This is a layering violation, we're relying on the way the interpreter
handles keyword arguments. Instead, pass them as free variables,
destructuring in the interpreter
This code path is only called on initial download of a subproject, but
if we raise an error and abort while downloading/applying a patch
overlay we still have the upstream sources extracted... which appears to
be a subproject, then turns out to be broken due to missing meson.build
Partially implements #9688
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.
```
$ meson setup _build

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>
check: true is needed for an actual regression test, but that requires
a pedantically correct gtk-doc configuration, which I attempted to do
and failed. So let's just put check: false so we get *some* coverage:
just that typed_kwargs accepts the argument.
Related to https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9807
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.
Fixes a bug where the subproject version was not validated
when the subproject had already been processed.
The bug would cause inconsistent build results if the subproject was
referenced more than once (diamond) with conflicting version requirements.
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.
In some cases, init variables that accept None as a sentinel and
immediately overwrite with [], are migrated to dataclass field
factories. \o/
Note: dataclasses by default cannot provide eq methods, as they then
become unhashable. In the future we may wish to opt into declaring them
frozen, instead/additionally.
The pip package is for python 3.6, but installs pip for all versions of
python. Apparently. Including python 3.7.
So do all other packages, especially the ones where it doesn't work but
pip thinks it is installed anyway. Force a reinstall.
Names used in init functions are sometimes pointlessly different from
the class instance attributes they are immediately assigned to. They
would make more sense if defined properly.
It is unmaintained, broken (frequently for long periods of time) and not
really required for any meson functionality. Its purpose is to be used
as a one-shot tool for creating a distro package recipe, and then
deleted from your meson.build files.
Due to its fragile dependency on coredata implementation details, we
cannot assume it will reliably work, or continue to work, without
someone who is actively willing to take responsibility for it.
Even if that were to happen, this might be better off as an external
script that parses introspection data.
