Hey!
I'm trying to get a persistent history working. However, the struggle is real :D
Maybe you have an idea and better understanding of cobra.
The command has the following additional argument
...
PreRun: WriteHistory,
The following function does write the history line and append it to the file:
func WriteHistory(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
enabledFlags = nil
// Open history file
f, err := os.OpenFile(".fry_history",
os.O_APPEND|os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
if err != nil {
log.Println(err)
}
defer f.Close()
// Parse flags
cmd.Flags().SortFlags = false
cmd.Flags().Visit(checkFlags)
log.Print()
// Join flags and arguments
cmdLine := cmd.Parent().Use + " " + cmd.Use + " " + strings.Join(enabledFlags, " ") + " " + strings.Join(args, " ")
if _, err := f.WriteString(cmdLine + "\n"); err != nil {
log.Println(err)
}
}Reading the history does happen at the start of the program execution:
func init...
hist := prompt.OptionHistory(readHistory())
myShell := shell.New(rootCmd, keyBinds, codeBinds, number, hist)
func readHistory() []string {
data, err := os.ReadFile(".fry_history")
if err != nil {
log.Println("No history yet. Nothing to parse")
}
history := strings.Split(string(data), "\n")
return history
}Build the flag strings (this is super weird and I look for a better solution).
func checkFlags(f *pflag.Flag) {
if f.Value.Type() == "bool" {
//fmt.Println(f.Value.String())
enabledFlags = append(enabledFlags, "--"+f.Name)
} else {
enabledFlags = append(enabledFlags, "--"+f.Name+" \""+f.Value.String()+"\"")
}
fmt.Printf("Flags: %v\n", enabledFlags)
}This approach works fine for the first execution of a command.
However, the flags do not reset after each command execution. Thus the flags add up when running multiple times in one shell.
By any chance. Do you have experience how to parse the flags correctly in order to write them to a file?
