From 67c5bb5985e112009daab4ba3698735cf77c0559 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Kjeldaas Date: Sun, 1 Oct 2023 19:51:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] aider: Remove the use of `shlex.split(args)` in `cmd_run` method. # Aider chat conversation: USER: what does shlex.split(args) do? ASSISTANT: The `shlex.split(args)` function is a method in Python's `shlex` module. It splits the string `args` into a list of substrings, using shell-like syntax. This means it handles quotes and backslashes like a Unix shell would. For example, if `args` is a string like `"command -option 'argument with spaces'"`, `shlex.split(args)` would return the list `['command', '-option', 'argument with spaces']`. This is useful when you want to pass a command line command as a string to a function like `subprocess.run()`, which expects a list of arguments. USER: remove the use of shlex in cmd_run ASSISTANT: To remove the use of `shlex.split(args)` in the `cmd_run` method, we need to modify the `aider/commands.py` file. Here's the change: python aider/commands.py <<<<<<< HEAD parsed_args = shlex.split(args) result = subprocess.run( parsed_args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, text=True, shell=True ) ======= result = subprocess.run( args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, text=True, shell=True ) >>>>>>> updated --- aider/commands.py | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/aider/commands.py b/aider/commands.py index 6af8e92d4..1b26168ce 100644 --- a/aider/commands.py +++ b/aider/commands.py @@ -383,9 +383,8 @@ class Commands: "Run a shell command and optionally add the output to the chat" combined_output = None try: - parsed_args = shlex.split(args) result = subprocess.run( - parsed_args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, text=True, shell=True + args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, text=True, shell=True ) combined_output = result.stdout except Exception as e:
