[RFC][PATCH] Try calling command with help flags in run-help

[RFC][PATCH] Try calling command with help flags in run-help

[Marlon Richert]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 139 bytes --]

When there isn't a man page, try calling the command with --help or -h.
Additionally, be a bit smarter about showing function source code.

This is not a good idea, because we can't predict what will happen if
a given command does not support those options, or interprets them
differently.

run-help:115: parse error near `]'

Typo?
+                shift -p (( $#cmd_args + 1 - cmd_args[(i)(-|--|;)] )) cmd_args

This change also breaks the run-help-ssh example in the documentation,
and does so in a way I think it's impossible to fix.

Stupid example, but:

% ssh -- localhost date

Without the patch, run-help displays help for the "date" command.
With it, help for "ssh".

It would not surprise me to find that attempting to generically parse
arguments in run-help would also break helpers for commands like "su"
and "sudo",  some commands that have git-style sub-commands, or .

A keyboard shortcut or something sent that in the middle of an edit.
Should read:

and "sudo",  or some commands that have git-style sub-commands.

Apparently. But I've removed that line now in the new version of the
patch (attached).

That's weird. For me, it gets help for 'ssh', both before and after
the patch (on commit bd328a2).

I tried it, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

My patch actually fixes an annoying case with 'run-help git'. Try
pressing ^[h on, for example, 'git -C /path/to/zsh log'. Without my
patch, it gives

% run-help git
git is /usr/bin/git
error: invalid key: alias.-C
No manual entry for git--C

With my patch, it correctly displays help for 'git log'.

Anyway, here's a new version of my patch. Let me know what you think.

Same for me, on the 5.8 release.

This already works correctly for me on the 5.8 release, but I don't
have any zsh or git aliases configured.

The run-help-ssh function isn't actually in the distribution anywhere
except as an example in the doc.  You have to copy-paste it into your
shell before attempting run-help.

Oops, I missed that you're talking about run-help-X, which I didn't
know about.  Carry on!

As mentioned elsewhere, you do have to manually load run-help-ssh into
your test shell, it is not an autoloadable file.

This works for me, with or without your patch, using the git
completion in the current repository head.  Are you sure you're
loading functions from the right path?

I don't see any obvious problems with it but I don't know how to
construct a test case for any of the helpers you've edited.  It would
be nice to know that this does not break the un-edited versions of
those helpers, because if those changes are required rather than just
redundant code removal, other helpers in the wild would also require
editing.

New patch here with test cases, plus a rewrite of run-help-git. All the
tests succeed for both the new and old versions of the run-help-* functions
(except for the old run-help-git, because the new run-help-git uses `git
help` instead of `man`).

Finally looked a little more closely at this.

I don't think we can allow it to unconditionally run
  autoload +X -Uz $func
because for example it's always possible that $func should be
autoloaded with -k instead.  Further, even if we grab the correct
autoload flags, it's possible that loading the function will have some
side-effects, or that loading it with +X will omit some necessary
side-effects.

Also, if the function was loaded from a zcompile file, displaying
$functions_source[$func] with the pager will either fail or be a mess.

There's also the minor point that if the function came from a file
containing multiple other functions, you get way more than you asked
for.

Nothing obviously wrong with the code patch, but one of the test cases
fails for me:

Looks like I somehow managed to omit some lines from the tests in the
patch. Here's a new patch, differing only in the `run-help git` tests:
