* Use anyhow for error handlingDaniel Mueller2020-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes our error handling approach from the ground up: instead of having a globally used Error enum that contains variants for all possible errors, we now use anyhow's Error type. This approach is more dynamic (and not statically typed), but it allows for more fine grained error messages and overall more user-friendly error reporting. Overall it also is a net simplification. While we have one dynamic cast now, in order to be able to handle erroneous password/PIN entries correctly, that is considered a reasonable compromise.
* Correctly use doc comments in macrosDaniel Mueller2020-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our custom macros for conveniently creating types with additional meta information for working with structopt do not actually use the doc comments we have in place -- these comments are solely for in-source documentation. We are an application and as such crates.io will not automatically generate documentation. All of that does not deter rustc from complaining that doc comments are unused. In the past we tried to fudge that by adding a special allowance, #[allow(unused_doc_comments)], but that seems to have seized to work. With this change we finally give in and move the doc comment into the macro itself, where it will be used to annotate the generated type. This step should hopefully silence rustc once and for all -- at the expense of a slight decrease in readability.
* Merge remaining bits of args.rs into main.rsDaniel Mueller2020-04-11
| | | | | | This change removes the args module by moving all remaining functionality in it into main.rs. The result is arguably a nice consolidation of all context related definitions in a single module.
* Factor out arg_defs.rs for argument parsing related typesDaniel Mueller2020-04-01
| | | | | | | | This change marks the first step in a restructuring of the argument handling code, the ultimate goal of which is a separation of the type definitions as used by structopt from the logic associated with it. This change in particular introduces a new module, arg_defs, that contains all those type definitions that previously resided in the args module.
* Do not declare internally used types as pubDaniel Mueller2020-01-08
| | | | | | | | With the recent patch set moving us to using structopt over argparse we introduced all new structs and enums representing subcommands and the like as public. That is unnecessary, as they are not accessed from the outside. This change adjusts the visibility accordingly.
* Handle doc comments and empty variants in the Command! macroRobin Krahl2020-01-08
| | | | | | | | This patch introduces two changes to the Command! macro: - We allow variants without fields so that we no longer have to define empty *Args structs just for the Command! macro. - We allow doc comments so that we can document commands without a separate *Args struct.
* Add all_str function to enums generated by Enum! macroRobin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | | | | To make it easier to list all possible values for a command-line option mapped to an enum, we add the all_str function to the Enum! macro that returns an array of the string representations of all variants. We also use this new function to simplify the generation of the error message in the FromStr implementation in Enum!.
* Remove str argument from Command! macroRobin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | | As we no longer have to implement the Display and AsRef traits for the enums generated with the Command! macro, we don’t have to set a string representation either. So we can drop this argument from the Command! macro.
* Remove unused code after structopt transitionRobin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | In the previous patches, we replaced argparse with structopt and removed the argparse dependency. This patch removes the code that was only needed for argparse.
* Replace argparse with structoptRobin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the argument handling code to use structopt instead of argparse using the data structures we introduced in the last patch. As part of that transition we replace the old Error::ArgparseError variant with ClapError that stores a structopt::clap::Error. Because of that replacement, the format of the help messages changed, breaking some of the tests. Hence, this change adapts them accordingly. Also clap currently prints the version output to stdout, so we ignore the version_option test case for now.
* Derive structopt::StructOpt in Command!Robin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | As a preparation for the structopt transition, we derive StructOpt for the enums generated by Command! so that they can be used as a subcommand.
* Implement Default in the Enum! and Command! macrosRobin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | | For the transition to structopt, we have to be able to easily construct enum variants once we have added fields to them. Therefore we implement the Default trait in the generated macros by choosing the first variant as the default.
* Allow adding fields to an enum variant in Command!Robin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | To be able to use the enums generated by Command! with structopt, we have to be able to add fields to them. This patch adds a new variant to the Command! macro that supports fields.
* Factor out Enum! and Command! macros in arg_utilRobin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | For easier refactoring, we remove the internal enum_int! macro and instead copy its code to the Enum! and Command! macros.
* Use strings instead of Command variantsRobin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | | | | In one of the next patches, we will add fields to some Command variants to be able to use them with structopt. Then we will no longer be able to instantiate them directly, so we replace these instances for the transition. This patch also removes the cmd_help! macro that is no longer needed.
* arg_util: Change Err type in FromStr implementationRobin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | structopt requires that FromStr::Err implements std::fmt::Display. Therefore we now return a String that contains a list of allowed values.
* Refactor the Enum! macro into Enum! and Command!Robin Krahl2020-01-07
| | | | | | For an easier transition to structopt, this patch splits the two cases of the Enum! macro into two separate macros (that internally both call the new enum_int! macro).
* Move nitrocli source code into repository rootDaniel Mueller2020-04-04
Now that all vendored dependencies have been removed, this change moves the program's source code from the nitrocli/ directory into the root of the repository.
