PR 16130 deprecate symbol ==> Symbol #16130

Note: (from @hayd) this was eventually merged in #16154 (originally #15995).

PR 16130 deprecate symbol ==> Symbol (clean version)
[apologies for needing three PR numbers to do one thing]

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T01:22:58Z

corrected one problem -- force pushed the change into the single commit.
how do I get AppVeyor and Travis to recheck? never mind -- I see they are doing it

hayd · 2016-04-30T01:40:27Z

It looks like you're yet to address all @stevengj's comments from #15995. In future it's better IMO to force push to the original branch / PR. That way those comments become become "outdated diffs" once they are fixed.

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T01:48:58Z

@hayd I know you are correct. I am very unfamiliar with this process and after trying it the 'right way' umpteen times without success I was able to proceed this less than perfect way. Regarding @stevengj's comments, as there was an unexpected, indirect conflict that arose when I did attempt incorporating his comments -- one that I did not know how to fix, on the advice of others I went back to the original purpose which was to replace symbol with Symbol. Once this is clean, the checks are good and it can be accepted, then it is possible to readdress the additional suggestions in a separate PR.

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T03:31:38Z

The last change was to comment out a test in replutil.jl (done in accord with prior advice). The advice (as I understood it) was to eliminate the test involving Symbol generating: "expected failure but no error thrown" because this failure mode was no longer relevant.
[waiting for AppVeyor to see if I got the right one]

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T03:35:46Z

The test commented out is at lines 230-2 of test/replutil.jl

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T04:22:22Z

This began as #15995 and took a detour into #16308 before coming to rest here.

tkelman · 2016-04-30T09:24:22Z

test/replutil.jl

-    @test contains(err_str, "MethodError: no method matching Symbol()")
+    #PR 16130 (Symbol)
+    #err_str = @except_str Symbol() MethodError
+    #@test contains(err_str, "MethodError: no method matching Symbol()")


how about using some other type that doesn't have a 0-argument constructor? that would capture the point of this test

@tkelman I did not realize that here Symbol() is not important as Symbol per se. I will see how this works substituting Float64(), which generates a MethodError

nalimilan · 2016-04-30T14:06:07Z

Apart from the comment this looks good to me!

Jeffrey-Sarnoff · 2016-04-30T18:47:02Z

@nalimilan @tkelman The only change was to remove the comment
(both checks before that change worked).
"Build execution time has reached the maximum allowed time for your plan (120 minutes)."
Should I restart Appveyor? How do I do that?

nalimilan · 2016-04-30T19:06:41Z

That's a random failure, next time it will likely succeed.

Let's merge this?

hayd · 2016-04-30T20:12:39Z

Has symbol been deprecated or removed?

JeffreySarnoff · 2016-04-30T20:48:32Z

symbol has been deprecated

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T21:08:53Z

@hayd OOPS! nice catch -- that got lost in translation -- remedying now

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T21:22:15Z

@hayd symbol is once again deprecated, but now there are conflicts and this is where I have had trouble. Each time I have tried to fix a merge conflict, I have messed up my repository.
And I don't know what the conflict is; I see " Can’t automatically merge. Don’t worry, you can still create the pull request."
.

nalimilan · 2016-04-30T21:22:32Z

Damn, there are conflicts with master again. Could you rebase?

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T21:25:35Z

@nalimilan I did rebase locally -- and I could push that up to github ... but each time I did that in the past, there was trouble. After pushing the correction to deprecated.jl, here is what I did locally:
git fetch
git rebase -i origin/master
[a git-rebase-todo file opened in an editor, it was empty and I left it so]

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T21:26:39Z

@nalimilan git says "Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/jas/deprecate_symbol"
locally

KristofferC · 2016-04-30T21:31:59Z

I don't think you want to interactively rebase. Just git rebase origin/master should try to replay your PR on top of the lastest commit on the master branch. When a commit fails to merge git will yell at you and if you do git status you can see what files have a merge conflict. Fix these, add them with git add and then run git rebase --continue. Rinse and repeat.

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T21:38:58Z

@KristofferC for me "master" is https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff-dev/julia which is now 6 commits behind JuliaLang:master. my "upstream" is ..JuliaLang/julia.git. And I have no more commits, I could edit the commit message in an inconsequential way if I need to be able to force push something that is local.
What should I do to get to the point that git rebase master does what you suggest?

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T21:40:23Z

@KristofferC git status is telling me that (locally) I am on branch jas/deprecate_symbol and "Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/jas/decprecate_symbol'

nalimilan · 2016-04-30T21:44:03Z

git rebase origin/master should use the "real" master, not the one from your clone.

nalimilan · 2016-04-30T21:47:32Z

Have a look at the GitHub docs to understand how all of this works. In particular:
https://help.github.com/articles/good-resources-for-learning-git-and-github/
https://help.github.com/articles/resolving-a-merge-conflict-from-the-command-line/

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T21:56:15Z

@nalimilan I understand how git works .. I just don't like it. I have been using an app, SmartGit, along with using command line git because the app prevents me from doing some things wrong. It may set me to do other things oddly. It is that app that 'decided' origin is my github branch and upstream is JuliaLang. My local master branch points up to my github fork. Right now, I need use git on the command line to rebase things using JuliaLang master so I can see the conflicts and then address them. Any guidance is welcome -- not about how git works, about how to play this current game of cat's cradle to properly re-entangle things.

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T22:03:39Z

When I close the git-assist App, it goes away and I can do anything I want from the command line. Should I restart that app, it just picks up from whatever state the git repository is in right then.

hayd · 2016-04-30T22:12:06Z

Using upstream for JuliaLang is good, the only difference is you have to do git rebase upstream/master. You may also have to first explicitly git fetch upstream, depending on your git version/setup.

Note: The conflict is just in the deprecated.jl.

My advice is not to use a git app (or git within your IDE) until you have understood everything that the app/ide is doing at every step of the process.

jeffreysarnoff-dev · 2016-04-30T22:13:24Z

@hayd Thank you.

You have a lot of unrelated changes in this file.

EDIT: not a lot, just this one and sprandbool below.

I unattached the PR from the github branch -- pls see 16150 which is running the checks
if that does not do it, I will post the file of sed commands that does all the changing (which exists).
