dcli

• second atttempt at a 1.18 release

• Fixed a bug in withTempDir in dcli_core. If the action was async withTempDir wouldn't wait for the action to complete.

• improved the doco formatting for createTempDir.

• updated the dcli_crore dependency

• fixed createTempDir as it assumed that /tmp always exists which isn't the case in a docker container.

• BREAKING: moved sdk to a minimum of 2.16 to fix long outstanding issue with curtailed stack traces when throwing through waitForEx.
• BREAKING: moved chmod and chown to posix package.
• added method to run dart doc to the DartSdk.
• the unit test setup now runs pub get on dcli.
• fixed a dependency in the compile test.
• Added extended details to command line help messages. Improved pack error messages.
• moved from di_zone2 to scoped package.
• setup dcli up as a multi package project for pub_release.

• attempted fix so that fetchsdk works on mac arm.
• improved the pack command error messages when the resouce and/or pack.yaml files don't exist. Fixed a bug where the pack command wouldn't run if there were only external resources to pack and the resource directory didn't exist.
• added extended description option for when user gets details command help.
• moved from di_zone2 to scope.
• Removed Env.mock as we are now using Scopes.
• Added verbose statement to calculateHash
• Improved doco on FileSync
• Added versbose statement to calculateHash
• Tweaked the menu defaultOption error when it can't find a match to call toString on the default option.
• moved chmod and chown libraries into posix directory.

• Cleaned up the logic around how we get the DartSdk version. DartSdk().version no longer returns null but will throw a DCliException if it can parse the dart sdk version - which should never happen.

• rewrite of the dcli create command. Now supports creating scripts and projects from a templates.
• added dcli create --list switch to list available templates.
• fixed all unit tests.

• Add test to the resource unpack command to throw if the target exists but isn't a file.
• Change the isXX set of functions to call the posix stat function rather than spawning the stat command. If the posix call fails we fall back to spawning stat.
• improved the doco on DartProject and DartScript.
• Removed win32 from the windows barrel file as it polluted the api documenation. Formatting improvements to the windows registry.dart
• Created a separate barrel file for docker.
• Fixed a bug when packing resources. If the pack wasn't done from the package root the resources would end up under the current directory.
• Fixed the basic tempate.

• simplified the basic template.
• add workingDirectory support to toParagraph and toList
• improved dcli tab completion for the compile command by only showing files that end in .dart.
• Improved the stacktrack logging when using waitForEx. If verbose is on we now log a fully merged stack trace.
• Added a tool to make it easy to launch a script in profile mode.
• Fixed a memory consumption problem caused by find.forEach not pausing the stream.
• Made the bytesAsReadable static method of Format into a instance method for consistency.
• Cleaned up the top level directory post dcli_core merge.
• Implemented LimitStreamController to stop the find command causing us to rum out of memory.
• restructured templates to be in a separate package and now use dcli pack to ship them.
• modified activate_local so you can run it from within the project.
• experiements in incremental compilation. Unfortunately you can only incrementally compile to a dill.
• BREAKING: chmod now calls the posix chmod if posix is available. Change the order of the chmod args and made permission a named argument to match chown args.
• renamed the resources directory to resource and the templates directory to template in keeping with the dart directory naming conventions.

Fixed dependency issue with csv library.

• upgraded to dcli_core 0.0.3
• Fix: large memory consumption when using find. Now expect the controller not just the sink so we can pase the source.
• Made the 'is' methods synchronous based on lint advice.
• Fixed for the tail command deadlocking on the stream.
• improved isGloballyActivated by checking the global list rather than just relying on the presence of the exe which could have been deleted but the package is still considered active.
• Moved the package activation related methods into PubCache
• Merge pull request #179 from AdnanAlshami/master

• Added firstLine to FindProgress for backward compatiblity with the original Progress.

• Added windows specific shells to windows.dart barrel file.
• Move posix specific methods into separate barrel file posix.dart so that users are concious of the fact they are using a posix specific method.

• Fixed: #178 when creating a project with a script that contains a path we were doubling up the path name.
• documented each of the PackedResource fields.
• re-ordered the fields in the generated packed resource libraries so that the checksum and the resourcepath are at the top and therefor easier to find.

• Fix: #172 Changed the doco on warmup to indicate that it does a pub get. For the moment I've left the warmup command intact but will consider removing it.
• Fix: #178 when creating a script which include a directory in the path. If the path didn't exist an exception would be thrown. We now test if the dir exists and print an appropriate error.
• Added a file checksum and original path to the PackedResource. The checksum allows the user to easily determine of the unpacked resource needs to be updated. Added the name of the original resource to the packed resource to make it easy to identify the origin of the packed resource.
• Fixed the signature on the DigestHelper.hexEncode method as we do not need to pass a byte list as the Digets already has it.
• reduced generated line to < 80 chars.

• FIX: #173 move wasn't passing the overwrite flag down.

• Fixes: 171 CastError running dcli doctor

Dispite the version no. this is a major update to dcli.

Whilst there are few changes to the dcli api this is the first version that relies on dcli_core.

DCli Core is a new library that now holds asynchronous version of many of the functions exposed by DCli as synchrouns functions.

The original premise behind dcli was that the api should be fully synchronous to avoid developers having to deal with futures and awaits which in CLI apps offered little advantage and lots of pain.

A number of user however have asked for async version of some of the functions we expose hence the creation of DCli Core.

DCli Core is fully async and does not use waitFor. This means that it can be used in any dart project that supports dart:io.

This means that you can now use DCli Core in a flutter app.

As flutter web doesn't support dart:io you can't use DCli core in a flutter web app.

This version of DCli includes a very early version of DCli core so some caution is advised.

As result of work done to create DCli Core we have achived significant performance improvements with the find function which previously was unable to scan a full disk without running out of ram. This is no longer an issue.

• Added in shell detection for a fake docker shell to handle when we are running as proc 1 in docker and no shell actually exists. The DockerShell provides sensible defaults.
• Moved to using the stacktrace_impl package.
• FIXED: the unknownShell was not calling the action on withPrivileges. It can do anything about the priviliges but there is no reason to not call the action. This issue came up within docker that calls the exe without a shell.
• Added support for an escape character '^' in command lines as well as bringing the treament of quotes in line with how bash treats quotes that appear in a word. --name="fred" is now parsed as a single word rather than three separate words.
• Documented TailProgress methods.
• Documented FetchProgress members.
• experiment changing which to use a Stream rather than a callback.
• Given we require at least one option to be passed, change the menu function to return the first option (when no terminal attached) and no defaultOption provided rather than throwing an ArgumentError as in most cases the first option is probably the most common one to be selected.
• exposed win32.dart from windows.dart
• Change to directly altering the Windows registry for the dart file association for dcli rather than using ftype and assoc.
• Added regKeyExists and regKeyCreate to registry.dart.
• Added the ability for the fetch command to 'post' data using a FetchData object to descrirbe the data to be sent.
• Fixed bug where a no. of registry methods were failing to pass down the accessRights. Added 'defaultRegistryKey' to facilitate adding values to the (Default) valueName. Added method to set a value using REG_NONE.
• Documented the fetch headers.
• Added support for sending headers to fetch.

• FIXED: stopped indentifyShell looping endlessly on docker when no shell is in the process tree.

• Fixed a bug when running under docker with no shell. loggedInUser was returning null. We now return 'root'. Hopefull this doesn't cause problems in other scenarios. If it does I think we can just add more shell types for specific scenarios.

• upgraded posix 2.2.1 for a bug fix.
• Added option to withPriviliged to allow it to be called even when we aren't priviliged. This is to allow apps that can run with and without priviliges to run without complicated code paths.
• Added progress messages to pack command.

• upgaded to posix 2.2.0
• started using the posix getppid to get the parent pid so we less reliant on the 'ps' command being installed.

• Added the ability for dcli to 'pack' resource files into an application.
• Fixed waitForEx exception handling. It wasn't letting non DCliExceptions through.
• Fixed a bug where find was following symlinks.

• Fixed the command line parsing to retrain nested quotes. We had stripped out all quotes but it turns out that a bash retains nested quotes so we need to as well.
• Fixed a bug in the copy command when copying symlinks. It was copying the symlink when it should have been copying the file that the symlink pointed to. This is in keeping with the gnu 'cp' command.
• Fetch - added specific tests for host not found under linux as the error is different to windows.
• Added method to DartScript inUnitTest wich can be used to detect if a dart script is being run within a unit test.
• Added logic to StackTraceImpl to pick up the source type of the frame (package or file based). This help fixed the isUnitTest method and allows us to get the correct script path when running in a unit test.
• Fixed critical test hook paths.
• Added default exclusion of sudo test for critical_test.
• Moved the logic for whether the test was compiled from the setup method into the isPrivilged test as it was shutting down the entire testsuite even when the sudo tests where excluded.

• Implemented support for escaping in command lines as well as support for command words that contain quotes. Previously we separated out the quoted section into a separate word which doesn't match what bash does. --arg="quote me" is no treated as a single word.
• Fixed file_sync unit test to work on windows. the \r\n on windows caused a different file size to be returned.
• added asList method to stack_list.

• Fetch now throws a FetchException if a HTTP error occurs. Previously it would complete normally. Even if an error occurs we try to download the body as many http errors also provide a body.
• Fixed a bug in isLink as it was resolving the link and checking if the resolved path was a symlink rather than the passed path.
• Fixed a bug where the copy command would fail if we tried to copy a symlink. We now check for a symlink and create a new symlink rather than trying to copy it.
• Added unit tests for the collection of symlink functions.
• Fixed problems with copying and deleting symlinks. Logic was manipulating the target file rather than the actual symlink.
• Fixes to a number of unit test
• Improved Format.limitString and added unit tests.
• Corrected documentation for the run method.
• Added additional unit tests for the isXXX collection of functions.
• Improved formating of comments that include a 'See:' section.
• removed pedantic as we have moved to lints.
• removed the need for exceptions derived from DCliExceptions to overload copyFrom. waitForEx can now repair the stacktrace without using copyFrom.

• Added additional verbose statements to findPrimaryVersion.
• exposed the verbose function so dcli users can use the same logging mechanism as dcli.

• fixed a bug in DartScript().self.scriptName. ScriptName which wasn't being initialised.

• Add method ProcessHelper().getProcessesByName

• Improvements to the Fetch command progress options.
• Work on getting DartScript to return the correct paths for each mode
• that the script can exist in (local, compiled, pub global).

• upgraded to dart 2.14

There are a number of minor breaking changes would should not affect most users.

• Added new byte level read/write methods to FileSync

• Changed Remote to have a factory Constructor and each method from a static to an instance method.

• Changed Recase to have a factory Constructor and each method from a static to an instance method.

• Changed EnumHelper to have a factory Constructor and each method from a static to an instance method.

• Changed StdLog to have a factory Constructor and each method from a static to an instance method.*

• Change the Format methods from static to instance and added a factory constructor to Format.

• Added extension to Platform Platform.eol

• Replaced \n with Platform().eol so that the line terminators for append and write are now platform specific. Fixes:

• ask(hidden: true) wasn't working on windows as windows generates 13 rather than 10 when the enter key is used. Also we have to set the lineMode to true before echoMode on windows.

• Spelling of milliseconds as millseconds on the sleep command thanks to whoizit

• Fixed the replace test to work correctly with windows line delimiters.
• corrected version no.
• Added method isProcessRunning to the ProcessHelper class.
• Fixed typo in doco - thanks to @whoizit .
• Fixed a bug in DartSdk.globalActivate - it was ignoring the passed package and always installing dcli :)

• Added verbose statement to DartScript.

• Changed findPrimaryVersion to run null if package doesn't exist in pub-cache. This makes error handling easier than when an exception was being throw. We previously through a StateError and this wasn't really an error. minor doco changes.
• Added working directory to runexception to aid the user in diagnosing the cause of the run failure.

• improved the messaging when dcli isn't on the path. improved colour coding of installer.
• Added toParagraph method to the progress. Returns the output as a single string joined by the platform specific line delimitier.

• organised imports.
• Added method to find the primary version of a package installed into pubcache.
• Added skip when not running on windows for the windows process helper tests.
• Change the code which loads a list of processes to use windows api calls rather than spawning tasklist. There is a slight regression in that we can't get the memory used but I think thats not a feature that people will be using as yet.
• method to allocate/free memory for ffi calls.
• Released 1.6.0.
• Fixed the isCompiled method so it also works on windows.
• reimplemented isPrivilegedUser with ffi calls.

• Fixed a bug in the call to chmod during the dart sdk install from archives.

• Fixed a a path that we use to look for dart during installation.
• Removed use of ansi chars to show dart sdk progress as having problems in a docker container. Now just print a '.' each time data arrives.

• Added code to catch error if we attempt to read the cursorPosition if stdin is closed.

• Changed the installer so it no longer uses apt to install dart as the apt package is always stale. Now always install from the dart archives.
• Also fixed a bug where the installer failed to install dart as it incorrected thought that dart was installed.

• Added back in the global activation of dcli as we have removed the sudo requirement which means that https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/46255 no longer applies.
• Added documenation on using chmod. Added Windodws support by making the call a noop.
• Changed DartProject.isReadyToRun to use DartSdk.isPubGetRequired as this does a more complete check.

FIXES:

• Fixed a bug in the namedLock class. If a lot of threads where trying to get a hard lock then then thread with the lock couldn't get a hard lock to release it. Threads without a lock now check for a valid file lock before trying to get a hard lock. Fixed lock tests so they now work every time.
• unit tests for project_create_test.dart now work correctly.
• Fixed the ask test. The message now is wrapped in ansi red encoding which is why it started failed.
• NamedLock - Fixed a bug with the wait loop for taking a hard lock that was waiting 30secs * 30secs rather than just 30 secs. suppressed lint.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Added verbose statement when exception is thrown in named lock.
• Changed logging to directly use verbose to improve performance.
• removed an verbose logger in the progress as it was generating execessive logs.
• added detached and terminal options to DartSDK.run method.
• Added details on Pub Cache to doctor and some general formatting cleanup.
• removed refernces to the dcli cache as its no longer used.
• Improved the code the checks that a package name conforms to a dart indentifier.
• critical_tests setup hook now exists with a non-zero exit code if not running as a privilged user under windows.
• removed the isPriviliged requirement unless we are running on windows.
• Added method runPubGet to the DartScript class. Fixed the run_test.dart unit test which failed to run pub get after creating the script.
• added calls to pub get for each of the test packages to ensure they are ready to run
• Added method to check if pub get needs to be run DartScript.isPubGetRequired
• Added logic to critical_test startup prehook to run pub get on all test packages.
• NamedLock - Moved from a raw socket to a tcp socket and change the port no. to a value below 10000 (9003) as this is what is requierd to work on Windows.
• Added logic to remove empty strings from the PATH which can occur if the path contains two adjacent delimiters;
