#27097: program suggests running 'port xxx' from within the 'port' interactive
shell
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: gba@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1
Keywords: | Port:
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
= TO REPRODUCE =
1. Install MacPorts 1.9.1
2. Open the interactive 'port' shell by calling running 'port' from the
Terminal.
3. From the 'port' interactive shell run 'selfupdate'.
= EXPECTED RESULT =
1. 'selfupdate' should recommend the user run 'upgrade outdated'.
= ACTUAL RESULT =
1. 'selfupdate' recommends the user run 'port upgrade outdated'.
= LOG =
{{{
[Users/gba] > selfupdate
---> Updating the ports tree
---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 1.9.1 installed,
MacPorts base version 1.9.1 downloaded.
---> MacPorts base is already the latest version
The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you
should run
port upgrade outdated
[Users/gba] > port upgrade outdated
Unrecognized action "port"
}}}
= NOTES =
While not entirely the end of the world, even a non-naive person like
myself copy and pasted 'port upgrade outdated' verbatim back into the
interactive shell. While I realize the expected behavior is to eliminate
'port' at the beginning of the command when running from within the
interactive shell, perhaps the shell itself could interpret this and not
prepend recommended commands with 'port'?
