templater: don't overwrite the keyword mapping in runsymbol() (issue4362)
This keyword remapping was introduced in e06e9fd2d99f as part of converting
generator based iterators into list based iterators, mentioning "undesired
behavior in template" when a generator is exhausted, but doesn't say what and
introduces no tests.
The problem with the remapping was that it corrupted the output for keywords
like 'extras', 'file_copies' and 'file_copies_switch' in templates such as:
$ hg log -r 142b5d5ec9cc --template "{file_copies % ' File: {file_copy}\n'}"
File: mercurial/changelog.py (mercurial/hg.py)
File: mercurial/changelog.py (mercurial/hg.py)
File: mercurial/changelog.py (mercurial/hg.py)
File: mercurial/changelog.py (mercurial/hg.py)
File: mercurial/changelog.py (mercurial/hg.py)
File: mercurial/changelog.py (mercurial/hg.py)
File: mercurial/changelog.py (mercurial/hg.py)
File: mercurial/changelog.py (mercurial/hg.py)
What was happening was that in the first call to runtemplate() inside runmap(),
'lm' mapped the keyword (e.g. file_copies) to the appropriate showxxx() method.
On each subsequent call to runtemplate() in that loop however, the keyword was
mapped to a list of the first item's pieces, e.g.:
'file_copy': ['mercurial/changelog.py', ' (', 'mercurial/hg.py', ')']
Therefore, the dict for the second and any subsequent items were not processed
through the corresponding showxxx() method, and the first item's data was
reused.
The 'extras' keyword regressed in de7e6c489412, and 'file_copies' regressed in
0b241d7a8c62 for other reasons. The common thread of things fixed by this seems
to be when a list of dicts are passed to the templatekw._hybrid class.

Mercurial allows you to customize output of commands through templates. You can either pass in a template or select an existing template-style from the command line, via the --template option. You can customize output for any "log-like" command: log, outgoing, incoming, tip, parents, and heads. Some built-in styles are packaged with Mercurial. These can be listed with :hg:`log --template list`. Example usage:: $ hg log -r1.0::1.1 --template changelog A template is a piece of text, with markup to invoke variable expansion:: $ hg log -r1 --template "{node}\n" b56ce7b07c52de7d5fd79fb89701ea538af65746 Strings in curly braces are called keywords. The availability of keywords depends on the exact context of the templater. These keywords are usually available for templating a log-like command: .. keywordsmarker The "date" keyword does not produce human-readable output. If you want to use a date in your output, you can use a filter to process it. Filters are functions which return a string based on the input variable. Be sure to use the stringify filter first when you're applying a string-input filter to a list-like input variable. You can also use a chain of filters to get the desired output:: $ hg tip --template "{date|isodate}\n" 2008-08-21 18:22 +0000 List of filters: .. filtersmarker Note that a filter is nothing more than a function call, i.e. ``expr|filter`` is equivalent to ``filter(expr)``. In addition to filters, there are some basic built-in functions: - date(date[, fmt]) - diff([includepattern [, excludepattern]]) - fill(text[, width]) - get(dict, key) - if(expr, then[, else]) - ifcontains(expr, expr, then[, else]) - ifeq(expr, expr, then[, else]) - join(list, sep) - label(label, expr) - pad(text, width[, fillchar, right]) - revset(query[, formatargs]) - rstdoc(text, style) - shortest(node) - startswith(string, text) - strip(text[, chars]) - sub(pat, repl, expr) - word(number, text[, separator]) Also, for any expression that returns a list, there is a list operator: - expr % "{template}" Some sample command line templates: - Format lists, e.g. files:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "files:\n{files % ' {file}\n'}" - Join the list of files with a ", ":: $ hg log -r 0 --template "files: {join(files, ', ')}\n" - Modify each line of a commit description:: $ hg log --template "{splitlines(desc) % '**** {line}\n'}" - Format date:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{date(date, '%Y')}\n" - Output the description set to a fill-width of 30:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{fill(desc, '30')}" - Use a conditional to test for the default branch:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{ifeq(branch, 'default', 'on the main branch', 'on branch {branch}')}\n" - Append a newline if not empty:: $ hg tip --template "{if(author, '{author}\n')}" - Label the output for use with the color extension:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{label('changeset.{phase}', node|short)}\n" - Invert the firstline filter, i.e. everything but the first line:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{sub(r'^.*\n?\n?', '', desc)}\n" - Display the contents of the 'extra' field, one per line:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{join(extras, '\n')}\n" - Mark the current bookmark with '*':: $ hg log --template "{bookmarks % '{bookmark}{ifeq(bookmark, current, \"*\")} '}\n" - Mark the working copy parent with '@':: $ hg log --template "{ifcontains(rev, revset('.'), '@')}\n" - Show only commit descriptions that start with "template":: $ hg log --template "{startswith(\"template\", firstline(desc))}\n" - Print the first word of each line of a commit message:: $ hg log --template "{word(\"0\", desc)}\n"
