Some platforms, such as Arch Linux, already moved to Lua 5.4, while
offering Lua 5.3 as a separate executable, such as `/usr/bin/lua5.3`.
To be able to build awesomeWM on these platforms without extensive
shims, this change introduces a new CMake variable `LUA_EXECUTABLE`.
Its default is set by `find_program` to the usual `/usr/bin/lua`,
but allows running CMake like this:
```sh
cmake ../ \
-DLUA_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/lua5.3 \
-DLUA_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/liblua.so.5.3 \
-DLUA_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/lua5.3
```
The API level concept is something used by other projects such as
Android and iOS to allow deprecated features to be removed and the
bahavior to be altered without breaking compability with existing
code.
The same will apply to AwesomeWM. The current API level is "4" and
as long as config use this, no deprecation or bahavior change will
be exposed. If the user sets it to an higher value or we release
the next major version and new users start to use the, then current,
default config, they will use the new API level.
The the far future, if ever, we could fork the entire Lua libraries
to support legacy APIs. This would only require to keep the core
API support for those legacy calls. In the meantime, `gears.debug`
will use this to manage the deprecation and some conditional code
will be added as a last resort attempt to preserve behavior
compatibility while moving forward with breaking changes.
This library allows to get a human-readable string describing X11
requests, events, and errors. We now use this library to pretty-print
X11 errors if we get any.
To test this code, I added the following two lines to AwesomeWM so that
X11 errors are generated:
xcb_set_input_focus(globalconf.connection, 42, 42, 42);
xcb_randr_set_output_primary(globalconf.connection,
globalconf.screen->root, 42);
Output without xcb-errors:
X error: request=SetInputFocus (major 42, minor 0), error=BadValue (2)
X error: request=(null) (major 140, minor 30), error=(null) (147)
Output with xcb-errors:
X error: request=SetInputFocus (major 42, minor 0), error=Value (2)
X error: request=RandR-SetOutputPrimary (major 140, minor 30), error=RandR-BadOutput (147)

Previously, these options had two possible values: ON and OFF.
Now, they have three possible values: ON, OFF, and AUTO.
OFF still does what it always did: The feature is just disabled.
With ON and AUTO, we check for the feature. The difference is what
happens when the feature could not be enabled, e.g. because some
dependencies is missing: With AUTO, we just disable the feature (this is
what happened previously with ON). However, with ON, CMake aborts and
prints an error.

The commit also re-work the build target so if the file are deleted,
then they are created again. Using `file(COPY ...)` and
`file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ...)` as done previously caused some file to be out
of date or not being regenerated at all.
This commit also fixes some broken target that depended on `file(` and
`configure_file` CMake command not being part of any target.
Fix#2342
The documentation for the CheckFunctionExists module says that it is
better to use CheckSymbolExists and lists some reasons. For our purpose,
the reason is that check_function_exists is incompatible with -Werror.

This makes the CMake run much faster in general, and does not re-check
the dependencies every time again (since it gets cached).
There are several reports where the reference to the missing module was
not provided, and they all appear to have happened with CMake 3.6.1.
A missing "foobar" module gets reported there, but if you remove
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libstartup-notification-1.0.pc, this does not get
reported:
-- Checking for modules '…'
--
CMake Error at /tmp/cmake/share/cmake-3.6/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:424 (message):
A required package was not found
This apparently affects modules that have version requirements. After
removing that from "libstartup-notification-1.0>=0.10", it gets reported
also: "No package 'libstartup-notification-1.0' found".
The workaround is to require the package without version information
before the requirement with the version information.
This reverts https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/1253.
CMake "fakes" a call to "project(Project C CXX)" if it does not see a
project() call in CMakeLists.txt. Since we had this call in a different
file, this default applied. This meant that CMake unnecessarily required
a C++ compiler.
Fix/work-around this by moving the call to project() into CMakeLists.txt

Previously, the lgi check used the normal Lua interpreter to check if
lgi is installed. However, nothing ensures/requires that awesome is
built against the same Lua version as the Lua interpreter. This means
that if lgi is only available for some Lua version, then the check could
succeed even though awesome would later fail to start. Also, the check
might have failed even though awesome would not have any problems
finding lgi.
This commit replaces lgi-check.sh by a small C program which does the
same thing. This ensures that the same Lua version is used as awesome
will be using.
There are some places that still use the Lua interpreter: Example tests
(run through the Lua interpreter directly) and unit tests (run through
busted). For unit tests, this should not make much of a difference and
example tests might later get similar treatment.

We were only using this for tag names. This means we are assuming that
everything is UTF8, but tag names are provided in the local locale and
need to be translated into UTF8? That makes no sense, so just drop this.

This removes some @EXPANSIONS@ from Lua files and removes a hack that
was needed. All is better now! :-)

- Execute the tests without compiling, and don't mess with the source
files when coverage is enabled.
This ensures that the coverage report lines are correct.
This disables the doc tests, as their results would be unused.
Hack: it still expands macros on util.lua, because of
`util.get_themes_dir()` and `util.get_awesome_icon_dir()`, which might
be moved later. Ref:
https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/1239#discussion_r93828178.
- ensure that BUILD_APIDOC and DO_COVERAGE are not used together
- awesomeConfig.cmake: add DO_COVERAGE as an option
- Travis: only install codecov with DO_COVERAGE=codecov
- Travis: do not use set -v; use set -x with DO_COVERAGE
- do not use trailing slashes with dirs in tests/examples/CMakeLists.txt / .luacov
- Use latest luacov (0.12.0-1) again
This reverts parts of 4cc6a815.
I think it is better to fix any failure that 4cc6a815 tried to work around.
- Travis: simplify/fix require('luacov') for functionaltests
- tests/examples/CMakeLists.txt: resolve ../.. in SOURCE_DIR
- tests/examples/CMakeLists.txt: add DO_COVERAGE to env
- Cleanup/simplify .luacov: work with SOURCE_DIRECTORY alone
- tests/run.sh: pass through / set SOURCE_DIRECTORY when running awesome
- tests/run.sh: resolve source_dir
- use DO_COVERAGE from env only
It was currently done all at once. Therefore, the error message was:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:415 (message):
A required package was not found
With no further information besides the full dependency list.
With this change, it will print the missing package.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/1253.
Instead of using Xlib for parsing resource files, this now uses the
dedicated xcb-based library that is meant for exactly this task.

I don't know why we force CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to be RELEASE, but I don't think we
should do that.
This also changes the default build type to something which does not contain
-DNDEBUG in CFLAGS. This means that assert()s will start to work.

This meta-lua script takes the "raw" awesomerc.lua and turn it
into the final file and generate a documentation page from its
parsed content. It support
* Turn {{{ into markdown categories
* Turn top level comments into documentation
* Add custom documentation sections
* Parse the code to add links for each API calls
This helps generate a good entry point for new users wanting to
understand the content of rc.lua without searching the API by
hand.
Over time, this will also become the basis of the documentation.
If `rc.lua` is separated into several files, this will be easy to fix
this script. It could even do the separation itself from a monolitic
file using the already implemented {{{ parser.
This system allow containers, widgets and layouts to be listed in
the documentation with an example screenshot.
It uses raw HTML due to ldoc limitations, but as it is autogenerated,
it wont be user visible.
As the documentation generation insert increasingly large ammount
of code into the lua files, the coverage data is getting less and
less accurate. This try to fix this by only collecting such data
after the `configure_file` calls are done.
