This commit attempts to surface binary filtering in a slightly more
user friendly way. Namely, before, ripgrep would silently stop
searching a file if it detected a NUL byte, even if it had previously
printed a match. This can lead to the user quite reasonably assuming
that there are no more matches, since a partial search is fairly
unintuitive. (ripgrep has this behavior by default because it really
wants to NOT search binary files at all, just like it doesn't search
gitignored or hidden files.)
With this commit, if a match has already been printed and ripgrep detects
a NUL byte, then it will print a warning message indicating that the search
stopped prematurely.
Moreover, this commit adds a new flag, --binary, which causes ripgrep to
stop filtering binary files, but in a way that still avoids dumping
binary data into terminals. That is, the --binary flag makes ripgrep
behave more like grep's default behavior.
For files explicitly specified in a search, e.g., `rg foo some-file`,
then no binary filtering is applied (just like no gitignore and no
hidden file filtering is applied). Instead, ripgrep behaves as if you
gave the --binary flag for all explicitly given files.
This was a fairly invasive change, and potentially increases the UX
complexity of ripgrep around binary files. (Before, there were two
binary modes, where as now there are three.) However, ripgrep is now a
bit louder with warning messages when binary file detection might
otherwise be hiding potential matches, so hopefully this is a net
improvement.
Finally, the `-uuu` convenience now maps to `--no-ignore --hidden
--binary`, since this is closer to the actualy intent of the
`--unrestricted` flag, i.e., to reduce ripgrep's smart filtering. As a
consequence, `rg -uuu foo` should now search roughly the same number of
bytes as `grep -r foo`, and `rg -uuua foo` should search roughly the
same number of bytes as `grep -ra foo`. (The "roughly" weasel word is
used because grep's and ripgrep's binary file detection might differ
somewhat---perhaps based on buffer sizes---which can impact exactly what
is and isn't searched.)
See the numerous tests in tests/binary.rs for intended behavior.
Fixes#306, Fixes#855
This changes how ripgrep emit exit status codes. In particular, any error
that occurs while searching will now cause ripgrep to emit a `2` exit
code, where as it previously would emit either a `0` or a `1` code based
on whether it matched or not. That is, ripgrep would only emit a `2` exit
code for a catastrophic error.
This tweak includes additional logic that GNU grep adheres to, which seems
like good sense. Namely, if -q/--quiet is given, and an error occurs and
a match occurs, then ripgrep will emit a `0` exit code.
Closes#1159
This removes ripgrep-specific code for filtering files that correspond to
stdout and instead uses the 'ignore' crate's functionality for doing the
same.
This commit undoes a work-around for a bug in Rust's standard library
that prevented correct file type detection on Windows in OneDrive
directories. We remove the work-around because we are moving to a
latest-stable Rust version policy, which has included this fix for a while
now.
ref #705, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/46484
This commit does the work to delete the old `grep` crate and effectively
rewrite most of ripgrep core to use the new libripgrep crates. The new
`grep` crate is now a facade that collects the various crates that make
up libripgrep.
The most complex part of ripgrep core is now arguably the translation
between command line parameters and the library options, which is
ultimately where we want to be.
