Previous generate-upgrade required renames in rel/ directory:
rebar generate
...changing code...
mv rel/<release> rel/<release_prev>
rebar generate
rebar generate-upgrade previous_release=<release_prev>
With the proposed changes you can now do the same without moving things:
rebar generate # default target dir: rel/<release>
...changing code...
rebar generate target_dir=<release_new>
rebar generate-upgrade target_dir=<release_new> previous_release=<release>
rebar used to mistakenly report plain version strings like
{vsn, "1.0.0"} as follows:
DEBUG: vcs_vsn: Unknown VCS atom in vsn field: "1.0.0"
Properly detect unknown/unsupported version terms and abort
if we encounter one.
While at it, rename a variable in vcs_vsn/3 to be non-misleading.
Rebar, when it encounters a lib_dir directive, caches the current code
path, adds the libdir(s) and returns the cached copy of the path. When
rebar has finished processing that directory, it restores the cached
path. This is problematic in the below scenario:
/(lib_dir)->G
A -> B -> C -> D -> E
\-> F -> D -> E
When rebar is finished processing B, it restores the code path to what
it was before it processed B, removing C, D, E and G from the code path.
This means when it comes to process F, neither D or E are in the code
path, so any header includes, rebar plugins or parse transforms will not
be in the code path. Without the lib_dir directive, rebar does no code
path cleanups, so everything works fine.
This change makes rebar only remove the explicit lib_dir code paths it
added and adds an inttest that replicates the above scenario.
Sometimes tags like 1.1-3-g3af5478 or d20b53f0 are encountered. The
first is the output of 'git describe', and the second is just a regular
git SHA. git fetch --tags will not pull these down, so do a full git
fetch instead.
Because rebar_core handles skipping apps, we had to specialcase the
handling in the case of update-deps because it has to do its own dep
handling. The way this was done is not particularly clean, but there
currently does not exist another way for a command to signal rebar_core
that it doesn't want rebar_core to pay attention to skip_apps.
With this change, however, you can update-deps even with local
conflicting changes/commits by simply skipping the deps you don't wish
to update, or whitelisting he ones you do wish to update.
Previously, update-deps on a dep tagged as {branch, ...} would do the
following:
git fetch
git checkout -q origin/<branch>
If you were already on that branch, the repo would end up in detached
head state. This is kind of annoying if you're doing local development.
This patch changes the behaviour to be
git fetch
git checkout -q <branch>
git pull --ff-only --no-rebase -q <branch>
The intent of this is to move the branch's HEAD forward to match
upstream without destroying any local commits or changes, and without
accidentally causing merges or rebases. It will fail if the operation
can not be performed without losing history, merging or rebasing.
The previous behaviour has been around a very long time:
064195dc5a (L0R308)
It also exactly mirrors the download_source case, which is not really
true. With git tags and SHAs, one can assume that they don't change, but
branches move all the time.
The order in which modules, within an application, are loaded can be
important. This patch adds allows the specification of module
dependencies such that generate .appup/.relup scripts will load a
module's dependent modules before itself.
To use:
in rebar.config, add a module_deps
{module_deps, [{ModuleName, [DependentModuleName, ...]}]}.
ModuleName is the name of any module, followed by a list of module
names that it depends on.
The call to the grep program in rebar_ct:check_log/3 used single
quotation marks around the strings grep should search for. This works
well in most cases but fails on Windows 7 using GNU grep 2.5.4 as
installed by the Chocolatey package GnuWin 0.6.3.1 with the follow
message:
ERROR: cmd /q /c grep -e 'TEST COMPLETE' -e '{error,make_failed}'
ct/raw.log
failed with error: 2 and output:
grep: COMPLETE': No such file or directory
This commit changes the single quotation marks to double quotation
marks. I've tested this using GNU grep 2.5.3 on a Debian Linux machine
and it works well.
This ensures that deps of deps are updated AFTER the dep listing them
is, so that a complicated project with many layers of deps will be
updated correctly. Any new deps encountered along the way are also
cloned, and THEIR deps are also evaluated.
Also added was conflict detection, if a dep has differing versions or
source information, inherited from different places, that will be logged
at the end of update-deps, along with the origin of each conflicting
dep.
