If the ifcmd returns true and this option is set, it will match that
output against this field, and if they match, then we skip cmd.
Much cleaner than needing to invoke bash to compare two strings.
Initially I wasn't 100% clear or decided on the send/recv semantics.
After some experimenting, I think this is much closer to what we want.
Nothing should break or regress here, this only enables more
possibilities.
Instead of constantly making these updates, let's just remove the year
since things are stored in git anyways, and this is not an actual modern
legal risk anymore.
This adds a standard gate that prevents execution if a file exists. Of
note, this also adds a watch on it, so we can have a proper watched exec
resource without a watch cmd.
With the recent merging of embedded package imports and the entry CLI
package, it is now possible for users to build in mcl code into a single
binary. This additional permission makes it explicitly clear that this
is permitted to make it easier for those users. The condition is phrased
so that the terms can be "patched" by the original author if it's
necessary for the project. For example, if the name of the language
(mcl) changes, has a differently named new version, someone finds a
phrasing improvement or a legal loophole, or for some other
reasonable circumstance. Now go write some beautiful embedded tools!
There were some bugs about setting resource fields that were structs
with various fields. This makes things more strict and correct. Now we
check for duplicate field names earlier (duplicates due to identical
aliases) and we also don't try and set private fields, or incorrectly
set partial structs.
Most interestingly, this also cleans up all of the resources and ensures
that each one has nicer docs and a clear struct tag for fields that we
want to use in mcl. These are mandatory now, and if you're missing the
tag, then we will ignore the field.
This ensures that docstring comments are wrapped to 80 chars. ffrank
seemed to be making this mistake far too often, and it's a silly thing
to look for manually. As it turns out, I've made it too, as have many
others. Now we have a test that checks for most cases. There are still a
few stray cases that aren't checked automatically, but this can be
improved upon if someone is motivated to do so.
Before anyone complains about the 80 character limit: this only checks
docstring comments, not source code length or inline source code
comments. There's no excuse for having docstrings that are badly
reflowed or over 80 chars, particularly if you have an automated test.
The exec resource was an early addition to the project, and it was due
for some fixes and integration into our automated tests. This patch
fixes a number of issues, and makes it ready for more general use.
Some of the early code I wrote probably wouldn't pass my own reviews
today. Here's one example of a rare deadlock that could sometimes occur
when a Process/CheckApply caused a shutdown, but the bufio tried to send
on a channel that nobody was going to read any more. Now we properly
unblock that send with a context.
The engine core had some unfortunate bugs that were the result of some
early design errors when I wasn't as familiar with channels. I've
finally rewritten most of the bad parts, and I think it's much more
logical and stable now.
This also simplifies the resource API, since more of the work is done
completely in the engine, and hidden from view.
Lastly, this adds a few new metaparameters and associated code.
There are still some open problems left to solve, but hopefully this
brings us one step closer.
This giant patch makes some much needed improvements to the code base.
* The engine has been rewritten and lives within engine/graph/
* All of the common interfaces and code now live in engine/
* All of the resources are in one package called engine/resources/
* The Res API can use different "traits" from engine/traits/
* The Res API has been simplified to hide many of the old internals
* The Watch & Process loops were previously inverted, but is now fixed
* The likelihood of package cycles has been reduced drastically
* And much, much more...
Unfortunately, some code had to be temporarily removed. The remote code
had to be taken out, as did the prometheus code. We hope to have these
back in new forms as soon as possible.
