Related to #7433
This extracts our "launched from desktop" logic into a config option.
The default value is detection using the same logic as before, but now
this can be overridden by the user.
This also adds the systemd and dbus activation sources from #7433.
There are a number of reasons why we decided to do this:
1. It automatically gets us caching since the configuration is only
loaded once (per reload, a rare occurrence).
2. It allows us to override the logic when testing. Previously, we
had to do more complex environment faking to get the same
behavior.
3. It forces exhaustive switches in any desktop handling code, which
will make it easier to ensure valid behaviors if we introduce new
launch sources (as we are in #7433).
4. It lowers code complexity since callsites don't need to have N
`launchedFromX()` checks and can use a single value.
Fixes#6633
For macOS, we set LANGUAGE to the priority list of preferred languages
for the app bundle, using the GNU gettext priority list format (colon
separated list of language codes).
This previously was inherited by the termio env. At first, this was by
design, but this has inherent flaws. Namely, the priority list format is
a GNU gettext specific format, and programs that use alternate gettext
implementations (like musl or Python) do not understand it and actually
do the wrong thing (not their fault!).
This change removes the inheritance of LANGUAGE in the termio env. To
make it extra safe, we only do set and unset LANGUAGE when we know we
launch from an app bundle. That was always the desired behavior but this
makes it more explicit.
Sets the LANGUAGE environment variable based on the preferred languages
as reported by NSLocale.
macOS has a concept of preferred languages separate from the system
locale. The set of preferred languages is a list in priority order
of what translations the user prefers. A user can have, for example,
"fr_FR" as their locale but "en" as their preferred language. This would
mean that they want to use French units, date formats, etc. but they
prefer English translations.
gettext uses the LANGUAGE environment variable to override only
translations and a priority order can be specified by separating
the languages with colons. For example, "en:fr" would mean that
English translations are preferred but if they are not available
then French translations should be used.
To further complicate things, Apple reports the languages in BCP-47
format which is not compatible with gettext's POSIX locale format so
we have to canonicalize them. To canonicalize the languages we use
an internal function from libintl. This isn't normally available but
since we compile from source on macOS we can use it. This isn't
necessary for other platforms.
Changes:
- Add WindowsPty, which uses the ConPTY API to create a pseudo console
- Pty now selects between PosixPty and WindowsPty
- Windows support in Command, including the ability to launch a process with a pseudo console
- Enable Command tests on windows
- Add some environment variable abstractions to handle the missing libc APIs on Windows
- Windows version of ReadThread
Instead of checking if a locale is valid, let's change this logic:
1. We first try setlocale to inherit from env vars, system default.
2. Next, we fall back to unsetting LANG if it was set manually,
allowing us to fall back to system defaults.
3. We fall back to en_US.UTF-8.
See #201 for more information.
Problem is that while we fall back to a default value to pass to
`setlocale`, we don't set a `LANG` and instead reset it to `""`.
What this does here is it changes the resetting to `""` and instead sets
it to the default value.
Fixes#201
I don't fully understand locales, but it appears that the locale
returned from NSLocale can be "valid" in general but invalid according
to libc's locale API. If you attempt to `setlocale` with this bad
locale, it defaults everything to "C", which ends up breaking a lot of
things.
This commit validates the locale, and if it is invalid, we default to
"en_US.UTF-8" so things tend to work. This behavior can be overridden
using standard environment variables (LANG, LC_ALL, etc.).
This also doesn't touch env vars so further subprocesses from the shell
see original locale env vars.
