Issue #19138 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). schneems (Richard Schneeman) wrote in #note-6:

Instead of adding #line though if we could attach the source that would be more impactful for syntax search.

Some cases such as eval do not have source files, so if we could access the contents for casses without a path that would increase the capabilities of the gem.

Strongly agreed. We should have a way to get the original source code/text from an exception or a Method/UnboundMethod object, or any core object which has a `source_location`. The current way trying to reread from disk is quite brittle and incomplete, as seen for `error_highlight` by @mame. TruffleRuby already keeps this information, it's only a matter of exposing it through some method. That should be a separate feature request though. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19138: `SyntaxError#path` for syntax_suggest https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19138#change-100273 * Author: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Currently syntax_suggest searches the path name from the exception message. But extracting the info from messages for humans is fragile, I think. So proposing a new method `SyntaxError#path`, similar to `LoadError#path`. ```patch commit 986da132002af1cdb75c0c89ca2831fe51e6ce69 Author: Nobuyoshi Nakada <nobu@ruby-lang.org> AuthorDate: 2022-11-20 22:59:52 +0900 Commit: Nobuyoshi Nakada <nobu@ruby-lang.org> CommitDate: 2022-11-20 23:44:27 +0900 Add `SyntaxError#path` diff --git a/error.c b/error.c index 0ff4b8d6d8e..ad1bc6ee8dc 100644 --- a/error.c +++ b/error.c @@ -125,6 +125,8 @@ err_vcatf(VALUE str, const char *pre, const char *file, int line, return str; } +static VALUE syntax_error_with_path(VALUE, VALUE, VALUE*, rb_encoding*); + VALUE rb_syntax_error_append(VALUE exc, VALUE file, int line, int column, rb_encoding *enc, const char *fmt, va_list args) @@ -138,15 +140,7 @@ rb_syntax_error_append(VALUE exc, VALUE file, int line, int column, } else { VALUE mesg; - if (NIL_P(exc)) { - mesg = rb_enc_str_new(0, 0, enc); - exc = rb_class_new_instance(1, &mesg, rb_eSyntaxError); - } - else { - mesg = rb_attr_get(exc, idMesg); - if (RSTRING_LEN(mesg) > 0 && *(RSTRING_END(mesg)-1) != '\n') - rb_str_cat_cstr(mesg, "\n"); - } + exc = syntax_error_with_path(exc, file, &mesg, enc); err_vcatf(mesg, NULL, fn, line, fmt, args); } @@ -2353,6 +2347,25 @@ syntax_error_initialize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) return rb_call_super(argc, argv); } +static VALUE +syntax_error_with_path(VALUE exc, VALUE path, VALUE *mesg, rb_encoding *enc) +{ + if (NIL_P(exc)) { + *mesg = rb_enc_str_new(0, 0, enc); + exc = rb_class_new_instance(1, mesg, rb_eSyntaxError); + rb_ivar_set(exc, id_i_path, path); + } + else { + if (rb_attr_get(exc, id_i_path) != path) { + rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "SyntaxError#path changed"); + } + VALUE s = *mesg = rb_attr_get(exc, idMesg); + if (RSTRING_LEN(s) > 0 && *(RSTRING_END(s)-1) != '\n') + rb_str_cat_cstr(s, "\n"); + } + return exc; +} + /* * Document-module: Errno * @@ -3011,9 +3024,14 @@ Init_Exception(void) rb_eSyntaxError = rb_define_class("SyntaxError", rb_eScriptError); rb_define_method(rb_eSyntaxError, "initialize", syntax_error_initialize, -1); + ID id_path = rb_intern_const("path"); + + /* the path failed to parse */ + rb_attr(rb_eSyntaxError, id_path, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE); + rb_eLoadError = rb_define_class("LoadError", rb_eScriptError); /* the path failed to load */ - rb_attr(rb_eLoadError, rb_intern_const("path"), TRUE, FALSE, FALSE); + rb_attr(rb_eLoadError, id_path, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE); rb_eNotImpError = rb_define_class("NotImplementedError", rb_eScriptError); ``` With this method, syntax_suggest/core_ext.rb will no longer need `PathnameFromMessage`. ```patch diff --git i/lib/syntax_suggest/core_ext.rb w/lib/syntax_suggest/core_ext.rb index 40f5fe13759..616a6ed9839 100644 --- i/lib/syntax_suggest/core_ext.rb +++ w/lib/syntax_suggest/core_ext.rb @@ -25,15 +25,12 @@ require "syntax_suggest/api" unless defined?(SyntaxSuggest::DEFAULT_VALUE) message = super - file = if highlight - SyntaxSuggest::PathnameFromMessage.new(super(highlight: false, **kwargs)).call.name - else - SyntaxSuggest::PathnameFromMessage.new(message).call.name - end - - io = SyntaxSuggest::MiniStringIO.new + file = path if file + file = Pathname.new(file) + io = SyntaxSuggest::MiniStringIO.new + SyntaxSuggest.call( io: io, source: file.read, ``` Since we have not released with `SyntaxError#detailed_message` yet, there should not be a compatibility issue. @schneems How do you think? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
