A common, and challenging, issue in CI runners is debugging issues when
you know the information you want to check, but it's in the log file
which you don't have because remote CI machines.
There are various edge cases where this is especially hard to solve,
such as inside of `pip install` where the build directory with the log
file is automatically cleaned up. But it's never really *easy* when you
don't expect it, and the best case scenario is your iteration time gets
cut in half as you hurriedly go add some `cat`s to your CI scripts.
Meson can, at least sometimes, detect platforms where text can be
emitted inside of "folds", which are auto-collapsed and don't obscure
the general output, but when clicked will expand the logfile contents.
Hook this up.
We start off with a Github Actions implementation. We had some internal
code used by our own project tests runner, which can be utilized.
Also permit forcing it via an environment variable, in case
autodetection fails and you just want to force *something*, especially
when meson is called a couple layers deep inside some other tool.
This replaces all of the Apache blurbs at the start of each file with an
`# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0` string. It also fixes existing
uses to be consistent in capitalization, and to be placed above any
copyright notices.
This removes nearly 3000 lines of boilerplate from the project (only
python files), which no developer cares to look at.
SPDX is in common use, particularly in the Linux kernel, and is the
recommended format for Meson's own `project(license: )` field

This has no actual effect on the codebase as type checkers (still)
support both and negligible effect on runtime performance since
__future__ annotations ameliorates that. Technically, the bytecode would
be bigger for non function-local annotations, of which we have many
either way.
So if it doesn't really matter, why do a large-scale refactor? Simple:
because people keep wanting to, but it's getting nickle-and-dimed. If
we're going to do this we might as well do it consistently in one shot,
using tooling that guarantees repeatability and correctness.
Repeat with:
```

```
When running setup with `--profile-self` option,
there are currently no logs after "Found ninja...". However, there are
still some lengthy processes for generating targets and ninja.build.
This add more log entries, when profiling, only for the purpose of
displaying the timestamps of the different steps in ninja generation.
This is a pretty common pattern in python (the standard library uses it
a ton): A class is created, with a single private instance in the
module, and then it's methods are exposed as public API. This removes
the need for the global statement, and is generally a little easier to
reason about thanks to encapsulation.
We have functionality to squelch logging, and we use this for situations
where we run a fake interpreter and then emit output. e.g. `introspect`.
It's reasonable to avoid logging your bog-standard noisy `mlog.log()`
here, but unfortunately, we also avoided logging the output of
`mlog.exception()` followed by `sys.exit(2)`, because that went through
mlog! :P Special-case this to keep on printing, even if mlog.disable()
was used -- in such a case, we really do want to emit log output no
matter what. Users need this info to ensure they have any clue why Meson
returned a non-zero exit code.
We need this outside the constructor for the ParseException class, so
let's pull it out. mlog seemed like a good place since it's a text
formatting function, and has no dependencies.
enum comparisons are ultimately ints, so they're faster, plus they're
exhaustive, so mypy can statically determine that we've passed a valid
value rather than via an assertion at runtime.
This is annoying because we can't get proper auto-completion of mlog,
and because ultimately it was allowing keyword arguments to be silently
dropped on the floor. This does make the code a little more verbose, but
I think the trade-offs of completion + better safety are worth it.
PEP692, which will be part of python 3.12, provides a more elegant
solution using `TypedDicts` to annotate `**kwargs`, which we should
consider in the future.
Rather than passing arguments directly to less, set the LESS environment
variable to contain the desired arguments instead. This allows passing
arguments in case the user has PAGER=less set in their environment.
This does force a number of uses of `# pylint: disable` comments, but it
also finds a couple of useless global uses and one place (in the
previous commit) that an easy refactor removes the use of global. Global
is a code smell, so forcing adding a comment to disable helps force
developers to really consider if what they're doing is a good idea.
The `global` statement is only needed to assign to global variables, not
read or mutate them. So calling `global.mutate()` is fine, but not
`var = foo`, which would otherwise shadow `var`.
Using future annotations, type annotations become strings at runtime and
don't impact performance. This is not possible to do with T.cast though,
because it is a function argument instead of an annotation.
Quote the type argument everywhere in order to have the same effect as
future annotations. This also allows linters to better detect in some
cases that a given import is typing-only.
we return _log even though this entire family of functions returns None,
because a side effect of returning is that the other version of the
function is not run.
We can do that more obviously, using an else clause that doesn't attach
meaning to return values.
This reverts commit 5fcb0e6525.
The commit is a massive change that should have been split in
separate pieces, and it also removes a few features:
* in verbose mode, subtests are not printed as they happen
* in non-verbose mode the progress report does not include the
number of subtests that have been run
* in non-parallel mode, output is batched rather than printed as
it happens
Furthermore, none of these changes are not documented in the release
notes. Revert so that each proposal can be tested, evaluated and
documented individually.
This change set aims to fix various "issues" seen with the current
implementation. The changes can be summarized with the following list:
* Replace emojis and spinners with multiline status displaying the name
and running time of each currently running test.
* The test output (especially in verbose mode or when multiple failing
tests' output gets printed out) can get confusing. Try to make the
output easier to read and grasp. Most notable change here is the
addition of the test number to the beginning of each printed line.
* Print exit details (i.e. exit code) of the test in verbose mode.
* Try to make the verbose "live" output from tests to match the look and
feel of otherwise produced (verbose) test output.
Since it cannot resolve `import typing as T` in order to figure out that
T.* is doing annotation-worthy stuff.
Since T.cast('Foo') is not actually using Foo except in an annotation
context (due to being a string) it requires extra work to resolve, and
the only thing that would currently work is actually using
'typing.cast'. However, we have decided to not use it except as T...
Since this import is only imported during mypy it's not so bad to noqa
it.
Dependencies are currently printed as
[<mesonbuild.mlog.AnsiDecorator object at 0x7faa85aeac70>, ' ', <mesonbuild.mlog.AnsiDecorator object at 0x7faa85aeab50>]
This was introduced in commit adb1b2f3f6, due to
an incorrect type annotation on the AnsiText constructor. Fix both the
annotation and the usage.

Meson used to prepend '|' for each nested subproject to distinguish in
the logs where a subproject start and ends. It is more useful to print
the current subproject name.
Also print the call stack when starting a new subproject to better see
which subproject chain leads to to.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
Automatically colorize the text when printing the AnsiDecorator, based
on the result of mlog.colorize_console(). This is how AnsiDecorator
is used most of the time anyway.
