v0.7.2 (bêta)

TermDevTools v0.7.2 (beta)

Version française : CHANGELOG_fr.md

In one sentence: TermDevTools installs with go install, and completion keeps the query after the cursor and accepts a leading /.

What's new

• go install github.com/gnocent/termdevtools@latest: the module now has the repository's path, and versions are tagged with three numbers (v0.7.2), the form Go recognizes. The binary goes to GOBIN, or $(go env GOPATH)/bin when it is unset. Prebuilt binaries remain the recommended way.
• --version without a stamped version: a binary installed with go install gives the version installed, and one built with a plain go build in a clone gives the version Go derives from git (v0.7.3-0.<date>-<commit>, with +dirty if files were modified) instead of dev. go run still says dev.

Completion

• Query after the cursor: completing _cat/ind in GET _cat/ind?format=json gives _cat/indices?v&format=json — the candidate's default parameters and your query under a single ? — instead of a second ?. Your query is kept as typed, and a key you set replaces the default with the same key.
• Leading /: GET /_cat/pl completed nothing; it now gives GET /_cat/plugins?v, keeping the /. A /_cat/... entry in an endpoints.txt is also recognized as a _cat command, so its columns complete too.
• A type-ahead search that matches nothing: Enter no longer inserts the entry left selected by an earlier search; it does nothing until the search is corrected (Backspace), cancelled (Esc) or replaced by an explicit choice — arrows, Tab, PgUp/PgDn, Home/End, or a click on an entry.

Development

• tools/testclusters.sh runs with the /bin/bash 3.2 of macOS, and a test rejects the Bash 4 constructs that broke it.

Thanks to @efd6 for the request (#1) and to @amineamanzou for the changes (#3, #4, #6).

Before upgrading from 0.7

• Nothing to do: config.yaml, saved requests and reference files are read as before.
• Completion: Enter right after a type-ahead search that found nothing no longer inserts anything; pick an entry with the arrows or a click.

Checks

• go vet and go test ./... pass, run on Windows: unit tests, end-to-end tests of the interface on a simulated screen — completion with both Elasticsearch's and OpenSearch's reference data — and a real go install of the module, served from a local proxy, offline.
• govulncheck: no known vulnerability, neither in the dependencies nor in the standard library of Go 1.27.2, which the binaries are built with.
• The reference data (recipes, endpoints, _cat columns) has not changed since 0.6, and its checks against eleven real clusters are those of 0.6.
• The test cluster script was not run on a Mac.
• No independent external audit was carried out.

Known limits

• go install …@v0.7.1 and earlier versions do not work: they declared another module path.
• The limits of 0.7 still apply: see the changelog.

Binaries

One self-sufficient file per platform — no archive and no companion file:

• termdevtools-linux-amd64 — Linux x86-64 (static binary)
• termdevtools-windows-amd64.exe — Windows 10/11 x64
• termdevtools-darwin-arm64 — macOS Apple Silicon
• SHA256SUMS — SHA-256 checksums of the three files

Download the file for your platform and SHA256SUMS, check it (sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing on Linux), make it executable (chmod +x, Linux and macOS), run it: termdevtools --version answers termdevtools v0.7.2. The binaries are not signed. Step by step, platform by platform: INSTALL.md (français).
