This is done through 3 main change groups:
- replacing `~s` by `~ts` in format strings, so that strings that
contain unicode are properly printed rather than crashing
- adding the `unicode` argument to all function of the `re` module to
ensure transformations on strings containing unicode data are valid
instead of crashing (see issue #1302)
- replacing `ec_cnv:to_binary/1` and `ec_cnv:to_list/1` with matching
functions in `rebar_utils`.
The last point has been done, rather than modifying and updating erlware
commons, because binary and list conversions can be a contentious
subject. For example, if what is being handled is actually bytes from a
given binary stream, then forcing a byte-oriented interpretation of the
data can corrupt it. As such, it does not appear safe to modify erlware
commons' conversion functions since it may not be safe for all its
users.
Instead, rebar3 reimplements a subset of them (only converting
atoms and chardata, ignoring numbers) with the explicit purpose of
handling unicode string data.
Tests were left as unchanged as possible. This may impact the ability to
run rebar3's own suites in a unicode path, but respects a principle of
least change for such a large patch.
- the internal representation for package locks moves from `{Name, {pkg,
PkgName, Vsn}, Lvl}` to `{Name, {pkg, PkgName, Vsn, Hash}, Lvl}`
- the internal representation for packages moves from `{pkg, PkgName,
Vsn}` to `{pkg, PkgName, Vsn, Hash}`
- the hash can be `undefined`, meaning no check will be done
- no checking is done yet.
Instead fetching and resolving src deps (which could depend on pkg deps)
and then pkg deps this patch combines the two into a single set of
iterations by level. The only difference between src and pkg deps in this
new install_deps is how their deps list is found -- from the config or
lock file for src deps and from the neighbors of the vertex for pkg.
- The rebar package index files have been moved off the default path and
will require a new `rebar3 update`
- Caching of downloaded packages automatically takes place in a path
relative to the CDN used
- The cache path is not shared with hex as we now write and modify data
in there arbitrarily
- Basic tests plus the working set for more of them is included
