Summary

expectsize(<set>, <int>) revset fails if <set> is not exactly <int> elements.
expectsize(<set>, <min:max>) revset fails if <set> is not exactly between
<min> and <max> inclusive.
one(<set>) alias for expectsize(<set>, 1).

This then allows an alias for hg next to be update -r one(children(.))
with sane failure behavior, and also makes some other scripting tasks
a little less difficult.

This then allows an alias for hg next to be update -r one(children(.))
with sane failure behavior, and also makes some other scripting tasks
a little less difficult.

Just for record, hg next has a nice prompt if there are multiple childrens. So the expect or one revset might not be very useful there.

it will be good if we add the length of revset in the error message here.

why are we special casing 1 here?

I am not sure why we need this. @durin42 might have thoughts on this.

@pulkit Thanks for the quick review! I've updated the revision with the suggested changes. @durin42 It would be great if you let us know your opinion on one(<set>) as an alias for expect(<set>, 1). I did it as it was present in WeShouldDoThat page.

+@predicate('expect(set[, size[, min, max]])', safe=True, takeorder=True)

First, I think the word expect is too general. Perhaps, this should be called
expectsize() or expectlen().

It's also unclear what's the difference between size and min/max.
Instead of these parameters, maybe we can add a size parameter that takes
a number or a range min:max. See also the following patch.

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2019-February/127916.html

+ if len(rev) != n:
+ raise error.Abort(_('revset is not of expected size'))

Better to raise RepoLookupError so the error can be caught by present(...).

+ return rev

You need to filter rev by subset. Since we'll probably want to get an ordered
result from expect(set), we'll have to conditionalize the filtering direction:

if order == followorder:
    return subset & rev
else:
    return rev & subset

You can try out some combinations of expect(5:0) & 1:10 and
10:1 & expect(0:5).

Unfortunately, I can't see this in hg-stable which I was working.

For sure. I could do that.

+ return rev

I got into many errors while using this. I might be not understanding this correctly. Could you please elaborate?

Can you share your failed attempt?

Maybe you can get how revset works by testing expression with
hg debugrevspec -v.

I somehow managed to meet your requirements in the current revision @yuja. Please let me know if I missed out something there.

Nit: the test outputs look unnecessarily verbose. Use log (not hg log)
instead.

+def expectrevsetsize(repo, subset, x, order, n=None):

+ args = getargsdict(x, 'expect', 'set size')
+ size = args.get('size', n)
+ if size is not None:
+ try:
+ # size is given as integer range on expectsize(<set>, <intrange>)

The helper function has been queued. Can you rewrite this to use the
getintrange helper?

+ if len(rev) not in range(size[0], size[1]+1):

range() builds a list of integers on Python 2, which isn't what we want.
Python does support not (x <= y <= z) syntax, so you can just compare
integer bounds.

+@predicate('one(set)', safe=True, takeorder=True)
+def one(repo, subset, x, order):
+ """An alias for expect(<set>, 1)"""
+ return expectrevsetsize(repo, subset, x, order, n=1)

Can you remove one() from this patch?

I don't follow the original proposal, but I guess one() would be meant to
a user-defined alias (i.e. revsetalias.one(x) = expectsize(x, 1)).

@yuja I've updated the revision with the suggested changes.

Maybe needs to specify the default min/max values to e.g. possible min/max
values or None.

+ if minsize != maxsize:
+ size = (minsize, maxsize)
+ else:
+ size = minsize
+ if size is None or 'set' not in args:
+ raise error.ParseError(_('invalid set of arguments'))
+ rev = getset(repo, fullreposet(repo), args['set'], order=order)
+ if isinstance(size, tuple):
+ if len(rev) < minsize or len(rev) > maxsize:
+ raise error.RepoLookupError(
+ _('revset size mismatch.'

+ if isinstance(size, int):
+ if len(rev) != size:
+ raise error.RepoLookupError(
+ _('revset size mismatch.'
+ ' expected %d, got %d') % (size, len(rev)))

There's no point to duplicate these "if"s because both minsize/maxsize should
be set. We could switch the error messages by minsize == maxsize, but which
doesn't mean we need different size types depending on minsize/maxsize values.

Nit: this comment seems unnecessary since it just rephrase the code.

+ return subset & rev
+ else:
+ return rev & subset

Getting close.

nit-pick is resolved. getintrange() will throw a ParseError on setting size to one of min:, :max or :. In ideal case, on calling from expectsize() it shouldn't fail.

nit-pick is resolved. `getintrange()` will throw a `ParseError` on setting size to one of `min:`, `:max` or `:`. In ideal case, on calling from `expectsize()` it shouldn't fail.

So you need to pass in the default min/max values to getintrange().
The default min can be just 0. The default max can be len(repo) + 1
(i.e. # of null:tip) for example, or None and test maxsize is not None
explicitly.

Fixed function name and queued, thanks.

Can you improve this documentation as a follow-up? We should mentioned about specifying ranges, and also if the set has the given size, that set is returned.

Doing that right away!
