@EliahKagan EliahKagan commented Oct 7, 2023

This changes the test helpers on Windows to use git --exec-path (with whatever git GitPython is using) to find the directory that contains git-daemon.exe, instead of finding git-daemon.exe in a PATH search.

Because it is only on Windows that the tests run git-daemon directly rather than using git daemon, this only affects Windows. Note that this does not affect Cygwin, which like other Unix-like systems uses git daemon for the tests.

This change has three benefits:

  • The documentation is shortened and simplified, because the part on how to get git-daemon working on Windows is removed.
  • The effort required to set up GitPython for testing is reduced because that no longer has to be done (but see below).
  • Users will not be tempted to put Git's libexec\git-core directory in their PATH. This directory contains a number of .dll files, which are there for the executables in the directory that use them. But Windows includes all PATH directories when searching for libraries as well as programs, which can create very strange and confusing problems where completely unrelated programs end up using them instead of the versions of the libraries they should use.

Note, however, what it does not cover:

  • The tests that use git-daemon are still skipped by default on Windows. These are exactly the tests that are skipped when HIDE_WINDOWS_FREEZE_ERRORS is set to True, which is the case by default on Windows. I temporarily changed its default value to False to test this PR. That change is deliberately not included in this PR and probably should not be made without further accompanying changes. (See this comment, but also the information below about how the tests usually fail, which is not by freezing.)

  • The mechanism to skip them remains to be fixed. The HIDE_WINDOWS_KNOWN_ERRORS and HIDE_WINDOWS_FREEZE_ERRORS variables are intended to be affected by the same-named environment variables, but this does not work properly. They are True by default, but the only way to use environment variables to set them to a false value is to define the environment variable with an empty value (since everything else, as a string, is truthy). In addition to being very unlikely to have been the intended behavior, this is also hard to do on Windows when using typical shells, because in both cmd.exe and PowerShell setting an environment variable as empty actually removes the variable altogether. Rather than attempting to fix that here, I tested by temporarily changing the default value instead of using an environment variable.

  • The tests that use git-daemon still usually fail on Windows. The failure mode is the same as when they are run with git-daemon.exe in a directory in PATH, however. That is, when git-daemon is not found it looks like this, while when it is found by a PATH search it looks like this, and the new way, finding it via git --exec-path, looks similar. Note how all errors of this form occur in the log with-no-git-daemon.txt:

    git.exc.GitCommandNotFound: Cmd('git-daemon') not found due to: FileNotFoundError('[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified')
    

    The files can be compared with diff or with this convenient diff tool. I would also be happy to produce diffs using a particular technique, on request. Those diffs were also produced before rebasing this to include the changes from #1693, since I had neglected by merge that on my Windows system before working on this, but I believe none of the changes there are able to affect this.

That is to say that this PR is very narrow in its scope of effects--it automates, and at least as reliably achieves, the desired effect of a setup step that had to be done manually before, but it doesn't address any of the other problems related to it.

One aspect of the way I did this change deserves special scrutiny; I've made a review comment about it.

This changes the test helpers on Windows to use "git --exec-path"
(with whatever "git" GitPython is using) to find the directory that
contains "git-daemon.exe", instead of finding it in a PATH search.

I'm uneasy about having the test suite call the nonpublic _call_process method to do this. I want it to use the same git as GitPython uses, including the effect of the GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE (as well as any future nuances that might ever arise) automatically, which Git().execute(["git", "--exec-path"]) would not do. If the command were git exec-path or git something --exec-path, then I think Git().exec_path() or Git.something(exec_path=True), respectively, could be used. But for a git command that has no subcommand and just passes an option, I don't know of a way to use GitPython's public interface to run it. It may be that I'm just missing something obvious here.

That's definitely a shortcoming in the Git class' API, it does always assume a sub-command. This also makes it impossible to set configuration overrides, for instance, so finding a solution for this will have immediate benefits, and it would definitely be welcome.

I think the main hard part of adding such functionality is figuring out a way to do it that wouldn't be a breaking change. Most ordinary public-style method names could clash with someone's custom git commands (such as scripts named like git-*), which GitPython is generally able to run and thus would begin to break after such a change. The most intuitive names for this, like invoke, would be especially likely to clash (I'm sure some people have a git-invoke script).

This also makes it impossible to set configuration overrides

Is this because only one -c can be passed by calling the Git instance with c=..., or for some other reason (or am I misunderstanding what you mean)? To use an example inspired by check-version.sh, and with g as a git.cmd.Git instance, I can cause -c versionsort.suffix=-pre to be passed, and in the correct position, with:

g(c="versionsort.suffix=-pre").tag(sort="-v:refname")

That runs git -c versionsort.suffix=-pre tag --sort=-v:refname as desired, with -c versionsort.suffix=-pre before the subcommand name and --sort=-v:refname following it.

However, I can't pass more than one -c that way, because a single call can't pass the same keyword argument multiple times, and the preceding arguments are discarded with multiple calls, i.e., these do the same thing:

g(c="versionsort.suffix=-pre")(c="versionsort.suffix=-RC").tag(sort="-v:refname")
g(c="versionsort.suffix=-RC").tag(sort="-v:refname")

But I'm not sure this is the problem you're thinking of, because a solution for passing -c arguments and their operands, or for passing arbitrary arguments before a subcommand, would not necessarily facilitate running git without a subcommand. Nor would a solution for running git without a subcommand necessarily allow a subcommand to be added in a user-friendly way supporting the keyword argument syntax for specifying the subcommand's own flags.

finding a solution for this will have immediate benefits

Can people just use _call_process?

For having GitPython run git with arbitrarily specified arguments, the nonpublic _call_process method does that. Does its behavior differ from the desired behavior for doing so?

If not, then that method could be made public simply by documenting it as public, which would avoid breaking any custom git commands, because (a) it wouldn't change the actual behavior of GitPython at all, and (b) GitPython already doesn't support custom git commands that start with _, and git itself doesn't support custom commands that start with - (since an attempt to invoke such a command would pass one or more options instead).

An example of where an attribute with a leading _ that is made public by documenting it as public, for the same reasons as we might want to do so here--that any other name might clash--is how types constructed with the collections.namedtuple factory have public _make, _asdict, _replace, _fields, and _field_defaults attributes. (In contrast, although the _thread module is public, this is not really an example of this, because it is not named that way for a similar reason.)

On the other hand, there may be some reasons not to make _call_process public by declaring it so. The interface for collections.namedtuple is simpler than for git.cmd.Git, and also more widely known about because it is part of the standard library, so deviations from common naming conventions may be more discoverable. Also, intuitively, even if _call_process were public, its name suggests that its use from outside GitPython's own code would be rarer than execute. But using a Git object to run a non-git command should be rare, so if _call_process is public then it should be used more often than execute.

Making a "submethod" to run git with literal arguments

One possibility, again where g is a Git instance, could be to allow g.execute.git(*args), accepting zero or more separate positional arguments in place of *args that GitPython would immediately run git with. I find this intuitive, and it could be achieved by making the execute method a custom descriptor that works like a bound method, except that it also causes g.execute.git to resolve to g._call_process, and Git.execute.git to resolve to Git._call_process (so it also works explicitly pass g to the unbound form, as methods are expected to support).

But the problem with this is that it is not obvious whether the "submethod" ought to continue being usable when a class that derives from Git overrides execute. Secondarily, I think having overrides turn into descriptors that also support .git would be complicated, and might go against assumptions people make about he effect of writing a subclass.

To be clear, the problem is not that overriding execute affects the behavior. That is already the case with _call_process and everything that uses it, and is probably the main reason for a subclass of Git to override execute. Rather, the question is whether MyGit().execute.git(*args) and MyGit().execute.git(my_g, *args) should work and, if so, whether the complexity to make it work is justified.

Other ways, which also don't seem ideal

Other possibilities include:

  • Naming the method a single underscore: g._(*args). This seems unintuitive.
  • Versioning the interface, so something has to be passed when a Git object is constructed to enable new methods.
  • Keeping the Git class the same but providing a derived class of Git that includes new methods.
  • Using a top-level function that receives the Git object as its first argument.
  • Using a top-level function that does not use the Git object.
  • Picking some name people probably are not using as a custom git command (but the more reliably they are not, the less intuitive the command is, probably).
  • Not adding a feature for this, but adding a convenient way to get the git command (relative or absolute path) that _call_process passes to execute, and noting how to use execute with it in execute's docstring, elsewhere in the documentation, or both.

A hack that shouldn't be used

By the way, it turns out there actually is a way I could have used the "public" interface to achieve the effect of g._call_process("--exec-path"). Because git accepts a -- after this option with no change in behavior, we can fool GitPython into thinking -- is the subcommand. Where again g is a Git instance:

>>> getattr(g(exec_path=True), "--")()
'C:/Users/ek/scoop/apps/git/2.42.0.2/mingw64/libexec/git-core'

That's interesting! I wasn't even aware this works. Also I don't know how this interacts with the maybe more typical usage of repo.git.subcommand(), or is something like repo.git(c="foo=bar").subcommand() possible?

Regarding the multi-issue, maybe it already works like this?

g(c=["versionsort.suffix=-pre", "other=baz"]).tag(sort="-v:refname")

To be clear, the problem is not that overriding execute affects the behavior. That is already the case with _call_process and everything that uses it, and is probably the main reason for a subclass of Git to override execute. Rather, the question is whether MyGit().execute.git(*args) and MyGit().execute.git(my_g, *args) should work and, if so, whether the complexity to make it work is justified.

Do you think it's common to subclass Git? I'd argue that this was never intended and I'd rather forbid it than think about it. And if it can't be prohibited officially, maybe it's possible to document it as "unsupported" which allows subclasses to break if they happen. Of course, that itself would be a breaking change, but I wonder anyone would notice.

Also, apologies in advance if what I say here doesn't make much sense or seems to ignore something you already mentioned - I am quite ignorant as to how Git (the class) is truly working and I really don't know what's best.

But simply making _call_process public officially seemed like the easiest while safe-enough way to go to me.

PS: >>> getattr(g(exec_path=True), "--")() is wonderfully creative :D.

g(c=["versionsort.suffix=-pre", "other=baz"]).tag(sort="-v:refname")

That does work! This treated both pre and RC1 as lower versions than their corresponding stable versions:

g(c=["versionsort.suffix=-pre", "versionsort.suffix=-RC"]).tag(sort="-v:refname")

It does also work with repo.git(...).subcommand(...):

>>> import logging
>>> logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
>>> import git
>>> git.Git.GIT_PYTHON_TRACE = True
>>> r = git.Repo("../Flood")
>>> r.git(c=["versionsort.suffix=-pre", "versionsort.suffix=-RC"]).tag(sort="-v:refname")
INFO:git.cmd:git -c versionsort.suffix=-pre -c versionsort.suffix=-RC tag --sort=-v:refname
'unletterspaced\nline-height\nletterspaced\nalpha-6\nalpha-5\nalpha-4\nalpha-3\nalpha-2\nalpha-1\nalpha-0'

(The repo I tested on doesn't have tags whose order is affected by versionsort, but the debugging output shows that both -c ... are passed and in the correct positions.)

Do you think it's common to subclass Git?

I'm not sure, but it may be possible to effectively search at least code on GitHub and elsewhere where rich code searching is implemented to figure it out. For a lot of stuff using popular projects like GitPython, I find such searching hard, because one gets lots of code in forks and vendored copies of the project. But if GitPython is never itself inheriting from Git or testing for that, it may be reasonably easy to find that sort of thing.

If I figure anything out about that, I'll let you know. I would intuitively expect to be able to inherit from it.

But simply making _call_process public officially seemed like the easiest while safe-enough way to go to me.

Yes. If that's acceptable, then I think it should be strongly considered before doing anything more complicated that also expands the GitPython public interface. A further argument for preferring this to other approaches is that it is already referenced in some public methods' docstrings.

PS: >>> getattr(g(exec_path=True), "--")() is wonderfully creative :D.

:) I guess there's an interesting question about whether the -- "attribute" of Git instances should be considered public on the grounds that its name does not start with an underscore. 😺

Actually, I had meant to be joking, just then, but it checks out:

ek@Kip:~$ cat x.py
globals()["--"] = "Hello, world!"
ek@Kip:~$ python3.11 -c 'from x import *; print(globals()["--"])'
Hello, world!
ek@Kip:~$ cat y.py
globals()["_--"] = "Hello, world!"
ek@Kip:~$ python3.11 -c 'from y import *; print(globals()["_--"])'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: '_--'

I am definitely happy to make this a non-feature, or at least document that subclass behaviour might change unannounced.

Thanks so much for your help! Despite a small improvement, it's much appreciated and I see how it will help to get the tests on windows to work.

Since gitoxide also has tests that rely on git daemon to run which work on Windows, I'd believe that getting these to work should generally possible.

Regarding the implementation of Windows- and test-specific environment variables, I hope their implementation can be adjusted to be usable on Windows as well.

Thanks for everything.

Regarding the implementation of Windows- and test-specific environment variables, I hope their implementation can be adjusted to be usable on Windows as well.

I've described this in #1698 and proposed a fix as part of #1700.

(In the longer term, I hope these can be eliminated or at least moved, along with all associated test-specific logic, out of the git module, either of which would solve #790.)

This removes the Windows-specific information in the warning
message in git_daemon_launched.

After the associated functionality was updated in gitpython-developers#1684 and the
warning message was abridged accordingly, the functionality was
updated again in gitpython-developers#1697, causing the message to be outdated and no
longer helpeful (since having git-daemon.exe in a PATH directory is
no longer necessary or useful), without any corresponding change to
the message.
