I have placed tests for my custom todo actions in ~/.todo.actions.d/tests/; this causes a ".../.todo.actions.d/tests: is a directory" error on todo.sh help.
Added condition for regular files to the executable check in order to exclude subdirectories.
The global substitution in the AWK highlighting of prioritized and done tasks also affected the task text itself, not just the inserted color definitions.
Factored out the evaluation of the color variables and interpretation of \033 into a highlight() AWK function.
Added test cases which check that \a, \t, \n, \x.. and \0.. escape characters in the task text are listed as-is, without interpretation.
Fixed by removing the -e option that causes the echo command to interpret escape characters. Coloring of done tasks (the only step in the _list pipeline that required this interpretation) has been moved into the AWK pipeline step which is responsible for the priority coloring, and which does the escape character interpretation internally.
As a nice side effect, this shortening of the _list pipeline should also speed up the listing a wee bit.
This allows to leave off the .txt file extension in commands like "todo.sh listfile done".
Plus: Minor coding style alignment, replaced $1 argument with existing $FILE variable.
This makes done tasks more stand out (like prioritized tasks) in the task list. Default highlighting is LIGHT_GREY, which seems to be modest and go well with the assumed dark terminal background.
Reintroduced the OSX-compatible sed filter that was introduced by commit 8b7e2e6aad and superseded by the PRI_X coloring generalization.
I.e. removed the colon after the ITEM#. Updated tasks are now listed like the 'todo.sh ls' command does, e.g.
42 smell the roses
This is in preparation to eventually use a function factored out from _list() for the verbose task output, which would enable coloring in the verbose message and thus align the verbose message output even more with the normal task output.
- Removed (accidental) printing of the task (without leading ITEM#) when checking for existence of the task; using empty check of task text as done elsewhere.
- Simplified error handling and using die() for proper exit code.
- Aligned verbose move message with the verbose output of other commands.
- Condensing whitespace around TERM into a single space and removing leading/trailing spaces if at the beginning/end of the task.
- Proper error message if TERM not found.
- Aligned verbose removal message with the verbose output of the 'replace' command.
In addition, removed (accidental) printing of the task (without leading ITEM#) when checking for existence of the task; using empty check of task text as done elsewhere.
This fixes a personal annoyance.
If the text to be appended to the task begins with one of the delimiter characters, no whitespace is inserted in between. This makes appending to an enumeration (todo.sh add 42 ", foo") syntactically correct.
The list of delimiters is configurable (for personal preferences / non-English languages) via SENTENCE_DELIMITERS in the config file.
Generalized and simplified the logic that already kept an existing priority to also keep a date added via todo.sh -t / TODOTXT_DATE_ON_ADD (unless the replaced text also starts with a date).
No further actions are done after cleanup() calls, so the change from "exit" to "return" is safe. Further refactoring of the cleanup() calls is pending.
It allows you to assign a distinct color to any priority, not just A, B and C. Submitted to the todo.txt mailing list on 3-Jun-2010; committed on behalf of the author because there was no follow-up; cp. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/todotxt/message/2619
Also committed this because it fixes a sed expression error when there are spaces in a $PRI_... variable, which occurred in my integration with Conky.
Note: This commit obsoletes and replaces the previous fix to colorization in commit 8b7e2e6aad.
Added tests for highlighting of priorities.
In verbose mode, commands first print the updated task, then summarize the change in the following line.
The add/addm/addto commands deviated from this, using "TODO: '<task>' added on line N."
This change splits this into two separate lines, obsoletes the implementation jargon of "line", and makes it easier to visually parse the message.
This is also a preparation for a possible future use of a _list()-like function, so that the updated task is processed and highlighted like the normal task output.
Added proper quoting at check for search term starting with a dash.
Added tests for ls use with TERM, both with literal text and regexps. Seems that use case was missing from the tests so far.
Extra: Removed unnecessary "$@" argument to for() loop.
The help and messages now consistently use "task"; the use of "todo" is deprecated.
"ITEM#" is used to refer to the number of the task. This may be more consistently expressed as "TASK#". On the other hand, that could lead to more confusion between TASK (the text) and TASK# (the number).
The implementation still leaks through in the phrase "on line ITEM#"; ideally, todo.txt would abstract over the line-based textual representation.
On "todo.sh help", first the long help output is printed through the pager, and
after quitting the pager the output is printed once more in full.
Didn't write a test for this, as this requires a connected terminal and cannot
be observed in the test harness.
Fix: The "exec" command has no effect inside a pipe; added an explicit "exit 0".
Also simplified check for PAGER: No "exec" necessary, combining stderr and
stdout.
Also added quoting for PAGER so that it can contain spaces.
Versions of bash before 3.0 do not have =~ syntax to match on a regex.
Changed to using a simple grep -c test instead.
Fixes issues with osx and Solaris 9 and before.
- _list() now shows the capitalized filename in place of 'TODO:'.
For example, listing garden.txt produces a output prefixed by 'GARDEN:'
This eliminates the ' from $FILE' part of the _list() output. All tests
were adjusted to match this new output.
- 'add' and 'addm' now 'addto' with $TODO_FILE instead of user supplied file
- 'addto' now shows the capitalized filename in place of 'TODO:'.
For example, adding to garden.txt produces a output prefixed by 'GARDEN:'
(Probably the most controversial part of this commit and up for
discussion. If kept, the 'listfile' output should be made to match.
Note that this convention would then minimize standard output by
dropping the file name.)
- All existing add/addm/add-date tests pass. Two new test sequences were
added to test 'addto' and 'listfile' functionality.
- A space/tab nuissance was cleared up in the tests/README file.
