config_parser: Introduce stricter syntax conventions (#1377) This is the next step to merge #1237 in stages. Currently there are barely any restrictions on how the config can be written. This causes things like config files with DOS line endings to not be parsed properly (#1366) because polybar splits by `\n` and when parsing section headers, it can't deal with the `\r` at the end of the line and thus doesn't recognize any section headers. With this PR we introduce some rules as to what characters are allowed in section names and keys. Note: When talking about spaces I refer to any character for which `isspace()` returns `true`. The rules are as follows: * A section name or a key name cannot contain any spaces as well as any of there characters:`"'=;#[](){}:.$\%` * Spaces at the beginning and end of lines are always ignored when parsing * Comment lines start with `;` or `#` and last for the whole line. The whole line will be ignored by the parser. You cannot start a comment at the end of a line. * Section headers have the following form `[HEADER_NAME]` * Key-value lines look like this: `KEY_NAME{SPACES}={SPACES}VALUE_STRING` where `{SPACES}` represents any number of spaces. `VALUE_STRING` can contain any characters. If it is *surrounded* with double quotes (`"`), those quotes will be removed, this can be used to add spaces to the beginning or end of the value * Empty lines are lines with only spaces in them * If the line has any other form, it is a syntax error This will introduce the following breaking changes because of how underdefined the config syntax was before: * `key = ""` will get treated as an empty string instead of the literal * string `""` * Any section or key name with forbidden characters will now be syntax errors. * Certain strings will be forbidden as section names: `self`, `root`, * `BAR`. Because they have a special meaning inside references and so a * section `[root]` can never be referenced. This replaces the current parser implementation with a new more robust one that will later be expanded to also check for dependency cycles and allow for values that contain references mixed with other strings. This PR also now expands the config paths given over the command line so that `--config=~/.config/polybar/config` resolves properly. Closes #1032 Closes #1694 * config_parser: Add skeleton with tests First step in the config_parser develoment. Only tests functions that are easily testable without many outside dependencies.

config_parser: Introduce stricter syntax conventions (#1377) This is the next step to merge #1237 in stages. Currently there are barely any restrictions on how the config can be written. This causes things like config files with DOS line endings to not be parsed properly (#1366) because polybar splits by `\n` and when parsing section headers, it can't deal with the `\r` at the end of the line and thus doesn't recognize any section headers. With this PR we introduce some rules as to what characters are allowed in section names and keys. Note: When talking about spaces I refer to any character for which `isspace()` returns `true`. The rules are as follows: * A section name or a key name cannot contain any spaces as well as any of there characters:`"'=;#[](){}:.$\%` * Spaces at the beginning and end of lines are always ignored when parsing * Comment lines start with `;` or `#` and last for the whole line. The whole line will be ignored by the parser. You cannot start a comment at the end of a line. * Section headers have the following form `[HEADER_NAME]` * Key-value lines look like this: `KEY_NAME{SPACES}={SPACES}VALUE_STRING` where `{SPACES}` represents any number of spaces. `VALUE_STRING` can contain any characters. If it is *surrounded* with double quotes (`"`), those quotes will be removed, this can be used to add spaces to the beginning or end of the value * Empty lines are lines with only spaces in them * If the line has any other form, it is a syntax error This will introduce the following breaking changes because of how underdefined the config syntax was before: * `key = ""` will get treated as an empty string instead of the literal * string `""` * Any section or key name with forbidden characters will now be syntax errors. * Certain strings will be forbidden as section names: `self`, `root`, * `BAR`.

With this PR we introduce some rules as to what characters are allowed in section names and keys. Note: When talking about spaces I refer to any character for which `isspace()` returns `true`. The rules are as follows: * A section name or a key name cannot contain any spaces as well as any of there characters:`"'=;#[](){}:.$\%` * Spaces at the beginning and end of lines are always ignored when parsing * Comment lines start with `;` or `#` and last for the whole line. The whole line will be ignored by the parser. You cannot start a comment at the end of a line. * Section headers have the following form `[HEADER_NAME]` * Key-value lines look like this: `KEY_NAME{SPACES}={SPACES}VALUE_STRING` where `{SPACES}` represents any number of spaces. `VALUE_STRING` can contain any characters. If it is *surrounded* with double quotes (`"`), those quotes will be removed, this can be used to add spaces to the beginning or end of the value * Empty lines are lines with only spaces in them * If the line has any other form, it is a syntax error This will introduce the following breaking changes because of how underdefined the config syntax was before: * `key = ""` will get treated as an empty string instead of the literal * string `""` * Any section or key name with forbidden characters will now be syntax errors. * Certain strings will be forbidden as section names: `self`, `root`, * `BAR`. Because they have a special meaning inside references and so a * section `[root]` can never be referenced. This replaces the current parser implementation with a new more robust one that will later be expanded to also check for dependency cycles and allow for values that contain references mixed with other strings. This PR also now expands the config paths given over the command line so that `--config=~/.config/polybar/config` resolves properly.

* We use the INI file syntax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file)
* Whitespaces (tested with isspace()) at the beginning and end of a line are ignored
* Keys and section names can contain any character except for the following:
* - spaces
* - equal sign (=)
* - semicolon (;)
* - pound sign (#)
* - Any kind of parentheses ([](){})
* - colon (:)
* - period (.)
* - dollar sign ($)
* - backslash (\)
* - percent sign (%)
* - single and double quotes ('")
* So basically any character that has any kind of special meaning is prohibited.
*
* Comment lines have to start with a semicolon (;) or a pound sign (#),
* you cannot put a comment after another type of line.
*
* key and section names are case-sensitive.
*
* Keys are specified as `key = value`, spaces around the equal sign, as
* well as double quotes around the value are ignored
*
* sections are defined as [section], everything inside the square brackets is part of the name

* @brief Determines the type of a line read from a config file
config_parser: Introduce stricter syntax conventions (#1377) This is the next step to merge #1237 in stages. Currently there are barely any restrictions on how the config can be written. This causes things like config files with DOS line endings to not be parsed properly (#1366) because polybar splits by `\n` and when parsing section headers, it can't deal with the `\r` at the end of the line and thus doesn't recognize any section headers. With this PR we introduce some rules as to what characters are allowed in section names and keys. Note: When talking about spaces I refer to any character for which `isspace()` returns `true`. The rules are as follows: * A section name or a key name cannot contain any spaces as well as any of there characters:`"'=;#[](){}:.$\%` * Spaces at the beginning and end of lines are always ignored when parsing * Comment lines start with `;` or `#` and last for the whole line. The whole line will be ignored by the parser. You cannot start a comment at the end of a line. * Section headers have the following form `[HEADER_NAME]` * Key-value lines look like this: `KEY_NAME{SPACES}={SPACES}VALUE_STRING` where `{SPACES}` represents any number of spaces. `VALUE_STRING` can contain any characters. If it is *surrounded* with double quotes (`"`), those quotes will be removed, this can be used to add spaces to the beginning or end of the value * Empty lines are lines with only spaces in them * If the line has any other form, it is a syntax error This will introduce the following breaking changes because of how underdefined the config syntax was before: * `key = ""` will get treated as an empty string instead of the literal * string `""` * Any section or key name with forbidden characters will now be syntax errors. * Certain strings will be forbidden as section names: `self`, `root`, * `BAR`. Because they have a special meaning inside references and so a * section `[root]` can never be referenced. This replaces the current parser implementation with a new more robust one that will later be expanded to also check for dependency cycles and allow for values that contain references mixed with other strings. This PR also now expands the config paths given over the command line so that `--config=~/.config/polybar/config` resolves properly. Closes #1032 Closes #1694 * config_parser: Add skeleton with tests First step in the config_parser develoment. Only tests functions that are easily testable without many outside dependencies. Integration tests will follow. * config_parser: Implement parse_header * config_parser: Implement get_line_type * feat(string): Add trim functions with predicate Not only trimming based on single character matching but based on a freely specifiable predicate.

But because we used the inverse (isnospace_pred) it all worked out, but if the function was used with any other function, it wouldn't have given the desired output * config_parser: Implement parse_file * config_parser: Switch operation to config_parser This changes the way the config is invoked.

The rules are as follows: * A section name or a key name cannot contain any spaces as well as any of there characters:`"'=;#[](){}:.$\%` * Spaces at the beginning and end of lines are always ignored when parsing * Comment lines start with `;` or `#` and last for the whole line. The whole line will be ignored by the parser. You cannot start a comment at the end of a line. * Section headers have the following form `[HEADER_NAME]` * Key-value lines look like this: `KEY_NAME{SPACES}={SPACES}VALUE_STRING` where `{SPACES}` represents any number of spaces. `VALUE_STRING` can contain any characters. If it is *surrounded* with double quotes (`"`), those quotes will be removed, this can be used to add spaces to the beginning or end of the value * Empty lines are lines with only spaces in them * If the line has any other form, it is a syntax error This will introduce the following breaking changes because of how underdefined the config syntax was before: * `key = ""` will get treated as an empty string instead of the literal * string `""` * Any section or key name with forbidden characters will now be syntax errors. * Certain strings will be forbidden as section names: `self`, `root`, * `BAR`. Because they have a special meaning inside references and so a * section `[root]` can never be referenced. This replaces the current parser implementation with a new more robust one that will later be expanded to also check for dependency cycles and allow for values that contain references mixed with other strings.

* @brief Checks if the given name doesn't contain any spaces or characters
config_parser: Introduce stricter syntax conventions (#1377) This is the next step to merge #1237 in stages. Currently there are barely any restrictions on how the config can be written. This causes things like config files with DOS line endings to not be parsed properly (#1366) because polybar splits by `\n` and when parsing section headers, it can't deal with the `\r` at the end of the line and thus doesn't recognize any section headers. With this PR we introduce some rules as to what characters are allowed in section names and keys. Note: When talking about spaces I refer to any character for which `isspace()` returns `true`. The rules are as follows: * A section name or a key name cannot contain any spaces as well as any of there characters:`"'=;#[](){}:.$\%` * Spaces at the beginning and end of lines are always ignored when parsing * Comment lines start with `;` or `#` and last for the whole line. The whole line will be ignored by the parser. You cannot start a comment at the end of a line. * Section headers have the following form `[HEADER_NAME]` * Key-value lines look like this: `KEY_NAME{SPACES}={SPACES}VALUE_STRING` where `{SPACES}` represents any number of spaces. `VALUE_STRING` can contain any characters. If it is *surrounded* with double quotes (`"`), those quotes will be removed, this can be used to add spaces to the beginning or end of the value * Empty lines are lines with only spaces in them * If the line has any other form, it is a syntax error This will introduce the following breaking changes because of how underdefined the config syntax was before: * `key = ""` will get treated as an empty string instead of the literal * string `""` * Any section or key name with forbidden characters will now be syntax errors. * Certain strings will be forbidden as section names: `self`, `root`, * `BAR`. Because they have a special meaning inside references and so a * section `[root]` can never be referenced. This replaces the current parser implementation with a new more robust one that will later be expanded to also check for dependency cycles and allow for values that contain references mixed with other strings. This PR also now expands the config paths given over the command line so that `--config=~/.config/polybar/config` resolves properly. Closes #1032 Closes #1694 * config_parser: Add skeleton with tests First step in the config_parser develoment. Only tests functions that are easily testable without many outside dependencies. Integration tests will follow. * config_parser: Implement parse_header * config_parser: Implement get_line_type * feat(string): Add trim functions with predicate Not only trimming based on single character matching but based on a freely specifiable predicate.

* @brief List of all the lines in the config (with included files)
config_parser: Introduce stricter syntax conventions (#1377) This is the next step to merge #1237 in stages. Currently there are barely any restrictions on how the config can be written. This causes things like config files with DOS line endings to not be parsed properly (#1366) because polybar splits by `\n` and when parsing section headers, it can't deal with the `\r` at the end of the line and thus doesn't recognize any section headers. With this PR we introduce some rules as to what characters are allowed in section names and keys. Note: When talking about spaces I refer to any character for which `isspace()` returns `true`. The rules are as follows: * A section name or a key name cannot contain any spaces as well as any of there characters:`"'=;#[](){}:.$\%` * Spaces at the beginning and end of lines are always ignored when parsing * Comment lines start with `;` or `#` and last for the whole line. The whole line will be ignored by the parser. You cannot start a comment at the end of a line. * Section headers have the following form `[HEADER_NAME]` * Key-value lines look like this: `KEY_NAME{SPACES}={SPACES}VALUE_STRING` where `{SPACES}` represents any number of spaces. `VALUE_STRING` can contain any characters. If it is *surrounded* with double quotes (`"`), those quotes will be removed, this can be used to add spaces to the beginning or end of the value * Empty lines are lines with only spaces in them * If the line has any other form, it is a syntax error This will introduce the following breaking changes because of how underdefined the config syntax was before: * `key = ""` will get treated as an empty string instead of the literal * string `""` * Any section or key name with forbidden characters will now be syntax errors. * Certain strings will be forbidden as section names: `self`, `root`, * `BAR`. Because they have a special meaning inside references and so a * section `[root]` can never be referenced. This replaces the current parser implementation with a new more robust one that will later be expanded to also check for dependency cycles and allow for values that contain references mixed with other strings. This PR also now expands the config paths given over the command line so that `--config=~/.config/polybar/config` resolves properly. Closes #1032 Closes #1694 * config_parser: Add skeleton with tests First step in the config_parser develoment. Only tests functions that are easily testable without many outside dependencies. Integration tests will follow. * config_parser: Implement parse_header * config_parser: Implement get_line_type * feat(string): Add trim functions with predicate Not only trimming based on single character matching but based on a freely specifiable predicate.
