EvaluateTask was holding references to SafeState that could be quite
large. This was reported as #5992. In that project, I ran the `ci` task
and observed the OOM as reported. I took a heap dump prior to OOM and
got the retained size graph from visualvm (which took hours to compute).
The lastEvaluatedState was holding a reference to SafeState that was
1.7GB. The project max heap size was set to 2GB. Instead of using the
lastEvaluatedState, we can just use StandardMain.exchange.withState.
The cached instances of state were used for task cancellation and
completions. While it is possible that early on in booting
StandardMain.exchange.withState could return a null state, in practice
this won't happen because it is set early on during the sbt boot
commands.
After this change, I successfully ran the `ci` task in the #5992 issue
project with the same memory parameters as their ci config.
The ConsoleAppender formatEnabledInEnv field was being used both as an
indicator that ansi codes were supported and that color codes are
enabled. There are cases in which general ansi codes are not supported
but color codes are and these use cases need to be handled separately.
To make things more explicit, this commit adds isColorEnabled and
isAnsiSupported to the Terminal companion object so that we can be more
specific about what the requirements are (general ansi escape codes or
just colors). There are a few cases in ConsoleAppender itself where
formatEnabledInEnv was used to set flags for both color and ansi codes.
When that is the case, we use Terminal.isAnsiSupported because when that
is true, colors should at least work but there are terminals that
support color but not general ansi escape codes.
Some of the sbt scripted tests somewhat frequently hang in CI. I added a
patch that printed a stack trace of the sbt process every 30 seconds. I
discovered that the main thread was stuck in DefaultBackgroundJobService
shutdown. To avoid the hangs, I updated the awaitTermination methods to
take a timeout parameter and we timeout shutdown if 10 seconds have
elapsed.
I noticed that when using the scala 2.12 console with the thin client
that there was weird behavior for the first few seconds of the session.
When prompted with 'scala> ' I would type a letter, say v, and the
output would be 'scala>v' instead of 'scala> v'. It turned out that this
was because the NetworkChannel was returning a stale value for
isEchoEnabled. This happened because NetworkChannel has a method
getProperties that is rate limited under the assumption that the
properties rarely change. This made sense for things like
isAnsiSupported or isSuperShellEnabled but not isEchoEnabled. It is
straightforward to fix this by actually getting the terminal attributes
and checking if the echo flag is set.
It is possible for an InterruptedException to be thrown here because of
logic in NetworkClient. This seemed to be the root cause of the fix I
tried in ca251eb7c8 so I'm reverting that
commit.
Revert "Catch interrupted exception in shell"
This reverts commit ca251eb7c8.
In 64c0f0acdd, I attempted to safely close
all of the completion services when the user inputs ctrl+c. I have
noticed though that sometimes sbt crashes in CI with the
RejectedExecutionException thrown by submit. To avoid throwing when
there was no cancellation, I slightly modified the shutdown logic to not
shutdown the completion service whil still shutting down the underlying
thread pool.
It can be useful for plugin and build authors to have access to some of
the virtual terminal properties. For instance, when writing a task that
needs a password, the author may wish to put the terminal in raw mode
with echo disabled. This commit introduces a new Terminal trait at the
sbt level and a corresponding task, terminal, that provides a basic
terminal api. The Terminal returned by the terminal task will correspond
to the terminal that initiated the task so that it should work with sbtn
as well as in console mode.
Neither NetworkTerminal.getAttributes nor NetworkTerminal.setAttributes
worked correctly because they were sending the wrong json method name.
This wasn't noticeable because neither of these methods had previously
been used by sbt.
I noticed that no-op compile was slower in
https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/5508 using 1.4.0-RC2 than 1.4.0-RC1.
It took around 400ms with 1.4.0-RC2 and 200-250ms on RC1. Git bisect
brought me to 41afe9fbdb which I
remembered I'd been slightly concerned about from a performance
perspective but didn't get around to testing. The problem is that we
were blocking the task from running while determing whether or not we
should force a progress report. We can do that work on the background
thread instead so the task can begin running immediately.
The conditional for whether to make task progress events repeatable was
inverted. This wasn't actually noticeable because the function
doReport() was being schedule which had a guard to prevent it from
running more frequently than the report period.
Certain tasks may prefer to have the input set to raw mode and/or have
echo off. The specific use case is that it is difficult to get the
ammonite console to work correctly with the thin client. The problem is
that the ammonite console runs some tty commands. These commands will
only work on the tty of the thin client when the thin client itself has
launched the sbt server session (since they share the same tty). Once
the thin client that launched the server exits, the ammonite console
will never work again with that server session. A workaround is to
launch sbt separately and leave that server session open. Then, if the
run task is configured with canonical input set to false and echo
disabled, the thin client will work. In the future, it's possible that
ammonite could be updated to not rely on calling stty commands and then
the thin client could work with the ammonite console even after the
initial thin client session has exited provided canonical input and echo
are disabled.
