The $CI environment variable may be generally set by Github or Gitlab
actions, and is not a reliable indicator of whether we are running "CI".
It could also, for an absolutely random example that didn't *just
happen*, be Alpine Linux's attempt to enable the Meson testsuite in
their packaging, which... uses Gitlab CI.
In this case, we do want to perform normal skipping on not-found
requirements. Instead of checking for $CI, check for $MESON_CI_JOBNAME
as we already use that in all of our own CI jobs for various reasons.
This makes it easier for linux distros to package Meson without
accumulating hacks like "run the testsuite using `env -u CI`".
Fixes regression in commit 05b5a1e56f.
This added usage of another module in the python module's introspection
of `meson.exe runpython`, but the MSI packaging didn't adapt, causing it
to fail to be detected due to ImportError.

In commit b30dddd4e5, various refactorings
were done, during which a kwarg got accidentally dropped from the
function that determined part of the log message. As a result, a ':'
suddenly appeared in the log message where none should be.
Example expected output:
Checking if "-Werror=shadow with local shadowing" compiles: YES
What actually happened:
Checking if "-Werror=shadow with local shadowing" : compiles: YES
Fixes#9974
RuntimeError is way too generic when we have an explicit class for
"Meson reports to the user, something went wrong".
Moreover we now tell people that generic exceptions are "Meson bugs and
should be reported", so our failure to do the technically correct thing
and report the right kind of exception means we get haunted by demons of
confusion. Specifically, people complain to us that Meson told them
"there is a bug in Meson" when their install fails due to meson.build or
build environment issues.
This will really help with pipx run, as `pipx run meson[ninja]` will now work on any system with pipx 0.17 or newer, no dependencies required. This now includes GitHub Actions, which just updated to pipx 1.0.0. Pipx run lets you use recent (always <1 week old) versions of anything on PyPI.
This has never worked for built/found programs, only for script files.
In commit 2fabd4c7dc scripts learned an
attribute stating which subproject they came from. In commit
3990754bf5 dist scripts learned to run
even from a subproject, and relied on that attribute to know when, in
fact, they came from a subproject.
Unfortunately the original attribute was only set in one half of an
if/else, and the other half returned early with only part of the work
done.
Fixes#9964
In commit 0deab2ee9e we added the ability
to pass a declare_dependency() to any compiler method that accepts
"dependencies", but we never marked the version it is available since.
Fixes#9957
For static library crates that depend on other internal static library
crates, all link_with targets get promoted to link_whole targets. Due to
a bug, only link_with targets are considered when generating a Rust
target for the ninja backend. This made it impossible to link a Rust
static library with another internal Rust static library.
This change fixes that issue by chaining link_whole_targets with
link_targets, just like many other languages within the ninja backend.
Basically the last thing we did during target processing was to generate
shlib symlinks for e.g. libfoo.so -> libfoo.so.1.
In some cases we would dispatch to another function and return early,
though, which meant we never got far enough to generate the symlinks.
This then led to breakage when people tried to compile against libfoo.so
This surely breaks -uninstalled.pc usage, and also caused problems in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90260
Backported from 0185f2ed61, which contains
a fix that doesn't need to be backported, but we can backport the test
to ensure that it's still working in the 0.61 branch.
unittests/rewritetests.py:19: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives

For example:
```
meson builddir \
--native-file vs2019-paths.txt \
--native-file vs2019-win-x64.txt \
--cross-file vs2019-paths.txt \
--cross-file vs2019-win-arm64.txt
```
This was causing the error:
> ERROR: Multiple producers for Ninja target "/path/to/vs2019-paths.txt". Please rename your targets.
Fix it by using a set() when generating the list of regen files, and
add a test for it too.
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.

Now cygwin seems to have completed a migration of the default python to
3.9, so that is where the devel package is at.
Back out the changes from commit 3304a38496
and update the pip/wheel packages as appropriate.
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

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#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.
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.
