Fixes #1835

Now implemented as a modifier of the comment scope

I decided to implement this as a scope type instead of a modifier. Now you can say things like chuck fat comment or changed next fat alpha. This behavior of having alternatives to existing scopes is already something we started with BoundedNonWhitespaceSequenceStage albeit in a less capacity.

Checklist

  • I have added tests
  • [-] I have updated the docs and cheatsheet
  • I have not broken the cheatsheet

seems like a good implementation approach. left some comments. also, please add some tests with "next" / "previous", and be sure to test boundaries on edges of scopes and between constituent scopes

Well this code simplified nicely 😄. Left a couple more comments

I'm not convinced this function is correct. Eg corner cases like single scope not adjacent to others that's last in the file. To me it looks like if you've already yielded anything, then the final yield after the loop body won't fire.

Some proper unit tests for ContiguousScopeHandler would help. See https://github.com/cursorless-dev/cursorless/blob/main/packages/cursorless-engine/src/processTargets/modifiers/scopeHandlers/BaseScopeHandler.test.ts if you're not sure how to do unit tests for this kinda thing. There's a limit to how far you can get using existing scopes

Actually might make sense to hold off on unit tests for the following reasons:

  1. Your code actually looks at document text, unlike the test I linked, so might be harder to mock that properly
  2. On second thought, I think your code is probably correct
  3. I'm actually not convinced of the utility of this contiguous scope thing 😅. The only example I saw that was actually useful was "comment", and tbh I'd be tempted to just automatically merge adjacent single-line comments, as we could target a single one using "line". And I worry users will try "fat arg" to get something like Support "all" modifier #473, and then be surprised when it breaks if there's a comment between args. So maybe we ship this with slightly fewer tests, maybe marked private? idk

Update from discussion today:

  • We agreed "comment" is the only use case we can come up with, and we probably just want that to be default behaviour for line comments
  • If @josharian wants to fight for supporting "fat" for arbitrary scopes, then we might keep it; otherwise it dies
  • We potentially could reuse this code to make contiguous be default behaviour for comment

looking at these test cases, i think it should die

Sounds good. Any opinion on making single-line comments behave this way by default? (Ie auto expand to all comments that aren't separated by an empty line)

Update from meet-up: let's do the following:

(
  (comment) @comment
  (#match? @comment "^//")
  (#contiguous! @comment)
)
(comment) @comment

We both don't love this option or the option in this PR, but it's the best we can do with what we have today. Fwiw we would prefer something like

(
  (comment) @comment
  ($if
    (#match? @comment "^//")
    (#contiguous! @comment)
  )
)

but that's a bit out of scope here 😅

do we want to throw an error if there's more than one target? Should we have a utility function function ensureSingleTarget(scope: Scope): Target that checks there's only one target and returns it? That worked out well for ensureSingleEditor I think

Reused our existing and shore single target. They should really never trigger with our current implementation so am fine with using an error message that might not be perfect.

@pokey @josharian The current implementation now only effects the command scope type and there is no spoken form for it.

This file is now general enough to be used with most scopes. If we wanted to we could remove a bunch of code here and rely on the fact that we only use it for comments. I could go either way.

Won't this cause adjacent multiline comments to be merged as well? eg

/*
 * foo
 */
/*
 * bar
 */

Looking at this, it feels like not a particularly big deal 😅. But figured I'd point it out as I don't think it quite matches what we discussed

Yes unless we make this more comment specific and check for single line ranges. Ideally we would have single and multi-line as separate scopes and only use this for single line.

Or add a new predicate for contiguous scope. That is probably the best solution?

hmm so the predicate would just set a flag on the capture. I think that sounds reasonable?

@AndreasArvidsson

Yes exactly.

There is no problem really with this implementation except for the fact that in javascript there is no Tree sitter difference between block and line comments. I guess that contiguous predicate could take a boolean that requires single line ranges? Or a regex pattern?

edit: Solved with a regex pattern

I thought you were using a query predicate for this now

We use both. I don't know how to check it at this stage. When we actually fetch the matched scope it's to late to inject this handler. Not without a lot of rewrites at least.

Sorry I'm not following how you would use both. When do you use one vs the other?

This code decides to use the handler. Then the scope.contiguous is used to determine when to merge two scopes. That way we can ignore block comments.
