Recent versions of Windows support Unix Domain Sockets natively, see
<https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/af_unix-comes-to-windows/>.
By using that feature instead of Windows named pipes, the difference
for handling communication via the control socket comparing Unix-like
systems and Windows becomes smaller:
1. No special paths like `\.\pipe\…` have to be handled.
2. Not two I/O mechanisms are abstracted (named pipe and UDS) but
just one.
3. `winpipe` relies on background threads while `uds_windows` does
not.
Once the feature `windows_unix_domain_sockets` (which is tracked at
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/150487) stabilizes, it will
likely be possible to just drop the dependency `uds_windows` and use
the implementation in `std::os::windows::net` directly.
Git for Windows horribly mangles the configured binaries through a POSIX
`sh`-like environment even on Windows. We might be able to figure out
which `sh.exe` we would have to execute on Windows, but this is too
brittle. Windows users will have to use other mechanisms (like `$EDITOR`
and `$PAGER`) to configure their programs.
Fixes test `profile::test::canonicalize_home`.
Since `Home::new` canonicalizes its argument (which is what the test
wants to ensure), also canonicalize the expected value, which is
especially important on Windows as the canonicalization is more
complex than on Linux.
For example:
thread 'profile::test::canonicalize_home' panicked at crates\radicle\src\profile.rs:802:9:
assertion `left == right` failed
left: "C:\\Users\\runneradmin\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\.tmpMnNkr6\\Home\\Radicle"
right: "C:\\Users\\RUNNER~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\.tmpMnNkr6\\Home\\Radicle"
A refactoring internal to the `radicle` crate, with the goal of
making dependency on `git2` clearer and more controlled.
`radicle::raw` is changed from a complete re-export of `git2`
to a module that selectively re-exports (many) members of `git2`.
required to build the workspace (potentially breaking dependents
outside the workspace, but given just how many types are
re-exported, this seems unlikely).
In the future, no more `use git2::…` statements should be added
outside of `crates/radicle/src/git/raw.rs`. This is in an effort to
decrease dependence on `git2` in the future.
When run with a secret and public key that do not cryptographically
match, `fn radicle_cli::terminal::io::signer` would prompt the user
for a password to unlock the secret key, and then carry on with a
mismatching key pair.
Fix this by verifying that the keys match in `MemorySigner::load`
and only swallow errors initializing the signer in cases where
prompting for a password makes sense. It does not make sense in the
case of mismatched keys.
The `winpipe` crate which is our current best bet for support on Windows
requires that named pipes are at the magical location `\\.pipe\`.
Provide a default on Windows that matches this, and use our freshly
assigned IANA service name for it.
This is a breaking change, as we remove a `pub const`, it should be
reasonably easy to fix by dependents, and probably it was a mistake to
make the default `pub const` as dependents should call `Home::socket`
anyway.
Microsoft Windows has Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths, see
<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats#unc-paths>
The Rust standard library normalizes paths to this form when calling
`std::fs::canonicalize`, see
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.canonicalize.html>
However, some programs, do not parse these paths correctly, including
our ally `git`:
$ git clone \\?\C:\Users\lorenz\tmp
Cloning into 'tmp'...
ssh: Could not resolve hostname \\\\?\\c: No such host is known.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
The `dunce` crate solves the problem of having to deal with
normalization and avoiding weird UNC paths for us. Note that on
non-Windows platforms, it *behaves exactly like*
`std::fs::canonicalize`!
To avoid that users on Windows have to explcitly set `HOME`, also accept
`USERPROFILE` which is considered equivalent.
To avoid repeating to join `.radicle`, split the logic up into two
phases. Also take care to provide a good error message, as this error is
fatal and user-facing.
