Line encoding issues can plague repos with dirty worktree prompts
updating packages or "Local variables entry is missing the suffix"
errors when installing them.
elisp lacks an execv implementation (or mature subprocess library), so
we exploit some splenderiffic hackery to get Emacs to execute arbitrary
shell commands after a 'doom ...' command completes. This allows us to
daisy chain doom commands in distinct sessions (wonderful for reloading
doom after a 'doom upgrade', which we do). This minimizes errors when a
'doom upgrade' pulls in breaking changes to Doom's CLI.
We also bring 'doom run' into elisp, since this new functionality
enables us to.
We no longer need two separate autoloads files, so I merged them and
optimized its generation logic.
Other changes
- Doom will refuse to start up (with a helpful error) if it's in an
incomplete state. This should hopefully reduce the number of bug
reports from folks that have done something weird, e.g.
1. You've changed Emacs versions without running 'doom sync -b'.
2. You've updated Doom outside of `doom upgrade` and didn't run `doom
sync -u`.
3. You've forgotten to run 'doom sync' in the first place!
4. If a previous 'doom ...' command was aborted midway without running
'doom sync' afterwards.
- 'doom sync' will emit reminders that you need to reload/restart Emacs
- Autoloads API now uses the `doom-autoloads-` prefix, intead of
'doom-cli-autoloads-', as will be the new convention in the coming
rewrite.
- Errors from within the package autoloads should be easier to invoke
the debugger on.
- `doom-modules` is now stored in your autoloads file. Your module list
will soon be frozen between calls to 'doom sync' to allow for our new,
atomic CLI I'm working on. This will also means the `doom!` block
won't cost anything in interactive sessions.
`format` isn't an appropriate for this library, considering it (and
future additions to it) will be mainly concerned with printing or
capturing output.
The rewrite for Doom's CLI is taking a while, so I've backported a few
important changes in order to ease the transition and fix a couple bugs
sooner.
Fixes#2802, #2737, #2386
The big highlights are:
- Fix#2802: We now update recipe repos *before* updating/installing any
new packages. No more "Could not find package X in recipe repositories".
- Fix#2737: An edge case where straight couldn't reach a pinned
commit (particularly with agda).
- Doom is now smarter about what option it recommends when straight
prompts you to make a choice.
- Introduces a new init path for Doom. The old way:
- Launch in "minimal" CLI mode in non-interactive sessions
- Launch a "full" interactive mode otherwise.
The new way
- Launch in "minimal" CLI mode *only* for bin/doom
- Launch is a simple mode for non-interactive sessions that still need
access to your interactive config (like async org export/babel).
- Launch a "full" interactive mode otherwise.
This should fix compatibility issues with plugins that use the
async.el library or spawn child Emacs processes to fake
parallelization (like org's async export and babel functionality).
- Your private init.el is now loaded more reliably when running any
bin/doom command. This gives you an opportunity to configure its
settings.
- Added doom-first-{input,buffer,file}-hook hooks, which we use to queue
deferred activation of a number of packages. Users can remove these
modes from these hooks; altogether preventing them from loading,
rather than waiting for them to load to then disable them,
e.g. (after! smartparens (smartparens-global-mode -1)) -> (remove-hook
'doom-first-buffer #'smartparens-global-mode)
Hooks added to doom-first-*-hook variables will be removed once they
run.
This should also indirectly fix#2386, by preventing interactive modes
from running in non-interactive session.
- Added `doom/bump-*` commands to make bumping modules and packages
easier, and `doom/bumpify-*` commands for converting package!
statements into user/repo@sha1hash format for bump commits.
- straight.el is now commit-pinned, like all other packages. We also
more reliably install straight.el by cloning it ourselves, rather than
relying on its bootstrap.el.
This should prevent infinite "straight has diverged from master"
prompts whenever we change branches (though, you might have to put up
with it one more after this update -- see #2937 for workaround).
All the other minor changes:
- Moved core/autoload/cli.el to core/autoload/process.el
- The package manager will log attempts to check out pinned commits
- If package state is incomplete while rebuilding packages, emit a
simpler error message instead of an obscure one!
- Added -u switch to 'doom sync' to make it run 'doom update' afterwards
- Added -p switch to 'doom sync' to make it run 'doom purge' afterwards
- Replace doom-modules function with doom-modules-list
- The `with-plist!` macro was removed, since `cl-destructuring-bind`
already serves that purpose well enough.
- core/autoload/packages.el was moved into core-packages.el
- bin/doom will no longer die if DOOMDIR or DOOMLOCALDIR don't have a
trailing slash
- Introduces doom-debug-variables; a list of variables to toggle on
doom/toggle-debug-mode.
- The sandbox has been updated to reflect the above changes, also:
1. Child instances will no longer inherit the process environment of
the host instance,
2. It will no longer produce an auto-save-list directory in ~/.emacs.d
Byte-code is not generally compatible across major releases of Emacs,
and packages may have changed in that time. Best throw a more helpful
error than leave users to deal with the obscure errors that this can
cause.
refresh isn't going anywhere, but sync will be the canonical command
here on out, because it is more appropriate for kind of work it will be
doing in the future.
