The utility function that processes this for both 'variables' and
'uninstalled_variables' accepts a kwarg for the name of the argument,
but then hardcodes 'variables' in the warning message. This is
misleading.
It's not a MesonBug which needs to be reported, and the existing error
already adequately points out the problematic file.
It is impossible to get a PermissionError for files created by meson
itself, once the build directory has been created, anyway.
This was allows up to 0.61.0 (including with the initial type
annotations), but was accidentally broken by fixes for other bugs in
0.61.1.
Fixes: #9883
In commit 06481666f4 this warning got
moved from build.py to the interpreter. Unfortunately it got added to
the wrong function... it is supposed to be part of custom_target and
even mentions this as the feature_name.
Since then, build_always became a KwargInfo and has the deprecated-since
attribute baked into it. But it didn't have the additional message which
it really should have.
Add that message at the same time we remove it from vcs_tag.
In commit 928078982c a good error message
about the directory not being a valid build directory, was replaced by a
worse message.
In commit abaa980436 the error message was
replaced by a traceback when trying to load the coredata before checking
if it was a build directory.
Revert back to using the helper function with the good error message.
Reorganize code so that we check basic things first, and do less work
before detecting errors.
Fixes#9584
The tests and the unittests both unconditionally call setup_vsenv()
because all tests are run using the backend commands directly: ninja,
msbuild, etc.
There's no way to undo this vs env setup, so the only way to test that
--vsenv works is by:
1. Removing all paths in PATH that provide ninja
2. Changing setup_vsenv(force=True) to forcibly set-up a new vsenv
when MESON_FORCE_VSENV_FOR_UNITTEST is set
3. Mock-patching build_command, test_command, install_command to use
`meson` instead of `ninja`
4. Asserting that 'Activating VS' is in the output for all commands
5. Ensure that compilation works because ninja is picked up from the
vs env.
I manually checked that this test actually does fail when the previous
commit is reverted.
Otherwise we might not find a ninja that was picked up from the Visual
Studio installation.

Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9774
It used to support:
- a single string
- an array of anything
And as long as CustomTarget supported it too, everything worked fine.
So, a `files('foo')` worked but a `files('foo')[0]` did not, which is
silly... and it's not exactly terrible to use files() here, the input is
literally a list of source files.
Fixes building gnome-terminal
Fixes#9827
Test updated by Nirbheek Chauhan <nirbheek@centricular.com>
The original attempted fix only allowed configuration to succeed, but
not building. It was modeled based on the gdbus-codegen documentation,
which states:
--annotate WHAT KEY VALUE WHAT KEY VALUE WHAT KEY VALUE
Add annotation (may be used several times)
which clearly indicates that gdbus-codegen accepts an --annotate flag
that is followed by a multiple of 3 values, despite this not actually
working.
The manpage actually contradicts the --help text:
--annotate ELEMENT KEY VALUE
Used to inject D-Bus annotations into the given XML files. []
... and gives examples that use multiple --annotate flags each with 3
arguments.
To better understand what meson is supposed to do here, we should look
at ef52e60936, which ported to
typed_kwargs. There is actually a big chunk of code to handle
annotations that got completely dropped, leading with a comment (that
did not get dropped): "they are a list of lists of strings..."
Reimplement this logic inside a validator/converter for the annotations
kwarg container:
- do not listify, we don't accept `annotations: ''` and listify is
supposed to be for when either x or list[x] is valid
- go back to checking for a list of exactly 3 values
- allow a list of the aforementioned, in the traditionally expected
form:
[
['foo1', 'foo2', 'foo3'],
['bar1', 'bar2', 'bar3'],
]
- pass one --annotate flag per 3-value-list
And add some better error reporting for the cause of errors when
processing lists of lists.
Visual Studio Express does not come with the
'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64' workload.
This adds a check for the 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.WDExpress'
workload. Non-express versions take precedence over express versions
when activating.
When a custom_target() uses an env, meson uses a wrapper
script to run the executable. This breaks the console: kwarg
because the wrapper script buffers the output. Fix it by setting
the verbose flag which will not buffer output.
As soon as we check for args[1] we declare it is of type FileOrString,
and the additional ones specified in the `sources` kwarg explicitly
allow this. It makes no sense to not accept it as the posarg too.
Fixes building tracker-miners.
Fixes gtk3 build, which uses typesfile.
All these arguments are processed by a function that explicitly handles
both str and File, and converts them to absolute paths. They clearly
need to handle File objects.
Per the gdbus-codegen documentation, this "may be used several times",
and it is:
- a valid use case
- used that way in the wild
Fixes building at least geoclue2, gdm.
Regression in commit 566c2c9a9c.
The interpreter details are a bit of black magic. Functions expect
tuples, but they receive lists and then the type-checking decorators
convert those to tuples.
So, directly manhandling a self._interpreter.func_*() but passing it the
tuple it nominally expected, actually explodes in your face by way of
failing an assert, then dumping 'ERROR: Unhandled python exception'.
Fixes use of gnome.gtkdoc(..., check: true), for example when building
glib.
This is basically a rewrite of the gnome.yelp target to remove the
ad-hoc script, which generates multiple issues, including meson
not knowing which files were installed.

In commit e5a6283c4c, this function was
reorganized to assign value -> newvalue instead of overwriting newvalue,
but the error message case wasn't updated to match. As a result,
actually hitting the error would report an even more errory error, i.e.
a traceback.
(Actually hitting the error requires passing an array option as a python
object that isn't a list or a string. This is impossible to do from the
command line or meson_options.txt, but can be done with builtin options.)
In commit c239ce31f5 support was added to
these functions to accept various non-string types.
Despite the commit/PR documenting that only add_install_script is
permitted to accept built files, the actual check parameter was set, for
all three, to "True" (so the function was never invoked with False at
all). This meant that actually attempting to use the allowed types would
fail at postconf or dist, with python tracebacks in the former case and
"Failed to run dist script" in the latter case.
This was partially ameliorated in commit
6c5bfd4c24 which added typed_pos_args, but
unfortunately those typed_pos_args were all over the place.
For postconf:
- They banned external programs as additional args (which should be allowed)
- They banned built executables (good)
- They allowed custom targets as additional args (bad)
For dist:
- they allowed external programs (good)
- they allowed built executables, but only as the first argument (bad, also ???)
- they allowed custom targets, but only as additional arguments (bad, also ???)
Fix this all to only allow the same argument types for both the script
argument and the script-args arguments. That type is known at configure
time and restricted to source files, configured files, and found
programs.
In commit 2c0eaf5c4f support was added for
install scripts to accept found programs, built executables, or custom targets.
In commit c239ce31f5, this was extended to
dist and postconf scripts too (although it was documented that those
should not accept targets that are built by ninja).
Despite the commit/PR claiming that all of these should always accept
files and configured files, this was only true for arguments other than
the first, until commit f808c955ea.
In amongst all this, FeatureNew checks were never registered for the
first argument, only for additional arguments, until late in the game
with the addition of FeatureNew checks for File objects.
Fix this in part by moving the 3 different File checks into one, inside the
function that processes the first script, and make that function check
for FeatureNew on anything else too.
Removed errant "type: ignore".
Fixed issue with "fetch" call. This issue was the following:
Dict::get() and Dict::pop() have the following signature:
T.Callable[[_T, _U], _U | None] OR T.Callable[[_T], _U | None]
Note how the return type is _U here. When the fetch() function was
actually being called, it had the following signature:
T.Callable[[_T, T.List[_U]], T.Union[T.List[_U], _U]]
This is incompatible with the previous definitions. The solution is
simply to move where the default value is introduced if fetch() produces
None.
Since we scan all dependencies for build-only RPATHs now (which are
removed on install), we must take care not to add build-only RPATHs
pointing to directories that dependencies explicitly add -Wl,-rpath
link args for, otherwise the paths will get wiped on install.
Caught by LinuxlikeTests::test_usage_pkgconfig_prefixes
If a pkg-config dependency has multiple libraries in it, which is the
most common case when it has a Requires: directive, or when it has
multiple -l args in Libs: (rare), then we don't add -Wl,-rpath
directives to it when linking.
The existing test wasn't catching it because it was linking to
a pkgconfig file with a single library in it. Update the test to
demonstrate this.
This function was originally added for shared libraries in the source
directory, which explains the name:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/2397
However, since now it is also used for linking to *all* non-system
shared libraries that we link to with absolute paths:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/3092
But that PR is incomplete / wrong, because only adding RPATHs for
dependencies that specify a single library, which is simply
inconsistent. Things will work for some dependencies and not work for
others, with no logical reason for it.
We should add RPATHs for *all* libraries. There are no special length
limits for RPATHs that I can find.
For ELF, DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH are used, which are just stored in
a string table (DT_STRTAB). The maximum length is only a problem when
editing pre-existing tags.
For Mach-O, each RPATH is stored in a separate LC_RPATH entry so there
are no length issues there either.

Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4372
When generating pkgconfig file for a library that links to an
uninstalled static library built by custom_target() Meson was crashing
when trying to access some attributes that does not exist on that class.
Also fix is_internal() implementation, it only really make sense on a
CustomTargetIndex or if CustomTarget has only a single output.
Add ability to mutate a target's `extra_files` list through the
rewriter.
The logic is copied from sources add/rm, but changes the `extra_files`
kwarg instead of the sources positional argument.
Has additional logic to handle creating the `extra_files` list if it
doesn't exist.
