* add units support (POINT, PIXEL, SPACE) for polybar
- add a size_with_unit struct
- add a geometry_format_values struct
- move dpi initialisation from renderer.cpp to bar.cpp
- add a string to size_with_unit converter
- add point support (with pt)
- add pixel support (with px)
* Fix unit test compilation
* clang-format
* Better names
The old names didn't really capture the purpose of the structs and
function.
space_type -> spacing_type
space_size -> spacing_val
size_type -> extent_type
geometry -> extent_val
geometry_format_values -> percentage_with_offset
* Remove parse_size_with_unit
No longer needed. The convert<spacing_val> function in config.cpp
already does all the work for us and always setting the type to pixel
was wrong.
In addition, line-size should not be of type spacing_val but extent_val.
* Cleanup
I tried to address most of my comments on the old PR
* Fix renderer width calculation
We can't just blindly add the x difference to the width because for
example the width should increase if x < width and the increase keeps
x < width.
Similarly, we can't just add the offset to the width.
* Rename geom_format_to_pixels to percentage_with_offset_to_pixel
* Cleanup

* config: Use stod for parsing percentage
* Use stof instead of strtof
* units: Fix test edge cases
* Remove unnecessary clang-format toggle
* Use percentage_with_offset for margin-{top,bottom}
* Support negative extent values
* Rename unit to units and create a cpp file
* Move percentage_with_offset_to_pixel unit test to units
* Add unit tests for units_utils
* Clarify when and how negative spacing/extent is allowed
Negative spacing is never allowed and produces a config error.
Extents allow negative values in theory, but only a few use-cases accept
it.
Only the extent value used for the `%{O}` tag and the offset value in
percentage_with_offset can be negative. Everything else is capped below
at 0.
The final pixel value of percentage_with_offset also caps below at 0.
* Fix parsing errors not being caught in config
* Print a proper error message for uncaught exceptions
* Cleanup module::get_output
All changes preserve the existing semantics
* Stop using remove_trailing_space in module::get_output
Instead, we first check if the current tag is built, and only if it is,
the spacing is prepended.
* Remove unused imports
* Restore old behavior
If there are two tags and the second one isn't built (module::build
returns false), the space in between them is removed.
For example in the mpd module:
format-online = <toggle> <label-song> foo
If mpd is not running, the mpd module will return false when trying to
build the `<label-song>` tag. If we don't remove the space between
`<toggle>` and `<label-song>`, we end up with two spaces between
`<toggle>` and `foo`.
This change is to match the old behavior where at least one trailing
space character was removed from the builder.
* Add changelog entry
* Remove unused setting
* Use percentage with offset for tray-offset

The socket file is not deleted after socket.close() is called, only
after libuv executes the close callback.
So we can't just call rmdir because it will probably always fail.
* CLeanup WriteRequest

We change to the directory of the given config file before parsing.
This allows us to handle relative includes.

The previous CAST_MOD(Impl) for the action_router constructor was
illegal because `this` is not yet of type Impl (because the subclass
constructor has not run yet).
The action_router now accepts std::function for its callbacks.
Fixes#2519
Fixes#1978
* Move tail and non-tail handler to method
Defining them in the constructor is ugly.
* script: Iterate over defined actions instead of fixed list
* Separate running logic and lock m_output
* Include POLYBAR_FLAGS in linker flags
* Stop using m_prev in script_runner
* Join module threads in stop function
Joining in the destructor may lead to UB because the subclass is already
deconstructed but the threads may still require it to be around (e.g.
for calling any functions on the instance)
* Cleanup script module
* Update changelog
* Remove AfterReturn class
* Remove m_stopping from script module
* Fix polybar not reading the entire line from child process.
For every `readline` call we created a new fd_streambuf. This means once
`readline` returns, the streambuf is destructed and and pending data in
its temporary buffer discarded and we never actually read it.
* Remove unused includes
* module: Implement proof of concept action router
Action implementation inside module becomes much cleaner because each
module just registers action names together with a callback (pointer to
member function) and the action router does the rest.
* Make input function final
This forces all modules to use the action router
* modules: Catch exceptions in action handlers
* Use action router for all modules
* Use action_ prefix for function names
The mpd module's 'stop' action overwrote the base module's stop function
which caused difficult to debug behavior.
To prevent this in the future we now prefix each function that is
responsible for an action with 'action_'
* Cleanup
* actions: Throw exception when re-registering action
Action names are unique inside modules. Unfortunately there is no way to
ensure this statically, the next best thing is to crash the module and
let the user know that this is a bug.
* Formatting
* actions: Ignore data for actions without data
This is the same behavior as before.
* action_router: Write tests
* refactor(color): Use enum class for color type
* Add testcases for tag parser
* Make tag parser a pull-style parser
Being able to parse single elements at a time gives us more fine-grained
error messages, we can also parse as much as possible and only stop
after an exception.
* fix(color): Parser did not check for invalid chars
* tag parser: First full implementation
* tag parser: Fix remaining failing tests
* tag parser: Replace old parser
* tag parser: Treat alignment as formatting tag
Makes the structure less complex and the alignment tags really are
formatting tags, they are structurally no different from the %{R} tag.
* tag parser: Cleanup type definitions
All type definitions for tags now live in tags/types.hpp, the parser.hpp
only contains the definitions necessary for actually calling the parser,
this shouldn't be included in many places (only places that actually do
parsing). But many places need the definitions for the tags themselves.
* Rename components/parser to tags/dispatch
* tag parser: Cleanup
* Add changelog
Since the forked processes are still our children, we need to wait on
them, otherwise they become zombie processes.
We now fork twice, let the first fork immediately return and wait on it.
This reparents the second fork, which runs the actual code, to the init
process which then collects it.
Ref #770
It was not quite clear how try_apply_alpha should behave if the given
color was not ALPHA_ONLY. The implementation just returned 'this'.
However, the build relied on it returning the given color.
This broke all bg and fg settings in the entire bar.
To clear this up, we switch this around take the alpha channel of 'this'
and also return 'this' if it isn't ALPHA_ONLY.
Fixes#2255
Shell commands triggered from action tags used to block polybar until
they finished.
Since we are not actually interested in the output of the commands, it
makes sense to run them completely detached from polybar and have
polybar not block when executing these commands.
Now the spawned child processes no longer get killed when polybar
exits. This is fine because polybar is not responsible for these
processes since they were explicitly started by the user through click
commands.
Ref: #770
Ref: #1680
The intent is for every color to be stored in a rgba instance
The rgba class now stores the color in a 32 bit integer to save space
This also removes the unused class rgb and moves everything else into a
cpp file.
Many functions also had weird template parameters. For example
alpha_channel<unsigned short int> would give a 2 byte number with the
alpha channel byte in both bytes.
color_util::hex would return a hex string with alpha channel if unsigned
short int was given and without if unsigned char was given. Even more
curiously those parameters were passed to *_channel and the result
nevertheless truncated to 8bits.
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#1032Closes#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. Will be used to trim all spaces (based on
isspace)
* config_parser: Implement parse_key
* config_parser: Implement parse_line for valid lines
* config_parser: Throw exception on invalid lines
* config_parser: Remove line_no and file_index from parse_line
Cleaner to let the caller catch and fill in the line number and file
path
* string: Clear up misleading description of trim
Before, trim would remove all characters that *didn't* match the
predicate and thus the predicate isspace wouldn't work correctly. 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. Now main.cpp creates a
config_parser object which then returns the singleton config object from
the parse method. Subsequent calls to config::make will return the
already created config object as before
The config_parser does not yet have all the functionality of the old
parser: `inherit` directives are not yet resolved. Other than that all
the old functionality is implemented (creating sectionmap and applying
include-file)
Any sort of dependency detection (except for include-file) are still
missing
* config: Move xrm initialization to constructor
config_parser handles the detection of xrdb references and passes that
info to the config object.
This finally allows us to delete the config::parse_file function because
everything in it has been implemented (except for xrdb detection and
file error handling)
* refactor(config_parser): Cleanup
* config_parser: Set config data after initialization
Looks much cleaner this way
* config_parser: Expand include-file paths
* config_parser: Init xrm if the config uses %{xrdb references
* config_parser: Use same type of maps as in old impl
Polybar has some weird, not yet fixed, inheriting behaviour and it
changes depending on the order in which the config stores its data.
Using the same type of maps ensures that the behaviour stays the same.
* refactor(config_parser): Clearer invalid name error message
* config_parser: Don't allow reserved section names
Sections with the names 'self', 'BAR', 'root' could never be referenced
because those strings have a special meaning inside references
* config_parser: Handle inherit directives
This uses the old copy_inherited function, so this still suffers from
crashes if there are cyclic dependencies.
This also fixes the behaviour where any key that starts with 'inherit'
would be treated as an inherit directive
* config_parser: Clearer dependency cycle error message
* refactor(config_parser): Handle file errors when parsing
This removes the need to check if the file exists separately
* fix(config): expand config file path
Now paths using ~ and environment variables can be used as the config
path
* fix(config): Properly recognize xrdb references
* config_parser: Make messages more informative
* doc(config): Improve commenting
Comments now describe what the config_parser actually does instead of
what it will do.
We also now follow the rule that single line comments inside functions
should use `//` comments
* refactor: Move else on same line as curly braces
* fix(config_parser): Don't duplicate paths in `files`
* refactor(config_parser): Use else if for clarity
* fix(config): Undefined behavior in syntax_error
Before the custom what() method produced undefined behavior because the
returned string became invalid once the function returned.
* refactor(config): descriptive name for useless lines
is_valid could easily be confused as meaning syntactically invalid
without it being clarified in a comment
* refactor(config): Use separate strings instead of key_value
Takes just as much space and is much better to read
* fix(config_parser): TestCase -> TestSuite and fix macro call
Ref: #1644
* config_parser: use const string& in method args
* config_parser: Improve comments
* config_parser: Incorporate review comments
googletest (gtest) is more feature rich than the current implementation
which only provides expect() which is basically an assertion. It is also
quite intuitive to use, this can be seen in the rewrite of the
command_line test where EXPECT_THROW replaces a whole try-catch block.
I have also moved the source files the test depend on to be linked in
CMakeLists.txt instead of including them directly because include .cpp
files is bad.
The two x11 tests were removed because they were written two years ago
and a lot of the things they depend on, don't actually exist anymore in
polybar (I think we switched to xpp after those tests were written)
Tests are now compiled with the gcov lib which can be used to provide
test coverage in a second step
