Xvc Devlog - 221107
๐ Welcome to November 7th issue of Xvc Devlog. In the previous devlog we began to implement Git integration. How does it going Mr Tortoise?
๐ข It looks we donโt have much architectural problems.
๐ Youโre forgetting how Exec::cmd works, though. You have that kind of problems.
๐ข Yeah, Iโm figuring that out. Exec::shell requires a string to run on the shell, Exec::cmd just needs a command name. You have to supply args with another function. Iโm writing to handle a closure now to handle this.
๐ข It began to work but revealed a much bigger problem. .xvc/ is not added to .gitignore in xvc init.
๐ Wow, thatโs a showstopper.
๐ข Yup. I think I should fix it as well.
๐ On a closer glance, I think the problem is not xvc init not modifying .gitignore, it modifies it incorrectly. Maybe putting certain files to whitelist is a better idea than trying to blacklist all.
๐ข Yeah, we should define a set of Git tracked files and directories, whitelist them and let all other files ignored.
๐ Go ahead, now.
๐ข I think Iโve fixed it. There were two problems. Initial gitignore content was wrong, and it was put into the root of repository instead of .xvc.
๐ Maybe putting it really into the root is better than to hide it in .xvc. WDYT?
๐ข There seems to be an assumption in file track to have a .gitignore file somewhere. I think we also should handle the changes in .gitignore files in the repository.
๐ Umm, yes. We should handle .gitignores as well. But not all .gitignores are changed by Xvc. How can we make sure that they are modified by Xvc?
๐ข I think there are ways to do that, like tracking them somewhere. But I believe we shouldnโt try. We should just a list of .gitignore files, git add them and include in the commit.
๐ Ok. Letโs write a test for this as well. No .gitignore in git status -s.
๐ข Wrote the test. It fails now. Do you think we should check output of Git status to determine the files to add?
๐ That may be a good idea. Git status should already know which files need to be added. We can use that information.
๐ข It looks pathspec is enough to modify git add behavior. We should be able to write *.gitignore and let all gitignore files be added.
๐ Letโs try this manually.
๐ข Yep, it works. git add '*.gitignore' adds all .gitignore files in the subdirectories, too.
๐ Congrats. ๐๐ฅณ
๐ข Iโm writing missing documentation for the crates. There are proc_macro not expanded errors all over the code.
๐ I think you should update rust-analyzer and stuff. There must be a command for this.
๐ข I reinstalled RA with :LspInstall and restarted LSP. It seems to work correctly now.
