Common-utils: various cleaning things from other pr. #653

naturedamends · 2023-08-13T20:32:02Z

Proposal

Enable usage of the installOhMyZshConfig flag within Microsoft base dev container images.

Since images may have had previous installs which come with commom-utils. This allows the config option to function as stated.

failed proposal

This is now just cleaning up the file and fixes some issues with the flag for non root usernames.

Tests are failing locally due to a permissions issue writing to ~/.oh-my-zsh owned by vscode as user root.

Testing the marked flag I have is a little hard since I would need to build a base image within a test, since the avaliable base images have old version of the source code, and thus no flag.

Tests stoped failing when changed to coping the template path to both destinations...

Should the link exist? I'm not sure, its just getting copied to root. If scripts append to the user, is it appropriate for root rc to reference it in the context of a dev container?

+# Given previous step configured ~/.zshrc,
+# When installOhMyZshConfig is false, done before INSTALL_ZSH since
+#  Or where installOhMyZshconfig false, and installZsh false
+# Then remove the file


With the PR changes installOhMyZshConfig would behave completely different as compared to other Feature options.

For eg. Let's say an image (say X) installs common-utils as follows -

"features": { "common-utils": { "installZsh": true, } }

Then a user creates their devcontainer.json as 👇

{ "image": "X", "features": { "common-utils": { "installZsh": false } } }

"installZsh": false

Does this mean the Feature should remove the zsh installation? I don't think that the Features should remove an existing functionality, however, should only update or add new tools/configs/themes.

When a user add a Feature to their devcontainer.json, it is assumed that the "installZsh": false option would NOT install zsh but it doesn't mean that it should remove the already existing zsh. This behavior could create confusions and removing something is always a bit risky. I think we should avoid this approach.

@naturedamends Let me know what you think!

Maybe, remove the file, if zshrc exists and installZshConfig false and installZsh true?

Or do you not like the file being removed at all?

Should I remove the source of zshrc added in tests? Such that it's not executed within within build runtime. Then again.. it's a container

Or do you not like the file being removed at all?

This ☝️
You never know if the zsh config has been modified by the dockerfiles (or something else), hence, it's best to avoid removing anything. Also, removing config makes sense only if the Feature had an option like removeZshConfig , but doesn't seem like that's needed.

Hose about linking ~/.zshrc to .zshrc.devcontainer.

Then downstream can handle, or ln -sf?

mkdir -p "${user_home}"

chown ${USERNAME}:${group_name} "${user_home}"

configures user_home, hence, should this be added after that?

Yeah good catch. I want a clean home directory, so if im going to program this, I want it before any rc files. Not sure how much of a pain this is going to be

I came to the conclusion that you would not want any related flags in common-utils

Is the shell-setup feature going to be in features repo?
Then would it be prudent to add a flag to prevent any rc generation here

Thus you can enable the following to get equal functionality:
Common-utils rc false
Shell-setup shell zsh

I'm not familiar with any other fancy shells. Other than one I heard of that has a consistent output table format.

Would you consider adding a shell-setup to the features repo?

Sorry for bad grammar on tablet

+            chown -R root:root "${omz_added_filesnames[@]/#//root/}"


Curious, why is this needed?

Security. User scripts making it into root and being sourced.

Would be tempted to copy from a mktmp-d. To prevent copying any unknown files

Ie custom shell scripts
Or scripts appended to users linked template

Nvm. I will close pr.
