- Move external URL checks to its own module under `tests/`. This
separates them from integration test, addressing long runs and
frequent failures that led to ignoring test results.
- Move `check-desktop-runtime-errors` to `tests/checks` to keep all
test-related checks into one directory.
- Replace `ts-node` with `vite` for running
`check-desktop-runtime-errors` to maintain a consistent execution
environment across checks.
- Implement a timeout for each fetch call.
- Be nice to external sources, wait 5 seconds before sending another
request to an URL under same domain. This solves rate-limiting issues.
- Instead of running test on every push/pull request, run them only
weekly.
- Do not run tests on each commit/PR but only scheduled (weekly) to
minimize noise.
- Fix URLs are not captured correctly inside backticks or parenthesis.
Test improvements:
- Capture titles for all macOS windows, not just the frontmost.
- Incorporate missing application log files.
- Improve log clarity with enriched context.
- Improve application termination on macOS by reducing grace period.
- Ensure complete application termination on macOS.
- Validate Vue application loading through an initial log.
- Support ignoring environment-specific `stderr` errors.
- Do not fail the test if working directory cannot be deleted.
- Use retry pattern when installing dependencies due to network errors.
Refactorings:
- Migrate the test code to TypeScript.
- Replace deprecated `rmdir` with `rm` for error-resistant directory
removal.
- Improve sanity checking by shifting from App.vue to Vue bootstrapper.
- Centralize environment variable management with `EnvironmentVariables`
construct.
- Rename infrastructure/Environment to RuntimeEnvironment for clarity.
- Isolate WindowVariables and SystemOperations from RuntimeEnvironment.
- Inject logging via preloader.
- Correct mislabeled RuntimeSanity tests.
Configuration:
- Introduce `npm run check:desktop` for simplified execution.
- Omit `console.log` override due to `nodeIntegration` restrictions and
reveal logging functionality using context-bridging.
Enable `contextIsolation` in Electron to securely expose a limited set
of Node.js APIs to the renderer process. It:
1. Isolates renderer and main process contexts. It ensures that the
powerful main process functions aren't directly accessible from
renderer process(es), adding a security boundary.
2. Mitigates remote exploitation risks. By isolating contexts, potential
malicious code injections in the renderer can't directly reach and
compromise the main process.
3. Reduces attack surface.
4. Protect against prototype pollution: It prevents tampering of
JavaScript object prototypes in one context from affecting another
context, improving app reliability and security.
Supporting changes include:
- Extract environment and system operations classes to the infrastructure
layer. This removes node dependencies from core domain and application
code.
- Introduce `ISystemOperations` to encapsulate OS interactions. Use it
from `CodeRunner` to isolate node API usage.
- Add a preloader script to inject validated environment variables into
renderer context. This keeps Electron integration details
encapsulated.
- Add new sanity check to fail fast on issues with preloader injected
variables.
- Improve test coverage of runtime sanity checks and environment
components. Move validation logic into separate classes for Single
Responsibility.
- Improve absent value test case generation.
- Fix a bug (introduced in 1b9be8fe) preventing the tree view from being
visible during a search.
- Fix a minor bug where the scripts view does not render based on the
initial filter.
- Add Vue component tests for `TheScriptView` to prevent regressions.
- Refactor `isSearching` in `TheScriptView` to simplify its logic.
- Switch from deprecated Vue CLI plugin to `electron-vite` (see
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1982)
- Update main/preload scripts to use `index.cjs` filenames to support
`"type": "module"`, resolving crash issue (#233). This crash was
related to Electron not supporting ESM (see electron/asar#249,
electron/electron#21457).
- This commit completes migration to Vite from Vue CLI (#230).
Structure changes:
- Introduce separate folders for Electron's main and preload processes.
- Move TypeHelpers to `src/` to mark tit as accessible by the rest of
the code.
Config changes:
- Make `vite.config.ts` reusable by Electron configuration.
- On electron-builder, use `--publish` flag instead of `-p` for clarity.
Tests:
- Add log for preload script loading verification.
- Implement runtime environment sanity checks.
- Enhance logging in `check-desktop-runtime-errors`.
This commit progresses the migration from Vue CLI to Vite (#230).
TypeScript migration:
- Convert JavaScript Cypress tests and configurations to TypeScript.
- Introduce `tsconfig.json` for Cypress, following official
recommendation.
Test execution:
- Use Cypress CLI to run the tests.
- Rename Cypress commands to reflect official naming conventions.
- Start Vue server prior to Cypress execution, using
`start-server-and-test` package based on official documentation.
- Remove dependency on Vue CLI plugin ((`@vue/cli-plugin-e2e-cypress`).
Configuration standardization (based on Cypress docs):
- Delete unused `plugins/` directory.
- Move test (spec) files to to the root directory.
- Add official ESLint plugin (`eslint-plugin-cypress`).
Changes for importing `vite.config.ts` into `cypress.config.ts`:
- Add TypeScript import assertations to files importing JSON files.
- Use ESM friendly way instead of `__dirname` to solve `ReferenceError:
__dirname is not defined in ES module scrope`.
Other changes:
- Simplify comments in placeholder files.
- Create Cypress specific `.gitignore` for enhanced maintainability,
clarity and scalability.
- Remove redundant `vue.config.cjs`.
This commit changes the web application's build, transpilation and
minification process from Vue CLI to Vite. This shift paves the way for
a full migration to Vite as the primary build tool (#230).
Configuration changes:
- `.vscode/extensions.json`: Update recommended plugins, replacing
unmaintained ones with official recommendations.
- Legacy browser support:
- Use `@vitejs/plugin-legacy` to transpile for older browsers.
- Remove `core-js` dependency and `babel.config.cjs` configuration as
they're now handled by the legacy plugin.
- Delete `@babel/preset-typescript` and `@babel/preset-typescript`
dependencies as legacy plugin handles babel dependencies by default.
- Add `terser` dependency that's used by the legacy plugin for
minification, as per Vite's official documentation.
- `tsconfig.json`:
- Remove obsolete `webpack-env` types.
- Add `"resolveJsonModule": true` to be able to read JSON files in
right way.
- Use correct casing as configuration values.
- Simplify `lib` to align with Vite and Vue starter configuration.
- Add `"skipLibCheck": true` as `npm run build` now runs `tsc` which
fails on inconsistent typings inside `node_modules` due to npm's
weak dependency resoultion.
- PostCSS:
- Add `autoprefixer` as dependency, no longer installed by Vue CLI.
- Epxlicitly added `postcss` as dependency to anticipate potential
peer dependency changes.
- Remove related `@vue/cli` dependencies.
- Remove `sass-loader` as Vite has native CSS preprocessing support.
- Run integration tests with `jsdom` environment so `window` object can
be used.
Client-side changes:
- Abstract build tool specific environment variable population.
Environment variables were previously populated by Vue CLI and now by
Vite but not having an abstraction caused issues. This abstraction
solves build errors and allows easier future migrations and testing.
- Change Vue CLI-specific `~@` aliases to `@` to be able to compile with
Vite.
- Update types in LiquorTree to satisfy `tsc`.
- Remove Vue CLI-specific workaround from `src/presentation/main.ts`.
Restructuring:
- Move `public/` to `presentation/` to align with the layered structure,
which was not possible with Vue CLI.
- Move `index.html` to web root instead of having it inside `public/` to
align with official recommended structure.
- Move logic shared by both integration and unit tests to
`tests/shared`.
- Move logo creation script to `scripts/` and its npm command to include
`build` to align with rest of the structure.
The Vue ESLint plugin is not compatible with Vite and isn't provided in
Vite's default template. By removing it, the codebase progresses toward
the migration to Vue 3.0 and Vite (#230).
Changes:
- Directly execute `eslint` in the `npm run lint:eslint` command.
- Fix previously undetected linting issues that weren't covered by Vue
CLI's default configuration.
- Updated various configuration files, reflecting the removal and lint
fixes.
- Remove unused `eslint-plugin-import` dependency that is already
imported by `@vue/eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript`.
In `.eslintrc.cjs`:
- Add `es2022` as environment in to simplify setting parser options and
align with Vite starter configuration.
- Remove useless tests override.
- Move tests override in root `.eslintrc.cjs` to `tests/` for clarity,
better organization, scalability and separation of concerns.
As part of transition to Vue 3.0 and Vite (#230), this commit
facilitates the shift towards building rest of the application using
Vite. By doing so, it eliminates reliance on outdated Electron building
system that offered limited control, blocking desktop builds (#233).
Changes include:
- Introduce Vite with Vue 2.0 plugin for test execution.
- Remove `mocha`, `chai` and other related dependencies.
- Adjust test to Vitest syntax.
- Revise and update `tests.md` to document the changes.
- Add `@modyfi/vite-plugin-yaml` plugin to be able to use yaml file
depended logic on test files, replacing previous webpack behavior.
- Fix failing tests that are revealed by Vitest due to unhandled errors
and lack of assertments.
- Remove the test that depends on Vue CLI populating `process.env`.
- Use `jsdom` for unit test environment, adding it to dependency to
`package.json` as project now depends on it and it was not specified
even though `package-lock.json` included it.
Configure project to use ES6 modules to enable top-level await
capabilities. This change helps project to align well with modern JS
standards.
- Set `type` to `module` in `package.json`.
- Use import/export syntax in Cypress configuration files.
- Rename configurations files that do not support modules to use
the `.cjs` extension:
- `vue.config.js` to `vue.config.cjs` (vuejs/vue-cli#4477).
- `babel.config.js` to `babel.config.cjs (babel/babel-loader#894)
- `.eslintrc.js` to `.eslintrc.cjs` (eslint/eslint#13440,
eslint/eslint#14137)
- `postcss.config.js` to `postcss.config.cjs` (postcss/postcss#1771)
- Provide a workaround for Vue CLI & Mocha ES6 modules conflict in
Vue configuration file (vuejs/vue-cli#7417).
Refactor filter event handling to a unified event with visitor pattern
to simplify the code, avoid future bugs and provide better test
coverage.
This commit shifts from using separate `filtered` and `filterRemoved`
events to a singular, more expressive `filterChanged` event. The new
approach emits a detailed payload that explicitly indicates the filter
action and the associated filter data. The event object unifies the way
the presentation layer reacts to the events.
Benefits with this approach include:
- Simplifying event listeners by reducing the number of events to
handle.
- Increasing code clarity and reduces potential for oversight by
providing explicit action details in the event payload.
- Offering extensibility for future actions without introducing new
events.
- Providing visitor pattern to handle different kind of events in easy
and robust manner without code repetition.
Other changes:
- Refactor components handling of events to follow DRY and KISS
principles better.
- Refactor `UserFilter.spec.ts` to:
- Make it easier to add new tests.
- Increase code coverage by running all event-based tests on the
current property.
- Remove existing integration tests for hooks as they're redundant after
this change.
- Document the pattern in relevant documentation.
- Introduce `useEnvironment` to increase testability.
- Update components to inject dependencies rather than importing hooks
directly.
This commits fixes an issue where the `REVERT` label on revert toggle
might render as `REVER` or in a similarly clipped manner due to its
fixed width. The problem is visible when certain fonts fail to load or
browser engines render content non-standardly.
Changes:
- Refactor UI component to have its own separate Vue component with unit
tests.
- Rework component design to utilize flexbox, enhancing its adaptability
and simplifying the structure.
- Remove obselete `webkit` directives.
- Refactor SCSS for clearer structure and better SCSS best-practices.
- Use `em` when possible instead of `px` for improved responsiveness.
Introduce a brand new lightweight and efficient modal component. It is
designed to be visually similar to the previous one to not introduce a
change in feel of the application in a patch release, but behind the
scenes it features:
- Enhanced application speed and reduced bundle size.
- New flexbox-driven layout, eliminating JS calculations.
- Composition API ready for Vue 3.0 #230.
Other changes:
- Adopt idiomatic Vue via `v-modal` binding.
- Add unit tests for both the modal and dialog.
- Remove `vue-js-modal` dependency in favor of the new implementation.
- Adjust modal shadow color to better match theme.
- Add `@vue/test-utils` for unit testing.
Unit and integration tests have been failing due to failed logging of
`Error` objects. These were creating an issue where `mocha` was not
properly returning right exit codes, leading to test pipelines
incorrectly passing despite test failures.
- Fix runtime behavior of failing to retrieve error stacks.
- Add tests for error handling.
- Add more robust custom error handling.
Related issues: babel/babel#14273, vuejs/vue-cli#6994.
- Migrate `StatefulVue`:
- Introduce `UseCollectionState` that replaces its behavior and acts
as a shared state store.
- Add more encapsulated, granular functions based on read or write
access to state in CollectionState.
- Some linting rules get activates due to new code-base compability to
modern parses, fix linting errors.
- Rename Dialog to ModalDialog as after refactoring,
eslintvue/no-reserved-component-names does not allow name Dialog.
- To comply with `vue/multi-word-component-names`, rename:
- `Code` -> `CodeInstruction`
- `Handle` -> `SliderHandle`
- `Documentable` -> `DocumentableNode`
- `Node` -> `NodeContent`
- `INode` -> `INodeContent`
- `Responsive` -> `SizeObserver`
- Remove `vue-property-decorator` and `vue-class-component`
dependencies.
- Refactor `watch` with computed properties when possible for cleaner
code.
- Introduce `UseApplication` to reduce repeated code in new components
that use `computed` more heavily than before.
- Change TypeScript target to `es2017` to allow top level async calls
for getting application context/state/instance to simplify the code by
removing async calls. However, mocha (unit and integration) tests do
not run with top level awaits, so a workaround is used.
All outbound links now include `rel="noopener noreferrer"` attribute.
This security improvement prevents the new page from being able to
access the `window.opener` property and ensures it runs in a separate
process.
`rel="noopener"`:
When a new page is opened using `target="_blank"`, the new page runs
on the same process as the originating page, and has a reference to
the originating page `window.opener`. By implementing
`rel="noopener"`, the new page is prevented to use `window.opener`
property.
It's security issue because the newly opened website could
potentially redirect the page to a malicious URL. Even though
privacy.sexy doesn't have any sensitive information to protect, this
can still be a vector for phishing attacks.
`rel="noreferrer"`:
It implies features of `noopener`, and also prevents `Referer` header
from being sent to the new page. Referer headers may include
sensitive data, because they tell the new page the URL of the page
the request is coming from.
- Unify reading subtitle/slogan throughout the application.
- Refactor related unit tests for easier future changes.
- Add typed constants for Vue app environment variables.
- Introduce `fresh-npm-install.sh` to automate clean npm environment
setup.
- Revert workaround 924b326244, resolved
by updating Font Awesome.
- Remove `vue-template-compiler` and `@vue/test-utils` from
dependencies, they're obsolete in 2.7.
- Update anchor references to start with lower case in line with
MD051/link-fragments, introduced by updated `markdownlint`.
- Upgrade cypress to > 10, which includes:
- Change spec extensions from `*.spec.js` to `*.cy.js`.
- Change configuration file from `cypress.json` to
`cypress.config.ts`.
- Remove most configurations from `cypress/plugins/index.js`. These
configurations were initially generated by Vue CLI but obsoleted in
newer cypress versions.
- Lock Typescript version to 4.6.x due to lack of support in
unmaintained Vue CLI TypeScript plugin (see vuejs/vue-cli#7401).
- Use `setWindowOpenHandler` on Electron, replacing deprecated
`new-event` event.
- Document inability to upgrade `typescript-eslint` dependencies because
`@vue/eslint-config-typescript` does not support them. See
vuejs/eslint-config-typescript#60, vuejs/eslint-config-typescript#59,
vuejs/eslint-config-typescript#57.
- Fix `typescript` version to 4.6.X and `tslib` version to 2.4.x,
unit tests exit with a maximum call stack size exceeded error:
```

work, see evanw/node-source-map-support#252.
- Update `vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder` to latest alpha version. This
allows upgrading `ts-loader` to latest and using latest
`electron-builder`. Change `main` property value in `package.json` to
`index.js` for successful electron builds (see
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#188).
Key features of Linux support:
- It supports python 3 scripts execution.
- It supports Flatpak and Snap installation for software
clean-up/configurations.
- Extensive documentation.
Rework code validation to be bound to a context and not
context-independent. It means that the generated code is validated based
on different phases during the compilation. This is done by moving
validation from `ScriptCode` constructor to a different callable
function.
It removes duplicate detection for function calls once a call is fully
compiled, but still checks for duplicates inside each function body that
has inline code. This allows for having duplicates in final scripts
(thus relaxing the duplicate detection), e.g., when multiple calls to
the same function is made.
It fixes non-duplicates (when using common syntax) being misrepresented
as duplicate lines.
It improves the output of errors, such as printing valid lines, to give
more context. This improvement also fixes empty line validation not
showing the right empty lines in the error output. Empty line validation
shows tabs and whitespaces more clearly.
Finally, it adds more tests including tests for existing logic, such as
singleton factories.
Add support for expressions inside expressions.
Add support for templating where the output of one expression results in
another template part with expressions.
E.g., this did not work before, but compilation will now evaluate both
with expression with `$condition` and parameter substitution with
`$text`:
```
{{ with $condition }}
echo '{{ $text }}'
{{ end }}
```
Add also more sanity checks (validation logic) when compiling
expressions to reveal problems quickly.
Improve templating support for block rendering for `with` expression
that has multiline code. This improves templating support to render
multiline code conditionally.
This did not work before but works now:
```
{{ with $middleLine }}
first line
second line
{{ end }}
```
- Simplify alternatives to run the script.
- Change style of code parts to be easier to the eye:
- Use the same font size as other texts in body.
- Add vertical padding.
- Align the contents (the code, copy button and dollar sign) in the
middle.
- Align information icon to center of context next to it.
- Fix minor typos and punctations.
- Refactor instruction list to be more generic to able to be used by
other operating systems.
- Make dialogs scrollable so instruction list on smaller screens can be
read until the end.
Rework documentation URLs as inline markdown.
Redesign documentations with markdown text.
Redesign way to document scripts/categories and present the
documentation.
Documentation is showed in an expandable box instead of tooltip. This is
to allow writing longer documentation (tooltips are meant to be used for
short text) and have better experience on mobile.
If a node (script/category) has documentation it's now shown with single
information icon (ℹ) aligned to right.
Add support for rendering documentation as markdown. It automatically
converts plain URLs to URLs with display names (e.g.
https://docs.microsoft.com/..) will be rendered automatically like
"docs.microsoft.com - Windows 11 Privacy...".
- Use better error messages with more context.
- Unify their validation logic and share tests.
- Validate also type of the name.
- Refactor node (Script/Category) parser tests for easier future
changes and cleaner test code (using `TestBuilder` to do dirty work in
unified way).
- Add more tests. Custom `Error` properties are compared manually due to
`chai` not supporting deep equality checks (chaijs/chai#1065,
chaijs/chai#1405).
Purge unused dependencies.
Update dependencies to latest except:
- ts-lint. Keep locked to 9.0.1 because that's the latest version that
works with Webpack 4 that's still used by
vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder.
- Keep eslint at version 7 because tests cannot be run/compiled with
version 7, see eslint/eslint#15678, vuejs/vue-cli#6759.
Newer versions of ESLint modules do not allow linebreak after or before
= operator (operator-linebreak). This commit also changes files to
comply with it.
Closes#116, #119, #122, #130.
Remove using Webpack import syntax such as: `js-yaml-loader!@/..`. It's
a non-standard syntax that couples the code to Webpack.
Configure instead by specifying Webpack loader in Vue configuration
file.
Enable related ESLint rules.
Remove unused dependency `raw-loader` and refactor
`NoUnintendedInlining` test to load files using file system (dropping
webpack dependency).
Refactor to use `import type` for type imports to show the indent
clearly and satisfy failing ESLint rules.
- Unify test data for nonexistence of an object/string and collection.
- Introduce more test through adding missing test data to existing tests.
- Improve logic for checking absence of values to match tests.
- Add missing tests for absent value validation.
- Update documentation to include shared test functionality.
Increase performance by only notifying GUI about changes in selection
when there really is a change. It removes extra processing from all
event listeners that act on selection state change.
- Use function abstractions (such as map, reduce, filter etc.) over
for-of loops to gain benefits of having less side effects and easier
readability.
- Enable `downLevelIterations` for writing modern code with lazy evaluation.
- Refactor for of loops to named abstractions to clearly express their
intentions without needing to analyse the loop itself.
- Add missing cases for changes that had no tests.
Major refactoring using ESLint with rules from AirBnb and Vue.
Enable most of the ESLint rules and do necessary linting in the code.
Also add more information for rules that are disabled to describe what
they are and why they are disabled.
Allow logging (`console.log`) in test files, and in development mode
(e.g. when working with `npm run serve`), but disable it when
environment is production (as pre-configured by Vue). Also add flag
(`--mode production`) in `lint:eslint` command so production linting is
executed earlier in lifecycle.
Disable rules that requires a separate work. Such as ESLint rules that
are broken in TypeScript: no-useless-constructor (eslint/eslint#14118)
and no-shadow (eslint/eslint#13014).
TSLint deprecated and is being replaced by ESLint.
Add Vue CLI plugin (@vue/cli-plugin-eslint) using:
`vue add @vue/cli-plugin-eslint`. It also adds `.eslintrc.js` manually
for Cypress since Vue CLI for ESLint misses it (vuejs/vue-cli#6892).
Also rename `npm run lint:vue` to `npm run lint:eslint` for better
clarification.
This commit disables all rules that the current code is not compliant
with. This allows for enabling them gradually and separating commits
instead of mixing ESLint introduction with other code changes.
AirBnb is chosen as base configuration.
"Standard" is not chosen due to its poor defaults. It makes code cleaner
but harder to maintain:
- It converts interfaces to types which is harder to read.
- Removes semicolons that helps to eliminate some ambigious code.
"Airbnb" on the other hand helps for easier future changes and
maintinability:
- Includes more useful rules.
- Keeps the semicolons and interfaces.
- Enforces trailing commas that makes it easier to delete lines later on.
- Delete branches: standard, prettier.
- Fix test cases not running for desktop OS detection.
- Fixes application throwing error when user agent is undefined.
- Refactor by making os property optional in Environment to explicit
describe its potential undefined state.
- Fix reverting "Disable SQM OS key".
- Fix applying "Disable Visual Studio Code data collection" scripts.
- Fix reverting "Do not show recently used files in Quick Access".
- Add unit tests for automatically checking similar issues in future.
It's caused by lookahead regex used in dash comment regex for inlining
PowerShell. This commit changes dash comment inlining.
- Change regex to one without lookahead.
- Add more test cases for inlining dash comment in tricky situations.
- Refactor makeInlineComment to be it's own function to easily test
other regex options.
- Document all regex alternatives.
- Remove redundant null check (`||`) with adding safe navigation
operator (`?`) to allow variable before check to be null instead of
throwing exception.
Remove convention where Async suffix is added to functions that returns
a Promise. It was a habit from C#, but is not widely used in JavaScript
/ TypeScript world, also bloats the code. The code is more consistent
with third party dependencies/frameworks without the suffix.
Implement following redirects over `fetch` supporting cookies.
`node-fetch` does not support sending cookies during redirect. However,
this is needed to not end-up in a redirect loop for a sign-in callback.
Fix integration tests failing due to redirects and 403 errors:
- Many redirects from `answers.microsoft.com` was throwing: throwing
`FetchError: maximum redirect reached` error. It was caused by not
having cookies when following redirects therefore having an infinite
sign-in callback for the webpage.
- Fixes integration tests failing due to additional referer header being
sent by the application. It adds support for making exceptions to
additional header sending through a list of regexes.
Add in-depth documentation for URL status checking.
Add new ways to disable Defender on Windows:
1. Disable through renaming required files
2. Disable using registry changes
3. Disable using TrustedInstaller user
Add support for running code as TrustedInstaller 🥳. It allows running
commands in OS-protected areas. It is written in PowerShell and it uses
PowerShell syntax like backticks that are inlined in special way. So the
commit extends inlining support and allows writing PowerShell using:
- Comments
- Here-strings
- Backticks
Add disabling of more Defender service
Improve documentation and categorization of services.
It changes the way privacy.sexy escape double quotes inside batch
command when running PowerShell scripts as an argument to
PowerShell.exe. It uses more robust and stable way offering support for
wider use-cases.
It allow pipes to be used in nested functions. Before, pipes were added
to a variable before variable content was evaluated/compiled by
another function. This commit ensures that the commits are evaluted in
expected order.
The issue is solved by stopping precompiling functions. It makes code
less complex. It adds to compile time of the script file but nothing
noticable and something optimizable.
The problem was that the call trees we're not executed in expected
order. E.g. let's say we have functionA that outputs something like
"Hello {{ $name| pipe }}", and we have function B calling with "name:
dear {{ $firstName}}", and at last we have a script that's calling
function B with "firstName: undergroundwires". Before, expressions were
evaluated directly, meaning that function A would become:
"Hello Dear {{ $firstName}}", as you see the pipe in function A
is lost here after being applied to function B and not reaching
$firstTime input value. Parsing expressions in the end allows for pipes
etc. to not get lost.
The commit also does necessary name refactorings and folder refactorings
to reflect logical changes. `FunctionCompiler` is renamed to
`SharedFunctionsParser` as precompiling is removed and it just simply
parses now. `/FunctionCall/` is moved to `/Function/Call`.
Finally, it improves documentation and adds more tests.
This commit introduces two pipes: `inlinePowerShell`,
`escapeDoubleQuotes`. The types when used together allows writing adding
clean and real PowerShell scripts as they are (without inlinining or
escaping them), removing the need to have hard-coded inlining/escaping.
It enables writing better PowerShell, makes it easier to maintain and
extend PowerShell scripts. Also allows writing more stable code with
less "unseen" bugs due to manual escaping/inlining. This commit
naturally reveals and fixes double quotes not being escaped in "Empty
trash bin" script.
This is solved by unifying the use of RunPowerShell function by all
scripts using PowerShell. The function inlines and escapes the scripts
as compile time to be send them to PowerShell.exe as an argument and
then invokes PowerShell.exe with generated ugly code.
The goal is to be able to modify values of variables used in templates.
It enables future functionality such as escaping, inlining etc.
It adds support applying predefined pipes to variables. Pipes
can be applied to variable substitution in with and parameter
substitution expressions. They work in similar way to piping in Unix
where each pipe applied to the compiled result of pipe before.
It adds support for using pipes in `with` and parameter substitution
expressions. It also refactors how their regex is build to reuse more of
the logic by abstracting regex building into a new class.
Finally, it separates and extends documentation for templating.
