| | Modules 5.2.0 (2022-11-08) |
| | ========================== |
| | |
| | * Introduce the "--optional" option on "prereq", "prereq-all", |
| | "depends-on" and "always-load" modulefile commands. Expressed |
| | optional dependency is considered satisfied even if modulefile is |
| | not loaded. If optional requirement is loaded afterward, dependent |
| | module is automatically reloaded, unless if the "auto_handling" |
| | configuration option is disabled. |
| | |
| | * A dependency expressed in modulefile with "module try-load" command |
| | is considered optional. Dependent module is automatically reloaded |
| | if the optional requirement is loaded afterward, unless if the |
| | "auto_handling" configuration option is disabled. |
| | |
| | * Raise error in case of unknown or misplaced option set on "prereq", |
| | "prereq-all", "depends-on" or "always-load" modulefile commands. |
| | |
| | * Add the "--timer" command-line switch to report the total execution |
| | time of the **module** command. Also report the execution time of |
| | every internal procedure calls when mixed with "--debug" option. |
| | |
| | * Init: move "PATH" setup (to locate Modules' binaries location) from |
| | shell initialization scripts to the "autoinit" sub-command. (fix |
| | issue #462) |
| | |
| | * Init: move "MANPATH" setup (to locate Modules' man-pages) from shell |
| | initialization scripts to the "autoinit" sub-command. (fix issue |
| | #462) |
| | |
| | * Init: move shell completion setup from shell initialization scripts |
| | to the "autoinit" sub-command. (fix issue #462) |
| | |
| | * Enclose installation path references in shell code produced by |
| | "autoinit", in initialization scripts and Makefiles to guaranty |
| | correct evaluation in case these paths contain a space character. |
| | Note that the quarantine mechanism is not compatible with such |
| | installation paths. |
| | |
| | * Fix "source-sh" and "sh-to-mod" when used with *fish* shell script |
| | if "regex-easyesc" fish option is enabled. (fix issue #463) |
| | |
| | * Add the "protected_envvars" configuration option to define a list of |
| | environment variables that cannot be modified by modulefile |
| | commands. When set, "protected_envvars" defines |
| | "MODULES_PROTECTED_ENVVARS" environment variable. (fix issue #429 |
| | with contribution from Adrien Cotte) |
| | |
| | * Introduce the "lint" sub-command to statically analyze syntax of |
| | modulefiles, modulerc and global/user rc. (fix issue #451) |
| | |
| | * Add the "tcl_linter" configuration option to define the program used |
| | to analyze files with "lint" sub-command. This option is set to |
| | "nagelfar.tcl" by default. When changed from default value, the |
| | "MODULES_TCL_LINTER" environment variable is defined. Default value |
| | can be changed with "--with-tcl-linter" and "--with-tcl-linter-opts" |
| | installation options. |
| | |
| | * Add the "--enable-nagelfar-addons" installation option (enabled by |
| | default) to install specific syntax databases and plugins to lint |
| | modulefiles, modulerc and global/user rc with Nagelfar. These files |
| | are installed in the directory designated by the "--nagelfardatadir" |
| | ("DATAROOTDIR/nagelfar" by default). |
| | |
| | * Doc: add lint sub-command design notes. |
| | |
| | * Install: use **install** command rather **cp** or **mkdir** to |
| | install Modules and guaranty consistent permission modes on deployed |
| | files. |
| | |
| | * Also unset "pushenv" value stacks on "clear" sub-command. |
| | |
| | * Doc: add mod-to-sh sub-command design notes. |
| | |
| | * Introduce the "mod-to-sh" sub-command to translate designated |
| | modulefile(s) into code for specified shell. (fix issue #447) |
| | |
| | * Make "source" sub-command accepts modulefile specification as |
| | argument. If argument does not correspond to a file path, search it |
| | among available modulefiles. (fix issue #424) |
| | |
| | * Doc: clarify "set-alias" only define shell alias and not shell |
| | function. |
| | |
| | * Add the ability to filter the list of collections returned by |
| | "savelist" sub-command. Filtering pattern is matched in a case |
| | insensitive manner by default. |
| | |
| | * Add support for "--starts-with" and "--contains" options on |
| | "savelist" sub-command. |
| | |
| | * Highlight all search patterns on "list" sub-command output instead |
| | of only the first one.. |
| | |
| | * Highlight all search patterns on "savelist" sub-command output. |
| | |
| | * Add support for "--all" option on "savelist" sub-command not to |
| | limit result to the collection matching currently defined |
| | "collection_target". |
| | |
| | * Doc: add Shell support section in modulefile man page to describe |
| | how shells support the different kind of environment changes that |
| | can be defined in modulefiles. |
| | |
| | * Record during "autoinit" sub-command the initial environment state |
| | in "__MODULES_LMINIT". Enabled modulepaths and loaded modulefiles |
| | through "modulespath" and "initrc" initialization configuration |
| | files are recorded in this new environment variable. |
| | |
| | * Add "reset" sub-command to restore initial environment. It takes |
| | recorded environment in "__MODULES_LMINIT" and restores it. |
| | |
| | * Initial environment is restored when collection name specified on |
| | "restore" sub-command equals "__init__". |
| | |
| | * When no argument is provided to "restore" sub-command and if |
| | *default* collection does not exist, initial environment is |
| | restored. |
| | |
| | * Initial environment content is displayed when collection name |
| | specified on "saveshow" sub-command equals "__init__". |
| | |
| | * When no argument is provided to "saveshow" sub-command and if |
| | *default* collection does not exist, initial environment content is |
| | displayed. |
| | |
| | * Add "reset_target_state" configuration option to determine behavior |
| | of "reset" sub-command. When set to "__init__" (default value) |
| | initial environment is restored. When set to "__purge__", a "purge" |
| | sub-command is performed. Any other value, corresponds to the name |
| | of a collection to "restore". When set, "reset_target_state" defines |
| | "MODULES_RESET_TARGET_STATE" environment variable. |
| | |
| | * Doc: add Initial environment design notes. |
| | |
| | * Unload *sticky* modules on "restore" and "reset" sub-commands to |
| | fully set environment in collection or initial state. |
| | |
| | * Testsuite: add *lint* testsuite to validate syntax of shell and Tcl |
| | scripts of this project. This testsuite can be invoked with "make |
| | testlint" or "script/mt lint". sh, bash and ksh scripts are checked |
| | with ShellCheck tool and tcl scripts are checked with Nagelfar. |
| | |
| | * Update "modulecmd.tcl" code and add Nagelfar inline comments to fix |
| | linter reports. |
| | |
| | * Script: add usage message and support for "-h"/"--help" option on |
| | **mrel**, **mpub**, **mt**, **mtreview**, **nglfar2ccov**, **mb** |
| | and **mlprof** development utilities. |
| | |
| | * Doc: describe **script/mt** and **script/mb** utilities in |
| | Contributing guide. |
| | |
| | * Fix ShellCheck error, warning and info reports over all sh, bash and |
| | ksh shell scripts. (fix issue #470 with contribution from Lukáš |
| | Zaoral) |
| | |
| | * Init: update profile script for sh-like shells to only source sh or |
| | bash initialization script when BASH environment variable is found |
| | set. (fix issue #473) |
| | |
| | * Add "stash" sub-command to save current environment and restore |
| | initial one. |
| | |
| | * Add "stashpop" sub-command to restore stash collection then delete |
| | this collection file. |
| | |
| | * Add "stashrm" sub-command to delete stash collection file. |
| | |
| | * Add "stashshow" sub-command to display stash collection file. |
| | |
| | * Add "stashclear" sub-command to delete all stash collection files. |
| | |
| | * Add "stashlist" sub-command to list all stash collection files. |
| | |
| | * Update "savelist" sub-command to filter out stash collections unless |
| | if "--all" option is set. |
| | |
| | * Doc: ensure current user environment does not break logging system |
| | in Log module command recipe. (fix issue #475) |
| | |
| | * Rename the default git branch from *master* to *main* to use |
| | inclusive terminology. |
| | |
| | * Mark loaded modules that could benefit from a refresh evaluation in |
| | the "__MODULES_LMREFRESH" environment variable. |
| | |
| | * Optimize "refresh" sub-command to only evaluate loaded modules that |
| | defines volatile environment changes (shell completion, alias or |
| | function). (fix issue #477) |
| | |
| | * Add "modulefile_extra_cmds" hook variable that could be defined in |
| | "siteconfig.tcl" file to define specific commands in modulefile |
| | interpreter context. "modulefile_extra_cmds" is a list of command |
| | name and relative procedure pairs. (fix issue #286) |
| | |
| | * Add "modulefile_extra_vars" hook variable that could be defined in |
| | "siteconfig.tcl" file to define specific variables in modulefile |
| | interpreter context. "modulefile_extra_vars" is a list of variable |
| | name and value pairs. (fix issue #286) |
| | |

| | "siteconfig.tcl" file to define specific commands in modulerc |
| | interpreter context. "modulerc_extra_cmds" is a list of command name |
| | and relative procedure pairs. (fix issue #286) |
| | |
| | * Add "modulerc_extra_vars" hook variable that could be defined in |
