@epage
Ah, it assumes v as well
Jacob Finkelman
@Eh2406
does that mean that the name needs to start with a v for install to work
Ed Page
@epage
Yup
Jacob Finkelman
@Eh2406
ok closing my pr.
Ed Page
@epage
It has to know what tags are relevant
Jacob Finkelman
@Eh2406
I closed my pr to cargo sweep holmgr/cargo-sweep#21
Jacob Finkelman
@Eh2406
I don't have perms, so hopefully @holmgr can retag things this weekend, and we will see if it is fully working.
Jacob Finkelman
@Eh2406
set up travis on my fork, and pushed a tag: https://github.com/Eh2406/cargo-sweep/releases/tag/v0.4.0
Jacob Finkelman
@Eh2406
It picked up the tag and tried to deploy but it has his secrets, so it did not work.
https://travis-ci.org/Eh2406/cargo-sweep/jobs/484559290#L267
https://travis-ci.org/Eh2406/cargo-sweep/jobs/484559285#L647
So it looks like changing the tags will work.
Thanks for the help!

RE assert_cmd 1.0
This is in the works.
I've been letting it sit to gather feedback before bumping to 1.0. This led to assert-rs/assert_cmd#69 and am in that same holding pattern; waiting for people to upgrade, try it out, and report back problems

assert_fs is in a similar boat but less controversial in my mind; I'd be willing to bump that any time.

Should they both go in the same announcement post?

Pascal Hertleif
@killercup
@epage morning! yeah, wanted to ping you about that. at the all hands cli meeting yesterday we talked about assert-rs for a bit -- it's probably the most complete of all the items we had on the WG todo list from last year!
Pascal Hertleif
@killercup
what are your immediate plans for these crates? i haven't been following in detail, but _cmd and _fs both look like there are no breaking changes happening soon, right? if we can squish the last known bugs, pushing them to 1.0 sounds like a good idea.
i'd love to get one or more blog posts out explaining to people how these crates fit together and how amazing predicates is. i can totally (help) write this
this might also be the right time to make assert_cli re-export the 1.0 crates, as well as helpers like tempfile
Ed Page
@epage
I would put them at release candidate stage (and have been for a while). I've taken care of any 1.0 blocking bugs but I consider the recent API breakers to be uncertain enough that I was planning on waiting a month or so to see what feedback trickles in.
So the current plan for assert_cli is to just aggregate the various CLI-related testing crates? At one point you were talking about a higher level, abstraction like in the waltz tests
Oh and two things I'd like to see but not blocking 1.0
  • Directory diffing. Still been mulling over what'd be the appropriate API
  • Snapshot testing as you suggested. I'm waiting to see how the other snapshot testing crates mature

Hello everyone. Is there a standard, cross-platform way to add tab completion to Rust CLIs? The solutions I've found in my searches look like they probably won't be cross-platform. Here are a couple of links I've found.
rust-lang/rustup.rs#278

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/4qvltw/claprs_can_now_generate_bash_tabcompletion/

I expect to use a combination of static (clap-rs generated) and dynamic tab completion (think path completion on the command line). I figured this group would be the most well connected with the best practices for this currently.

Pascal Hertleif
@killercup
@epage sounds good! i meant that once we have cmd and fs at 1.0, we should start building up assert-cli again from that, and iterate on its design from that
and yeah, i agree, dir diff and snapshots would be great to have. have you seen the progress on the insta crate?
Ed Page
@epage
been watching it.
Daniel Sockwell
@codesections
@jmwright What sort of cross-platform support are you looking for beyond what Clap provides? It does Bash, Powershell, Zsh, Fish, and Elvish, which seems to have most platforms covered
Jeremy Wright
@jmwright
@codesections Thanks for the reply. The only reference I found was to a bash autocomplete script, so I thought that only bash was supported. Looks like I was wrong.
Katharina Fey
@spacekookie
Just FYI, we renamed the github organisation to rust-cli to be more in-line with the rest of the working groups
Daniel Sockwell
@codesections
That makes sense. The old name was pretty fun, but I can see the logic

Hi all! I am looking for repositories with "good-first-issue" to contribute for this working group. I am looking at the repos under "https://github.com/rust-cli". Am I looking at the right place? Thanks!
Ed Page
@epage
That is one of the places

Two other related repos

At the moment, neither of those have good-first-issues but liquid is a dependency of some of those and it has some

Gargi Sharma
@gs0510
Amazing! Thanks @epage :)

Hey :) i was trying to get clap-derive to build with latest changes of clap, but it failed. It keeps complaining that i have a get_args_from_safe() method on App which doesn't exist even though i replaced all occurrences of that function. If anyone wants to look you can check out https://github.com/clap-rs/clap_derive/tree/fix/branch
Ricky
@deg4uss3r
@Dylan-DPC I was able to build it off that branch on MacOS with Rust 1.33
Dylan DPC
@Dylan-DPC
strange
Dylan DPC
@Dylan-DPC
@deg4uss3r build works for me as well, can you try cargo test?
Ricky
@deg4uss3r
Sorry was in a meeting :P trying cargo test now
yeah seeing the same no method named get_matches_from_safe errors
Dylan DPC
@Dylan-DPC
@deg4uss3r thanks.

Hi everyone, I've been working on a crate that might be of interest to the CLI working group and it's slowly getting into a usable state. It's a library and a set of macro's to help build interactive command-shell like applications. Although this might cross the line too much into TUI territory. You can find it at https://crates.io/crates/cmdr
If you think this fits into the rust cli ecosystem I'm very interested in feedback
Bruce Mitchener
@waywardmonkeys
@Mendelt I was working on something similar in a crate called commands … I’d like to talk more about this sort of thing sometime! I’m basing it on things like TOPS-20 and CLIM command systems.
Mendelt Siebenga
@Mendelt
@waywardmonkeys Great! I'll have a look at commands. I'm not familiar with TOPS-20 and CLIM. I worked with Cmd in Python a lot and wanted to build something similar for rust.
Bruce Mitchener
@waywardmonkeys
@Mendelt It is mid-afternoon here, so I’m going out shortly to pick up my daughter from school and stuff … what timezone are you in?
Mendelt Siebenga
@Mendelt
I'm in Europe, near rotterdam. It's 9 AM over here. But I'm at work right now so my availability is limited.

While you can still us this channel, please note that

the official chat for the CLI WG is now #wg-cli on the rust-lang discord server

lol I was just going to ask if this is still the main room or not
