We use the new AppSettings::AllArgsOverrideSelf to permit all flags to
be specified multiple times. This removes the need for our previous
work-around where we would enable `multiple` for every flag and then
just extract the last value when consuming clap's matches.
We also add a couple regression tests that ensure repeated switches and
flags work as expected.
This removes the vec-map feature from clap. clap's README claims that
vec-map provides a small performance benefit, but I could observe any in
ripgrep workloads.
The benefit here is that it drops a dependency.
Amazingly, this drops whole release build times for ripgrep from 68s to
33s, and debug build time also decreases from 22s to 15.5s. This was
entirely unintentional but a welcome surprise.
This commit updates the `log` crate to 0.4 and drops the dependency on
env_logger. In particular, the latest version of env_logger brings in
additional non-optional dependencies such as chrono that I don't think is
worth including into ripgrep.
It turns out ripgrep doesn't need any fancy logging. We just need a concept
of log levels and the ability to print to stderr. Therefore, we just roll
our own super simple logger.
This update is motivated by the persistent configuration task. In
particular, we need the ability to toggle the global log level more than
once, and this doesn't appear to be possible with older versions of the
log crate.
This commit fixes a bug on Windows where directory traversals were
completely broken when attempting to scan OneDrive directories that use
the "file on demand" strategy.
The specific problem was that Rust's standard library treats OneDrive
directories as reparse points instead of directories, which causes
methods like `FileType::is_file` and `FileType::is_dir` to always return
false, even when retrieved via methods like `metadata` that purport to
follow symbolic links.
We fix this by peppering our code with checks on the underlying file
attributes exposed by Windows. We consider an entry a directory if and
only if the directory bit is set on the attributes. We are careful to
make sure that the code remains the same on non-Windows platforms.
Note that we also bump the dependency on `walkdir`, which contains a
similar fix for its traversals.
This bug is recorded upstream:

This commit adds opt-in support for searching compressed files during
recursive search. This behavior is only enabled when the
`-z/--search-zip` flag is passed to ripgrep. When enabled, a limited set
of common compression formats are recognized via file extension, and a
new process is spawned to perform the decompression. ripgrep then
searches the stdout of that spawned process.
Closes#539
The regex update fixes the Rust nightly build failure by in turn updating
its simd dependency to 2.x.
The regex update also includes a literal optimization that uses Tuned
Boyer Moore.

The uninteresting bits of this commit involve mechanical changes for
updates to walkdir 2. The more interesting bits of this commit are the
breaking changes, although none of them should require any significant
change on users of this library. The breaking changes are as follows:
* `DirEntry::path_is_symbolic_link` has been renamed to
`DirEntry::path_is_symlink`. This matches the conventions in the
standard library, and also the corresponding name change in walkdir.
* Removed the `From<walkdir::Error> for ignore::Error` impl. This was
intended to only be used internally, but was the only thing that
made `walkdir` a public dependency of `ignore`. Therefore, we remove
it since it seems unnecessary.
* Renamed `WalkBuilder::sort_by` to `WalkBuilder::sort_by_file_name`,
and changed the type of the comparator from
Fn(&OsString, &OsString) -> cmp::Ordering + 'static
to
Fn(&OsStr, &OsStr) -> cmp::Ordering + Send + Sync + 'static
The corresponding change in `walkdir` retains the `sort_by` name, but
gives the comparator a pair of `&DirEntry` values instead of a pair
of `&OsStr` values. Ideally, `ignore` would hand off its own pair of
`&ignore::DirEntry` values, but this requires more design work. So for
now, we retain previous functionality, but leave room to make a proper
`sort_by` method.
[breaking-change]
This commit updates clap to v2.23.0
The update contained a bug fix in clap that results in broken code in
ripgrep. ripgrep was relying on the bug, but this commit fixes that
issue. The bug centered around not being able to override the
auto-generated help message by supplying a flag with a long of `help`.
Normally, supplying a flag with a long of `help` means whenever the user
passes `--help`, the consuming code (e.g. ripgrep) is responsible for
displaying the help message. However, due to the bug in clap this wasn't
necessary for ripgrep to do unless the user passed `-h`. With the bug
fixed, it meant the user passing `--help` and clap expected ripgrep to
display the help, yet ripgrep expected clap to display the help. This
has been fixed in this commit of ripgrep.
All well now!
v2.23.0 also brings the abilty to use `Arg::help` or `Arg::long_help`
allowing one to distinguish between `-h` and `--help`. This commit
leaves all doc strings in the `lazy_static!` hashmap however only for
aesthetic reasons.
This means all home rolled handling of `-h`/`--help` has been removed
from ripgrep, yet functionality *and* appearances are 100% the same.
This includes, but is not limited to, UTF-16, latin-1, GBK, EUC-JP and
Shift_JIS. (Courtesy of the `encoding_rs` crate.)
Specifically, this feature enables ripgrep to search files that are
encoded in an encoding other than UTF-8. The list of available encodings
is tied directly to what the `encoding_rs` crate supports, which is in
turn tied to the Encoding Standard. The full list of available encodings
can be found here: https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-encoding-get
This pull request also introduces the notion that text encodings can be
automatically detected on a best effort basis. Currently, the only
support for this is checking for a UTF-16 bom. In all other cases, a
text encoding of `auto` (the default) implies a UTF-8 or ASCII
compatible source encoding. When a text encoding is otherwise specified,
it is unconditionally used for all files searched.
Since ripgrep's regex engine is fundamentally built on top of UTF-8,
this feature works by transcoding the files to be searched from their
source encoding to UTF-8. This transcoding only happens when:
1. `auto` is specified and a non-UTF-8 encoding is detected.
2. A specific encoding is given by end users (including UTF-8).
When transcoding occurs, errors are handled by automatically inserting
the Unicode replacement character. In this case, ripgrep's output is
guaranteed to be valid UTF-8 (excluding non-UTF-8 file paths, if they
are printed).
In all other cases, the source text is searched directly, which implies
an assumption that it is at least ASCII compatible, but where UTF-8 is
most useful. In this scenario, encoding errors are not detected. In this
case, ripgrep's output will match the input exactly, byte-for-byte.
This design may not be optimal in all cases, but it has some advantages:
1. In the happy path ("UTF-8 everywhere") remains happy. I have not been
able to witness any performance regressions.
2. In the non-UTF-8 path, implementation complexity is kept relatively
low. The cost here is transcoding itself. A potentially superior
implementation might build decoding of any encoding into the regex
engine itself. In particular, the fundamental problem with
transcoding everything first is that literal optimizations are nearly
negated.
Future work should entail improving the user experience. For example, we
might want to auto-detect more text encodings. A more elaborate UX
experience might permit end users to specify multiple text encodings,
although this seems hard to pull off in an ergonomic way.
Fixes#1
The --max-filesize option allows filtering files which are larger than
the specified limit. This is potentially useful if one is attempting to
search a number of large files without common file-types/suffixes.
See #369.
When running ripgrep like this:
rg foo > output
we must be careful not to search `output` since ripgrep is actively writing
to it. Searching it can cause massive blowups where the file grows without
bound.
While this is conceptually easy to fix (check the inode of the redirection
and the inode of the file you're about to search), there are a few problems
with it.
First, inodes are a Unix thing, so we need a Windows specific solution to
this as well. To resolve this concern, I created a new crate, `same-file`,
which provides a cross platform abstraction.
Second, stat'ing every file is costly. This is not avoidable on Windows,
but on Unix, we can get the inode number directly from directory traversal.
However, this information wasn't exposed, but now it is (through both the
ignore and walkdir crates).
Fixes#286
This means that ripgrep will no longer try to reset your colors in your
terminal if you kill it while searching. This could result in messing up
the colors in your terminal, and the fix is to simply run some other
command that resets them for you. For example:
$ echo -ne "\033[0m"
The reason why the ^C handling was removed is because it is irrevocably
broken on Windows and is impossible to do correctly and efficiently in
ANSI terminals.
Fixes#281
The point of the ~ dependency was to avoid implicitly increasing the
minimum Rust version required to compile ripgrep. However, clap's policy
is to support at least two prior releases of Rust (which roughly
corresponds to the convention that others use too), and that is probably
good enough.
The problem with using a ~ dependency is that it can make packaging
ripgrep in Linux distros difficult, because it means the packager may be
forced to package multiple compatible versions of the same library.
Fixes#271
