Enigmatic error:

Fixes daadd81ab6 (More automation for updating dependencies, 2025-10-31).
- Convert update checks in check.sh to mechanical updates.
- Use https://www.updatecli.io/ for now, which is not as
full-featured as renovatebot or dependabot, but I found it easier
to plug arbitrary shell scripts into.
- Add updaters for
- ubuntu-latest-lts (which is similar to GitHub Action's "ubuntu-latest").
- FreeBSD image used in Cirrus (requires "gcloud auth login" for now,
see https://github.com/cirruslabs/cirrus-ci-docs/issues/1315)
- littlecheck and widecharwidth
- Update all dependencies except Cargo ones.
- As a reminder, our version policies are arbitrary and can be changed
as needed.
- To-do:
- Add updaters for GitHub Actions (such as "actions/checkout").
Renovatebot could do that.
Most of our docker images are for an OS release which is past EOL. Most
are not checked in CI, which leads to more staleness. It's not
obvious which docker are expected to work and which are best-effort.
I've updated all of them in the past, which would be slightly easier
if we got rid of the redundancy.
Remove most unused ones for now, to reduce confusion and maintenance
effort. Some Ubuntu images are replaced by
docker/ubuntu-latest-lts.Dockerfile
docker/ubuntu-oldest-supported.Dockerfile
Leave around the fedora:latest and opensuse/tumbleweed:latest images
for now, though I don't think there's a reason to publish them in
build_docker_images until we add CI jobs.
We can add some images back (even past-EOL versions) but preferrably
with a documentted update policy (see next commit) and CI tests
(could be a nightly/weekly/pre-release check).
build_tools/check.sh would give more coverage (the translation
checks is the main difference) but it tests embed-data builds;
for now testing, traditionally installed builds is more important
(especially since I always test check.sh locally already). In future
we will probably make embedding mandatory and get rid of this schism.
Cirrus builds fail with
error: failed to get `pcre2` as a dependency of package `fish v4.1.0-snapshot (/tmp/cirrus-ci-build)`
...
Caused by:
the SSL certificate is invalid; class=Ssl (16); code=Certificate (-17)
Likely introduced by b644fdbb04 (docker: do not install recommended
packages on Ubuntu, 2025-10-06). Some Ubuntu Dockerfiles already
install ca-certificates explicitly but others do not. Fix the latter.
Use test_driver directly instead of CMake in the docker tests.
Deal with the read-only "/fish-source" by exporting
"CARGO_TARGET_DIR=$HOME/fish-build". It seems correct to also inject this
environment variable into the interactive debugging shells. Add some logging
to make this override more obvious to the user.
Adopt "build_tools/check.sh", because that defines the full set of checks
that we (eventually) want to run in CI.
In particular, this will also run "tests/checks/po-files-up-to-date.fish"
which "cargo b && cargo t && tests/test_driver.py" does not, due to the
REQUIRES clause.
Since most docker images have some lints/warnings today, disable those for
now. Use "docker_run_tests.sh --lint" to override. The default may be changed
in future.
Some changes fix actual problems, e.g. missing spaces in square bracket tests,
and backticks unintentionally causing code execution when intended as formatting.
Others, such as conservative quoting probably work fine in the old version in
most situations, but it's nice to have some additional safety.
Using `{ ..; }` instead of `(..)` is just a small performance enhancement.
Many of these issues were identified by shellcheck, which might be useful in CI
as well.
- Ubuntu focal is the lowest LTS release that we can support with only
distro packages (e.g. no rustup).
- Remove tsan from Cirrus (it's not working currently, and also not really
important).
- Remove Centos (it passes tests but I'm not sure it's worth adding; there
isn't even an official docker image for CentOS Stream).
git_version_gen fails on Noble Numbat because modern Git refuses
to read repo-local config if owned by another user.
fishuser@a4263f53c93e:~/fish-build$ cd /fish-source/
fishuser@a4263f53c93e:/fish-source$ git describe --always --dirty
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/fish-source'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
Allow reading it (though that doesn't seem necessary here, it would be better
to ignore it).
NCurses headers contain this conditional "#define cur_term":
print "#elif @cf_cv_enable_reentrant@"
print "NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR(TERMINAL *, cur_term);"
print "#define cur_term NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR(cur_term())"
print "#else"
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed uses this configuration option; For reentrancy, cur_term
is a function. If the NCurses autoconf variable @NCURSES_WRAP_PREFIX@
is not changed from its default, the function is called _nc_cur_term.
I'm not sure if we have a need to support non-default @NCURSES_WRAP_PREFIX@
but if we do there are various ways;
- search for the symbol with the cur_term suffix
- figure out the prefix based on the local curses installation,
for example by looking at the header files.
Fixes#10243
Use Rust for executables
Drops the C++ entry points and restructures the Rust package into a
library and three binary crates.
Renames the fish-rust package to fish.
At least on Ubuntu, "fish_indent" is built before "fish".
Make sure export CURSES_LIBRARY_LIST to all binaries to make sure
that "cached-curses-libnames" is populated.
Closes#10198
The Dockerfiles had bitrotted some.
Get them passing again, add libpcre2-dev where we can so we aren't
hitting more servers than necessary, and reformat the bionic files so
they can share more of the same image.
Since #3914 we convert empty CDPATH entries to ".", which makes them
easier to use in fish scripts. This has backfired here, because bash's
cd prints the directory if the "." entry from CDPATH is used.
From bash(1) on cd:
> If a non-empty directory name from CDPATH is used, or if - is
> the first argument, and the directory change is successful, the
> absolute pathname of the new working directory is written to the
> standard output.
My preferred fix would be to convince bash to amend "non-empty
directory" to "non-empty directory other than .".
This is the start of an effort to make it easier to build and run tests in
various Linux environments. The idea is to reduce our reliance on CI and
also allow an easy to way capture tricky environments like musl or gcc 5.
This adds two initial Dockerfiles corresponding to Ubuntu Bionic, and
Ubuntu Bionic with Thread Sanitizer enabled. It also adds a new script
`docker/docker_run_tests.sh`. An example of usage:
docker/docker_run_tests.sh docker/bionic-tsan.Dockerfile
When run, this builds a Docker image (which is cached after the first
build) and sets its entry point to a new script `fish_run_tests.sh`. It
then launches a container with that image, with a directory `/fish-source`
bound to the fish-shell source directory on the host. Note it is a bind
mount, not a copy, so changes to host files are instantly visible inside
the container. It then configures with CMake and runs the tests.
The Docker user is `fishuser` with password `fish`.
The script also supports two arguments `--shell-before` and
`--shell-after`. These drop the user into a bash shell before (or after)
the tests are run, to aid in debugging.
Note there's no automation for invoking this script yet; it must be run
manually. But it runs on both Mac and Linux!
