2017-05-15config: complain about --local outside of a git repoLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The "--local" option instructs git-config to read or modify the repository-level config. This doesn't make any sense if you're not actually in a repository. Older versions of Git would blindly try to read or write ".git/config". For reading, this would result in a quiet failure, since there was no config to read (and thus no matching config value). Writing would generally fail noisily, since ".git" was unlikely to exist. But since b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git", 2016-10-20), we catch this in the call to git_pathdup() and die with an assertion. Dying is the right thing to do, but we should catch the problem early and give a more human-friendly error message. Note that even without --local, git-config will sometimes default to using local repository config (e.g., when writing). These cases are already protected by similar checks, and covered by a test in t1308. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The code to parse "git -c VAR=VAL cmd" and set configuration variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have been fixed. * jc/config-case-cmdline-take-2: config: use git_config_parse_key() in git_config_parse_parameter() config: move a few helper functions up
2017-02-23config: use git_config_parse_key() in git_config_parse_parameter()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+62
The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed anything to pass. It also downcased everything in the variable name, even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensitive manner. Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL", and handles these details correctly. Replace the strbuf_tolower() call in git_config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct both issues. git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical codepath here.

2017-02-01urlmatch: allow globbing for the URL host partLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+72
The URL matching function computes for two URLs whether they match not. The match is performed by splitting up the URL into different parts and then doing an exact comparison with the to-be-matched URL. The main user of `urlmatch` is the configuration subsystem. It allows to set certain configurations based on the URL which is being connected to via keys like `http.<url>.*`. A common use case for this is to set proxies for only some remotes which match the given URL. Unfortunately, having exact matches for all parts of the URL can become quite tedious in some setups. Imagine for example a corporate network where there are dozens or even hundreds of subdomains, which would have to be configured individually. Allow users to write an asterisk '*' in place of any 'host' or 'subdomain' label as part of the host name. For example, "http.https://*.example.com.proxy" sets "http.proxy" for all direct subdomains of "https://example.com", e.g. "https://foo.example.com", but not "https://foo.bar.example.com".

2017-02-01urlmatch: include host in urlmatch rankingLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+33
In order to be able to rank positive matches by `urlmatch`, we inspect the path length and user part to decide whether a match is better than another match. As all other parts are matched exactly between both URLs, this is the correct thing to do right now. In the future, though, we want to introduce wild cards for the domain part. When doing this, it does not make sense anymore to only compare the path lengths. Instead, we also want to compare the domain lengths to determine which of both URLs matches the host part more closely.

2016-06-17tests: use test_i18n* functions to suppress false positivesLibravatar Vasco Almeida1-4/+4
The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run under GETTEXT_POISON. By using those functions to test output which is correctly marked as translatable, enables one to detect if the strings newly marked for translation are from plumbing output. If they are indeed from plumbing, the test would fail, and the string should be unmarked, since it is not seen by users. Thus, it is productive to not have false positives when running the test under GETTEXT_POISON. This commit replaces normal test functions by their i18n aware variants in use-cases know to be correctly marked for translation, suppressing false positives.

2016-03-23git_config_push_parameter: handle empty GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERSLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+14
The "git -c var=value" option stuffs the config value into $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, so that sub-processes can see it. When the config is later read via git_config() or similar, we parse it back out of that variable. The parsing end is a little bit picky; it assumes that each entry was generated with sq_quote_buf(), and that there is no extraneous whitespace. On the generating end, we are careful to append to an existing $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable if it exists. However, our test for "should we add a space separator" is too liberal: it will add one even if the environment variable exists but is empty. As a result, you might end up with: GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS=" 'core.foo=bar'" which the parser will choke on. This was hard to trigger in older versions of git, since we only set the variable when we had something to put into it (though you could certainly trigger it manually). But since 14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line, 2016-02-29), the submodule code will unconditionally put the $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable into the environment of any operation in the submodule, whether it is empty or not. So any of those operations which themselves use "git -c" will generate the unparseable value and fail. We can easily fix it by catching this case on the generating side. While we're adding a test, let's also check that multiple layers of "git -c" work, which was previously not tested at all.

2016-03-23t1300: fix the new --show-origin tests on WindowsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+6
On Windows, we have that funny situation where the test script can refer to POSIX paths because it runs in a shell that uses a POSIX emulation layer ("MSYS2 runtime"). Yet, git.exe does *not* understand POSIX paths at all but only pure Windows paths. So let's just convert the POSIX paths to Windows paths before passing them on to Git, using `pwd` (which is already modified on Windows to output Windows paths). While fixing the new tests on Windows, we also have to exclude the tests that want to write a file with a name that is illegal on Windows (unfortunately, there is more than one test trying to make use of that file).

2016-03-23t1300-repo-config: make it resilient to being run via 'sh -x'Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-6/+2
One way to diagnose broken regression tests is to run the test script using 'sh -x t... -i -v' to find out which call actually demonstrates the symptom. Hence it is pretty counterproductive if the test script behaves differently when being run via 'sh -x', in particular when using test_cmp or test_i18ncmp on redirected stderr. A more recent way "sh tXXXX -i -v -x" has the same issue. So let's use test_i18ngrep (as suggested by Jonathan Nieder) instead of test_cmp/test_i18ncmp to verify that stderr looks as expected.

2015-08-10config: add '--name-only' option to list only variable namesLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+22
'git config' can only show values or name-value pairs, so if a shell script needs the names of set config variables it has to run 'git config --list' or '--get-regexp' and parse the output to separate config variable names from their values. However, such a parsing can't cope with multi-line values. Though 'git config' can produce null-terminated output for newline-safe parsing, that's of no use in such a case, becase shells can't cope with null characters. Even our own bash completion script suffers from these issues. Help the completion script, and shell scripts in general, by introducing the '--name-only' option to modify the output of '--list' and '--get-regexp' to list only the names of config variables, so they don't have to perform error-prone post processing to separate variable names from their values anymore.

2013-09-09git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internallyLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it considers to be an "int". This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long), which is not documented and is subject to change. And even if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a git-config option to match that behavior. Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using (and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is there). Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look at config variables with large values. For instance, one cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit "unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the script cannot read any value over 2G. Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however, a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

2013-03-29t1300: document some aesthetic failures of the config editorLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+35
The config-editing code used by "git config var value" is built around the regular config callback parser, whose only triggerable item is an actual key. As a result, it does not know anything about section headers, which can result in unnecessarily ugly output: 1. When we delete the last key in a section, we should be able to delete the section header. 2. When we add a key into a section, we should be able to reuse the same section header, even if that section did not have any keys in it already. Unfortunately, fixing these is not trivial with the current code. It would involve the config parser recording and passing back information on each item it finds, including headers, keys, and even comments (or even better, generating an actual in-memory parse-tree). Since these behaviors do not cause any functional problems (i.e., the resulting config parses as expected, it is just uglier than one would like), fixing them can wait until somebody feels like substantially refactoring the parsing code. In the meantime, let's document them as known issues with some tests. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-10-24git-config: do not complain about duplicate entriesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
If git-config is asked for a single value, it will complain and exit with an error if it finds multiple instances of that value. This is unlike the usual internal config parsing, however, which will generally overwrite previous values, leaving only the final one. For example: [set a multivar] $ git config user.email one@example.com $ git config --add user.email two@example.com [use the internal parser to fetch it] $ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT Your Name <two@example.com> ... [use git-config to fetch it] $ git config user.email one@example.com error: More than one value for the key user.email: two@example.com This overwriting behavior is critical for the regular parser, which starts with the lowest-priority file (e.g., /etc/gitconfig) and proceeds to the highest-priority file ($GIT_DIR/config). Overwriting yields the highest priority value at the end. Git-config solves this problem by implementing its own parsing. It goes from highest to lowest priorty, but does not proceed to the next file if it has seen a value. So in practice, this distinction never mattered much, because it only triggered for values in the same file. And there was not much point in doing that; the real value is in overwriting values from lower-priority files. However, this changed with the implementation of config include files. Now we might see an include overriding a value from the parent file, which is a sensible thing to do, but git-config will flag as a duplication. This patch drops the duplicate detection for git-config and switches to a pure-overwrite model (for the single case; --get-all can still be used if callers want to do something more fancy). As is shown by the modifications to the test suite, this is a user-visible change in behavior. An alternative would be to just change the include case, but this is much cleaner for a few reasons: 1. If you change the include case, then to what? If you just stop parsing includes after getting a value, then you will get a _different_ answer than the regular config parser (you'll get the first value instead of the last value). So you'd want to implement overwrite semantics anyway. 2. Even though it is a change in behavior for git-config, it is bringing us in line with what the internal parsers already do. 3. The file-order reimplementation is the only thing keeping us from sharing more code with the internal config parser, which will help keep differences to a minimum. Going under the assumption that the primary purpose of git-config is to behave identically to how git's internal parsing works, this change can be seen as a bug-fix.

2012-10-24t1300: test "git config --get-all" more thoroughlyLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+7
We check that we can "--get-all" a multi-valued variable, but we do not actually confirm that the output is sensible. Doing so reveals that it works fine, but this will help us ensure we do not have regressions in the next few patches, which will touch this area. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2012-10-24t1300: style updatesLibravatar Jeff King1-123/+178
The t1300 test script is quite old, and does not use our modern techniques or styles. This patch updates it in the following ways: 1. Use test_cmp instead of cmp (to make failures easier to debug). 2. Use test_cmp instead of 'test $(command) = expected'. This makes failures much easier to debug, and also makes sure that $(command) exits appropriately. 3. Use test_must_fail (easier to read, and checks more rigorously for signal death). 4. Write tests with the usual style of: test_expect_success 'test name' ' test commands && ... ' rather than one-liners, or using backslash-continuation. This is purely a style fixup. There are still a few command happening outside of test_expect invocations, but they are all innoccuous system commands like "cat" and "cp". In an ideal world, each test would be self sufficient and all commands would happen inside test_expect, but it is not immediately obvious how the grouping should work (some of the commands impact the subsequent tests, and some of them are setting up and modifying state that many tests depend on). This patch just picks the low-hanging style fruit, and we can do more fixes on top later. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2012-04-25config: reject bogus section names for --rename-sectionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
You can feed junk to "git config --rename-section", which will result in a config file that git will not even parse (so you cannot fix it with git-config). We already have syntactic sanity checks when setting a variable; let's do the same for section names. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-03-13Merge branch 'ms/maint-config-error-at-eol-linecount'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+31
When "git config" diagnoses an error in a configuration file and shows the line number for the offending line, it miscounted if the error was at the end of line.

2012-03-12config: report errors at the EOL with correct line numberLibravatar Martin Stenberg1-0/+31
A section in a config file with a missing "]" reports the next line as bad, same goes to a value with a missing end quote. This happens because the error is not detected until the end of the line, when line number is already increased. Fix this by decreasing line number by one for these cases.

2012-02-17config: stop using config_exclusive_filenameLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+25
The git-config command sometimes operates on the default set of config files (either reading from all, or writing to repo config), and sometimes operates on a specific file. In the latter case, we set the magic global config_exclusive_filename, and the code in config.c does the right thing. Instead, let's have git-config use the "advanced" variants of config.c's functions which let it specify an individual filename (or NULL for the default). This makes the code a lot more obvious, and fixes two small bugs: 1. A relative path specified by GIT_CONFIG=foo will look in the wrong directory if we have to chdir as part of repository setup. We already handle this properly for "git config -f foo", but the GIT_CONFIG lookup used config_exclusive_filename directly. By dropping to a single magic variable, the GIT_CONFIG case now just works. 2. Calling "git config -f foo --edit" would not respect core.editor. This is because just before editing, we called git_config, which would respect the config_exclusive_filename setting, even though this particular git_config call was not about looking in the user's specified file, but rather about loading actual git config, just as any other git program would.
