v1.14.0

Try to upgrade zimfw.zsh if it's a symlink
Initially the idea was to not allow this so upgrades are disabled when the script is installed using a package manager, but this is an unnecessary complexity. Making it less smart and more predictable.

 _No unreleased changes._
 ## [1.14.0] - 2024-06-25
 ### Changed
 - Don't expand `${HOME}` in the init.zsh script. (See
  [#509](https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/issues/509))
 - Don't allow calling `zmodule` from the command line. Let it fail with "command
  not found" instead, as it's intended to be used only in the .zimrc script.
 - `ZIM_HOME` must be defined before sourcing zimfw.zsh. All documentation was
  already doing so, hence not considering this as a breaking change.
 - Allow zimfw.zsh to exist anywhere else, not only inside `ZIM_HOME`. This
  enables installing the zimfw.zsh script independently with a package manager.
 - Don't try to upgrade if sourced zimfw.zsh is not in a writable path.
 - Don't try actions that write to `ZIM_HOME` if user has no write permissions
  there.
 ### Fixed
 - Update error messages to hopefully make it clearer when either the git or the
  degit tool is being used.
 - Set read permissions to generated init.zsh script, so it can be read from
  other users.
 ## [1.13.1] - 2024-04-28
 ### Fixed
 - The `--strip` option in tar command is not BSD compatible.
 ## [1.13.0] - 2024-02-17
 ### Added
 - `--if-command` option to `zmodule`. This option is equivalent to
  `--if "(( \${+commands[${1}]} ))"`.
 - `mkdir` tool option in `zmodule` that creates an empty directory. This allows
  creating modules that contain only externally generated files.
 ## [1.12.1] - 2023-09-16
 ### Fixed
 - Expansion of prompt sequences in print statements causing text between
  backticks to be executed by the shell.
 ## [1.12.0] - 2023-07-17

  <%= bold %>-a<%= normal %>|<%= bold %>--autoload<%= normal %> <func_name>  Will autoload specified function. Default: all valid names inside

  <%= bold %>-s<%= normal %>|<%= bold %>--source<%= normal %> <file_path>    Will source specified file. The path is relative to the module

 Add %Bzmodule%b calls to your %B${ztarget}%b file to define the modules to be initialized.
 The initialization will be done in the same order it's defined.
  <url>                      Module absolute path or repository URL. The following URL formats
                             are equivalent: %Bfoo%b, %Bzimfw/foo%b, %Bhttps://github.com/zimfw/foo.git%b.
                             If an absolute path is given, the module is considered externally
                             installed, and won't be installed or updated by zimfw.
  %B-n%b|%B--name%b <module_name>    Set a custom module name. Default: the last component in <url>.
                             Slashes can be used inside the name to organize the module into
                             subdirectories. The module will be installed at
                             %B${ZIM_HOME}/%b<module_name>.
  %B-r%b|%B--root%b <path>           Relative path to the module root.
 Per-module options:
  %B-b%b|%B--branch%b <branch_name>  Use specified branch when installing and updating the module.
                             Overrides the tag option. Default: the repository default branch.
  %B-t%b|%B--tag%b <tag_name>        Use specified tag when installing and updating the module. Over-
                             rides the branch option.
  %B-u%b|%B--use%b <%%Bgit%b|%Bdegit%b>       Install and update the module using the defined tool. Default is
                             either defined by %Bzstyle ':zim:zmodule' use '%b<%%Bgit%b|%Bdegit%b>%B'%b, or %Bgit%b
                             if none is provided.
                             %Bgit%b requires git itself. Local changes are preserved on updates.
                             %Bdegit%b requires curl or wget, and currently only works with GitHub
                             URLs. Modules install faster and take less disk space. Local
                             changes are lost on updates. Git submodules are not supported.
  %B--no-submodules%b            Don't install or update git submodules.
  %B-z%b|%B--frozen%b                Don't install or update the module.
  The per-module options above are carried over multiple zmodule calls for the same module.
  Modules are uniquely identified by their name.
 Per-module-root options:
  %B--if%b <test>                Will only initialize module root if specified test returns a zero
                             exit status. The test is evaluated at every new terminal startup.
  %B--on-pull%b <command>        Execute command after installing or updating the module. The com-
                             mand is executed in the module root directory.
  %B-d%b|%B--disabled%b              Don't initialize the module root or uninstall the module.
  The per-module-root options above are carried over multiple zmodule calls for the same mod-
  ule root.
 Per-call initialization options:
  %B-f%b|%B--fpath%b <path>          Will add specified path to fpath. The path is relative to the
                             module root directory. Default: %Bfunctions%b, if the subdirectory
                             exists and is non-empty.
  %B-a%b|%B--autoload%b <func_name>  Will autoload specified function. Default: all valid names inside
                             the %Bfunctions%b subdirectory, if any.
  %B-s%b|%B--source%b <file_path>    Will source specified file. The path is relative to the module
                             root directory. Default: %Binit.zsh%b, if a non-empty %Bfunctions%b sub-

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Eric Nielsen	6166fce1a1	v1.14.0	2024-06-25 12:32:13 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	3b7908dca1	Try to upgrade zimfw.zsh if it's a symlink Initially the idea was to not allow this so upgrades are disabled when the script is installed using a package manager, but this is an unnecessary complexity. Making it less smart and more predictable.	2024-06-25 09:08:10 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	0785d87ea4	Improve error messages and check ZIM_HOME for write permission. Also, if ZIM_HOME is not defined, don't "autoload" the zimfw function, since this is going to be a scenario where the user only has something like `source /path/to/zim/init.zsh` in their .zshrc.	2024-06-21 15:43:48 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	eb37844857	Disable background version check if no write access to zimfw.zsh or if it's a symlink or not a regular file. It does not make sense to show a message to user saying "Run zimfw upgrade to upgrade" if the action will then fail.	2024-06-18 17:40:12 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	3e812ed311	Don't upgrade zimfw.zsh if not in a writable path or if it's a symlink or not a regular file. This makes more sense now that zimfw.zsh can exist outside ZIM_HOME, that the same file can be used my multiple users in the same machine, and that it is going to be possible to install it with a package manager once it's stable to do so.	2024-06-18 17:13:53 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	897afc9cf9	Reapply "Use `${HOME}` in generated static init.zsh script" This reverts commit `9a47fde0c8`.	2024-06-17 07:29:19 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	76164d6217	Allow zimfw.zsh to exist outside ZIM_HOME and change initialization so ZIM_HOME is required before sourcing the script.	2024-06-14 20:17:07 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	9a47fde0c8	Revert "Use `${HOME}` in generated static init.zsh script" This reverts commit `06f8bc71a3`. This breaks allowing a machine to have just one init.zsh script that can be sourced by different users.	2024-06-10 07:52:45 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	06f8bc71a3	Use `${HOME}` in generated static init.zsh script Fixes #509	2024-06-09 11:32:08 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	9dc4056c4e	chmod a+r init.zsh so all users can read it This better allows a global instalation of Zim that can be sourced by other users in the same machine. See #486	2024-06-03 08:51:20 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	96f60da366	Improve zimfw's degit error message Hopefully make it clearer when either the git or the degit tool is being used. See #535	2024-05-30 09:38:44 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	cdd9258d5c	Don't expose the zmodule function outside zimfw Don't want to maintain extra code to allow zmodule to run outside zimfw. This has no added benefit and might confuse users. If you were calling zmodule in the shell just to get the help message, hopefully you can look that up in the documentation instead.	2024-05-30 09:21:16 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	4fcc85b2db	Update README.md with ZIM_CONFIG_FILE instructions Also add git-info and duration-info modules to the basic templates for a better user experience.	2024-05-26 12:44:49 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	4200e6cdb3	v1.13.1	2024-04-28 14:07:41 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	c86223f473	Don't use tar --strip as it's not compatible with BSD distributions. Fixes #534	2024-04-28 14:06:24 -05:00

Eric Nielsen	2e9256a567	Add new mkdir tool to generate empty modules This will allow creating modules that contain only externally generated files. For example, this is how I currently use it to generate modules for code that is supposed to be eval'ed: zmodule-eval() { local -r zcommand=${${=1}[1]} ztarget=${1//[^[:alnum:]]/-}.zsh zmodule custom-${zcommand} --use mkdir --if-command ${zcommand} \ --cmd "if [[ ! {}/${ztarget} -nt \${commands[${zcommand}]} ]]; then ${1} >! {}/${ztarget}; zcompile -UR {}/${ztarget}; fi" \ --source ${ztarget} } zmodule-eval 'starship init zsh' unfunction zmodule-eval	2024-02-16 20:41:29 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	8bec2f7549	Add `--if-command` option to `zmodule`	2024-01-22 21:36:17 -05:00

Eric Nielsen	26151d2f54	Remove prompt expansion from print statements and replace the foreground color and bold expansions by ANSI escape codes. This should make the print calls now safe and no expansion at all should happen as we're using `-R` -- unless the `-e` flag is given. Fixes #521. Closes #522	2023-09-16 13:21:14 -05:00
Eric Nielsen	d33d632ec1	Use `--sort=-v:refname` in _zimfw_check_version to sort tags, instead of using Zsh's `(On)`. The tags will come sorted already.	2023-09-15 19:55:43 -05:00
