2024-04-18Make OnWorker callback return an errorStefan Haller
This lets us get rid of a few more calls to Error(), and it simplifies things for clients of OnWorker: they can simply return an error from their callback like we do everywhere else.
2023-07-10Ensure background refreshes don't bunch upJesse Duffield
2023-07-10Use an interface for tasks instead of a concrete structJesse Duffield
By using an interface for tasks we can use a fake implementation in tests with extra methods
2023-07-09Use first class task objects instead of global counterJesse Duffield
The global counter approach is easy to understand but it's brittle and depends on implicit behaviour that is not very discoverable. With a global counter, if any goroutine accidentally decrements the counter twice, we'll think lazygit is idle when it's actually busy. Likewise if a goroutine accidentally increments the counter twice we'll think lazygit is busy when it's actually idle. With the new approach we have a map of tasks where each task can either be busy or not. We create a new task and add it to the map when we spawn a worker goroutine (among other things) and we remove it once the task is done. The task can also be paused and continued for situations where we switch back and forth between running a program and asking for user input. In order for this to work with `git push` (and other commands that require credentials) we need to obtain the task from gocui when we create the worker goroutine, and then pass it along to the commands package to pause/continue the task as required. This is MUCH more discoverable than the old approach which just decremented and incremented the global counter from within the commands package, but it's at the cost of expanding some function signatures (arguably a good thing). Likewise, whenever you want to call WithWaitingStatus or WithLoaderPanel the callback will now have access to the task for pausing/ continuing. We only need to actually make use of this functionality in a couple of places so it's a high price to pay, but I don't know if I want to introduce a WithWaitingStatusTask and WithLoaderPanelTask function (open to suggestions).
2023-07-08Wait for intro before doing any of our refresh functionsJesse Duffield
We were doing this already for fetching but not for refreshing files so I'm making it consistent.
2023-07-08Add busy count for integration testsJesse Duffield
Integration tests need to be notified when Lazygit is idle so they can progress to the next assertion / user action.
2023-04-30Begin refactoring guiJesse Duffield
This begins a big refactor of moving more code out of the Gui struct into contexts, controllers, and helpers. We also move some code into structs in the gui package purely for the sake of better encapsulation
