This adds tests for the livecheck DSL's `version` and `arch`
delegates. This doesn't affect test coverage but it ensures that the
methods work as expected in `livecheck` blocks.
This adds a `Livecheck::Options` class, which is intended to house
various configuration options that are set in `livecheck` blocks,
conditionally set by livecheck at runtime, etc. The general idea is
that when we add features involving configurations options (e.g., for
livecheck, strategies, curl, etc.), we can make changes to `Options`
without needing to modify parameters for strategy `find_versions`
methods, `Strategy` methods like `page_headers` and `page_content`,
etc. This is something that I've been trying to improve over the years
and `Options` should help to reduce maintenance overhead in this area
while also strengthening type signatures.
`Options` replaces the existing `homebrew_curl` option (which related
strategies pass to `Strategy` methods and on to `curl_args`) and the
new `url_options` (which contains `post_form` or `post_json` values
that are used to make `POST` requests). I recently added `url_options`
as a temporary way of enabling `POST` support without `Options` but
this restores the original `Options`-based implementation.
Along the way, I added a `homebrew_curl` parameter to the `url` DSL
method, allowing us to set an explicit value in `livecheck` blocks.
This is something that we've needed in some cases but I also intend
to replace implicit/inferred `homebrew_curl` usage with explicit
values in `livecheck` blocks once this is available for use. My
intention is to eventually remove the implicit behavior and only rely
on explicit values. That will align with how `homebrew_curl` options
work for other URLs and makes the behavior clear just from looking at
the `livecheck` block.
Lastly, this removes the `unused` rest parameter from `find_versions`
methods. I originally added `unused` as a way of handling parameters
that some `find_versions` methods have but others don't (e.g., `cask`
in `ExtractPlist`), as this allowed us to pass various arguments to
`find_versions` methods without worrying about whether a particular
parameter is available. This isn't an ideal solution and I originally
wanted to handle this situation by only passing expected arguments to
`find_versions` methods but there was a technical issue standing in
the way. I recently found an answer to the issue, so this also
replaces the existing `ExtractPlist` special case with generic logic
that checks the parameters for a strategy's `find_versions` method
and only passes expected arguments.
Replacing the aforementioned `find_versions` parameters with `Options`
ensures that the remaining parameters are fairly consistent across
strategies and any differences are handled by the aforementioned
logic. Outside of `ExtractPlist`, the only other difference is that
some `find_versions` methods have a `provided_content` parameter but
that's currently only used by tests (though it's intended for caching
support in the future). I will be renaming that parameter to `content`
in an upcoming PR and expanding it to the other strategies, which
should make them all consistent outside of `ExtractPlist`.
I initially set the type for livecheck's `post_form` and `post_json`
hashes to allow either a string or symbol key. I used string keys in
the documentation, as there will inevitably be some form field names
that would pose a problem for symbols (e.g., `E-mail` uses a hyphen,
`1twothree` starts with a digit, etc.). However, I remembered that we
can simply use quote symbols like `:"E-mail"` to handle these
situations, as they have the flexibility of a string while still being
a symbol.
With that in mind, this updates related type signatures to only allow
symbol keys and updates documentation and tests accordingly. The
documentation example contains a hyphenated form field, so it
demonstrates how to handle names that don't work as a bare symbol.
livecheck currently doesn't support `POST` requests but it wasn't
entirely clear how best to handle that. I initially approached it as
a `Post` strategy but unfortunately that would have required us to
handle response body parsing (e.g., JSON, XML, etc.) in some fashion.
We could borrow some of the logic from related strategies but we would
still be stuck having to update `Post` whenever we add a strategy for
a new format.
Instead, this implements `POST` support by borrowing ideas from the
`using: :post` and `data` `url` options found in formulae. This uses
a `post_form` option to handle form data and `post_json` to handle
JSON data, encoding the hash argument for each into the appropriate
format. The presence of either option means that curl will use a
`POST` request.
With this approach, we can make a `POST` request using any strategy
that calls `Strategy::page_headers` or `::page_content` (directly or
indirectly) and everything else works the same as usual. The only
change needed in related strategies was to pass the options through
to the `Strategy` methods.
For example, if we need to parse a JSON response from a `POST`
request, we add a `post_data` or `post_json` hash to the `livecheck`
block `url` and use `strategy :json` with a `strategy` block. This
leans on existing patterns that we're already familiar with and
shouldn't require any notable maintenance burden when adding new
strategies, so it seems like a better approach than a `Post` strategy.
Formulae, casks, and resources have a `#livecheckable?` method that
indicates whether they contain a `livecheck` block. This is intended
to be read as "has a livecheckable?", not "is livecheckable?" (as
livecheck can find versions for some packages/resources without a
`livecheck` block). Unfortunately, correct understanding of this
method's behavior [outside of documentation] relies on historical
knowledge that few people possess, so this is often confusing to
anyone who hasn't been working on livecheck since 2020.
In the olden days, a "livecheckable" was a Ruby file containing a
`livecheck` block (originally a hash) with a filename that
corresponded to a related formula. The `livecheck` blocks in
livecheckable files were integrated into their respective formulae in
August 2020, so [first-party] livecheckables ceased to exist at that
time. From that point forward, we simply referred to these as
`livecheck` blocks.
With that in mind, this clarifies the situation by replacing
"livecheckable" language. This includes renaming `#livecheckable?` to
`#livecheck_defined?`, replacing usage of "livecheckable" as a noun
with "`livecheck` block", replacing "livecheckable" as a boolean with
"livecheck_defined", and replacing incorrect usage of "livecheckable"
as an adjective with "checkable".
We previously added `raise TypeError` logic to the `Livecheck` DSL's
`#strategy` method. This updates the existing methods to follow suit
and modifies the tests accordingly.
