Currently When performing a system upgrade, Yay will first refresh the
database then perform the repo and AUR upgrade. This allows Yay to add
some features such as better batch interaction, showing potential
dependency problems before the upgrade starts and combined menus
showing AUR and repo upgrades together.
There has been discussion that this approach is a bad idea. The main issue
people have is that the separation of the database refresh and the upgrade
could lead to a partial upgrade if Yay fails between the two stages.
Personally I do not like this argument, there are valid reasons to Yay
to fail between these points. For example there may be dependency or
conflict issues during the AUR upgrade. Yay can detect these before any
installing actually starts and exit, just like how pacman will when
there are dependency problems.
If Yay does fail between these points, for the previously mentioned
reasons or even a crash then a simple refresh will not cause a
partial upgrade by itself. It is then the user's responsibility
to either resolve these issues or instead perform an upgrade using
pacman directly.
My opinions aside, The discussions on the Arch wiki has reached
a decision, this method is not recommended. So to follow the decided
best practises this behaviour has been disabled by default.
This behaviour can be toggled using the --[no]combinedupgrade flag
It should be noted that Yay's upgrade menu will not show repo packages
unless --combinedupgrade is used.
There were several calls to fmt.Errorf in setPaths where the returned error was not
being used. This was indicated by ```make test``` as shown here:
```
make test
gofmt -l *.go
go vet
./main.go:16: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:21: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:25: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:30: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:35: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:39: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
make: *** [Makefile:43: test] Error 2
```
With these changes the tests now all pass with no errors.
Check if enviroment variables are set instead if they are empty strings.
Don't care if the dir exists just take the path at face value.
Error if $HOME and the respective $XDG.. variables are not set.
add22f5957 added error checks to all the
passToPacman commands. This makes `yay -Q nonexistantpackage` return
non 0 as it should. Annoyingly it also made yay print `exit status = n`
which is the error string from passToPacman calls. This error doesn't
add much and is quite annoying, expecially when calling pacman commands
like `-Q` or `-Si` where yay should be kind of 'hidden' and print just
like pacman does.
Now set the error string to "" for pacman commands and don't print an
error if it == "" (avoids empty line printed).
Also behave more like pacman when using `yay -Qu`.
