Issue #457 pointed out that commands such as
hledger ui 'amt:>200'
failed. This was becasue the process of dispatching from `hledger ui`
to `hledger-ui` (note addition of `-`) lost the quotes around
`amt:>20` and the `>` character was interpreted as a shell redirection
operator, rather than as part of the argument.
The machinery for quoting or escaping arguements which cointain
characters which require quoting or escaping (thus far whitespace and
quotes) already existed. This solution simply adds shell stdio
redirection characters to this set.
Fixes#457
Hledger.Util.Tests helpers have been cleaned up, and test names are
now shown.
Tests have been cleaned up a bit. Some groups of unnamed tests have
been collapsed into a single named test containing a sequence of
assertions. The test command counts named tests, not assertions, so
the reported unit test count has dropped from 199 to 188.
easytest is not actively maintained and requires an old version of
hedgehog which does not support base-compat 0.11 & ghc 8.8.
This is still using the old easytest helpers, and not displaying test
names properly.
We previously had another parser type, 'type ErroringJournalParser =
ExceptT String ...' for throwing parse errors without the possibility of
backtracking. This parser type was removed under the assumption that it
would be possible to write our parser without this capability. However,
after a hairy backtracking bug, we would now prefer to have the option
to prevent backtracking.
- Define a 'FinalParseError' type specifically for the 'ExceptT' layer
- Any parse error can be raised as a "final" parse error
- Tracks the stack of include files for parser errors, anticipating the
removal of the tracking of stacks of include files in megaparsec 7
- Although a stack of include files is also tracked in the 'StateT
Journal' layer of the parser, it seems easier to guarantee correct
error messages in the 'ExceptT FinalParserError' layer
- This does not make the 'StateT Journal' stack redundant because the
'ExceptT FinalParseError' stack cannot be used to detect cycles of
include files
This makes skipping/unskipping tests easier, and improves readability
a bit.
Note it's also possible to just write the test name with no preceding
function, when the type is constrained (see Journal.hs).
