Summary

Introduces a new hk util subcommand system for utility operations, starting with hk util trailing-whitespace for detecting and fixing trailing whitespace in files.

Motivation

Replace bash scripts in builtins with Rust implementations for:

  • Better testability - Unit tests in Rust, not just integration tests
  • Better readability - No complex bash escaping or heredocs
  • Cross-platform compatibility - Works consistently across Linux/macOS/Windows
  • Type safety - Compile-time checks for correctness

Features

Command Usage

# Check for trailing whitespace
hk util trailing-whitespace file1.txt file2.txt

# Fix trailing whitespace
hk util trailing-whitespace --fix *.txt

Behavior

  • Check mode: Prints files with trailing whitespace, exits 1 if any found
  • Fix mode: Removes trailing whitespace, exits 1 if any changes made
  • Smart filtering: Automatically skips non-text files using file command
  • Whitespace types: Detects spaces, tabs, and mixed trailing whitespace

Builtin Integration

import "package://github.com/jdx/hk/releases/download/v1.2.0/[email protected]#/Builtins.pkl"

hooks {
    ["check"] {
        steps {
            ["trailing-ws"] = Builtins.trailing_whitespace
        }
    }
}

The builtin now calls hk util trailing-whitespace instead of bash scripts.

Implementation

New Files

  • src/cli/util.rs - Util subcommand module with trailing-whitespace implementation
  • pkl/builtins/trailing_whitespace.pkl - Builtin that calls the util command
  • test/util_trailing_whitespace.bats - Bats integration tests

Code Structure

pub struct Util {
    #[clap(subcommand)]
    command: UtilCommands,
}

enum UtilCommands {
    TrailingWhitespace(TrailingWhitespace),
    // Future: EndOfFile, MixedLineEnding, etc.
}

Designed for easy extension with additional utilities.

Testing

Rust Unit Tests (4 tests)

Located in src/cli/util.rs:

#[test]
fn test_has_trailing_whitespace() { ... }

#[test]
fn test_no_trailing_whitespace() { ... }

#[test]
fn test_fix_trailing_whitespace() { ... }

#[test]
fn test_fix_already_clean() { ... }

Run with: cargo test

Bats Integration Tests (9 tests)

Located in test/util_trailing_whitespace.bats:

  • Detects trailing whitespace
  • Fixes trailing whitespace
  • Handles multiple files
  • Skips binary files
  • Detects various whitespace types (space, tab, mixed)
  • Integrates with hk check/fix via builtin

Run with: mise run test:bats test/util_trailing_whitespace.bats

Before/After Comparison

Old Builtin (bash)

trailing_whitespace = new Config.Step {
    glob = "*"
    check_first = true
    shell = "bash -o errexit -c"
    check_list_files = """
status=0
for file in {{files}}; do
    if [[ "$(file -b --mime-type "$file")" != text/* ]]; then
        continue
    fi
    if grep -q '[[:space:]]$' "$file"; then
        echo "$file"
        status=1
    fi
done
exit $status
"""
    fix = new Config.Script {
        linux = "sed -i 's/[[:space:]]*$//' {{files}}"
        macos = "sed -i '' 's/[[:space:]]*$//' {{files}}"
    }
}

New Builtin (Rust)

trailing_whitespace = new Config.Step {
    glob = "*"
    check = "hk util trailing-whitespace {{files}}"
    fix = "hk util trailing-whitespace --fix {{files}}"
    tests {
        ["removes trailing whitespace"] { ... }
        ["detects trailing whitespace"] { ... }
        ["passes clean files"] { ... }
    }
}

Future Utilities

The hk util framework is designed to support additional utilities:

  • hk util end-of-file - Ensure files end with newline
  • hk util mixed-line-ending - Detect/fix mixed line endings
  • hk util check-merge-conflict - Detect merge conflict markers
  • hk util detect-private-key - Detect private keys
  • etc.

These can all be migrated from bash to Rust incrementally.

Testing Instructions

# Run Rust unit tests
cargo test util::tests

# Run bats integration tests
mise run test:bats test/util_trailing_whitespace.bats

# Manual test
echo "trailing  " > test.txt
hk util trailing-whitespace test.txt  # Should fail and print "test.txt"
hk util trailing-whitespace --fix test.txt  # Should fix
cat test.txt  # Should be "trailing" (no trailing space)

Note

Introduces a Rust-based hk util trailing-whitespace command with builtin integration, updates docs, and adds tests; also tweaks path handling and docs/scripts.

  • CLI:
    • Add hk util with trailing-whitespace subcommand (src/cli/util.rs), including detection/fix logic and unit tests; wire into CLI (src/cli/mod.rs).
  • Builtins:
    • Add Builtins.trailing_whitespace and implementation (pkl/builtins/trailing_whitespace.pkl), export in pkl/Builtins.pkl.
    • Docs: document builtin under Special Purpose and update count to “70+”.
  • Docs:
    • Add hk util page (docs/cli/util.md) and link from CLI index; add eslint script in docs/package.json.
  • Tests:
    • New integration tests for util (test/util_trailing_whitespace.bats).
    • Adjust existing tests for PATH/CARGO_TARGET_DIR, shell usage, and error output matching.
  • Config/Build:
    • Update mise.toml and test helpers to prefer {{ env.CARGO_TARGET_DIR }}/debug in PATH.

Introduces a new `hk util` subcommand for utility operations, starting with
trailing-whitespace detection and fixing.

## Features

- **hk util trailing-whitespace <files>** - Check for trailing whitespace
- **hk util trailing-whitespace --fix <files>** - Remove trailing whitespace
- Automatically skips non-text files
- Exit code 1 if issues found/fixed, 0 if clean

## Implementation

- New `src/cli/util.rs` module with extensible subcommand structure
- Rust implementation replaces bash scripts for better:
  - Testability (unit tests in Rust)
  - Readability (no complex bash escaping)
  - Cross-platform compatibility
- `trailing_whitespace` builtin now calls `hk util trailing-whitespace`

## Testing

**Rust unit tests** (4 tests in src/cli/util.rs):
- test_has_trailing_whitespace
- test_no_trailing_whitespace
- test_fix_trailing_whitespace
- test_fix_already_clean

**Bats integration tests** (9 tests in test/util_trailing_whitespace.bats):
- Detection of trailing whitespace
- Fixing trailing whitespace
- Multiple files support
- Binary file skipping
- Various whitespace types (space, tab, mixed)
- Builtin integration with hk check/fix

## Example Usage

```bash
# Check files
hk util trailing-whitespace file1.txt file2.txt

# Fix files
hk util trailing-whitespace --fix *.txt

# Via builtin
hk.pkl:
  hooks {
    ["check"] {
      steps {
        ["trailing-ws"] = Builtins.trailing_whitespace
      }
    }
  }
```

Replace unix-specific 'file' command with cross-platform Rust implementation.

## Changes

- Replace `file -b --mime-type` with pure Rust heuristics:
  - Read first 8KB of file
  - Check for null bytes (binary indicator)
  - Validate UTF-8 encoding
  - Empty files treated as text

## Benefits

- ✅ Works on Windows (no dependency on 'file' command)
- ✅ Works on macOS and Linux
- ✅ Faster (no subprocess spawn)
- ✅ More consistent behavior across platforms

## Testing

Added 3 new unit tests:
- test_is_text_file_with_text
- test_is_text_file_with_binary
- test_is_text_file_with_empty

Total: 7 Rust unit tests

Windows Compatibility Fixed ✅

Problem: The original implementation used the unix file command which isn't available on Windows by default.

Solution: Replaced with pure Rust implementation that:

  • ✅ Reads first 8KB of file
  • ✅ Checks for null bytes (binary file indicator)
  • ✅ Validates UTF-8 encoding
  • ✅ Treats empty files as text

Benefits:

  • Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Faster (no subprocess spawn)
  • More consistent behavior
  • Better test coverage (7 unit tests total)

Testing:

#[test]
fn test_is_text_file_with_text() { ... }

#[test]
fn test_is_text_file_with_binary() { ... }

#[test]
fn test_is_text_file_with_empty() { ... }

The implementation now works across all platforms! 🎉

Bug fix: The fix_trailing_whitespace function was unconditionally adding
a final newline to all files, even if they didn't originally end with one.

## Changes

- Check if file originally ends with newline
- Only add final newline if original file had one
- Use write! instead of writeln! for last line if no original newline

## Testing

Added 2 new unit tests:
- test_fix_preserves_no_final_newline
- test_fix_preserves_final_newline

Total: 9 Rust unit tests

## Example

Before fix:
```
echo -n "trailing  " > file.txt
hk util trailing-whitespace --fix file.txt
cat file.txt  # Output: "trailing\n" (added newline!)
```

After fix:
```
echo -n "trailing  " > file.txt
hk util trailing-whitespace --fix file.txt
cat file.txt  # Output: "trailing" (no newline added!)
```

  • test_fix_preserves_no_final_newline ✨ new
  • test_fix_preserves_final_newline ✨ new

9 Bats Integration Tests (in test/util_trailing_whitespace.bats)

All issues resolved, PR ready for review! 🎉

The builtin integration test was failing because it tried to import
Builtins.trailing_whitespace from the released package (v1.2.0), which
doesn't have this new builtin yet.

## Change

Use local pkl files via $PKL_PATH instead of package imports:
- amends "$PKL_PATH/Config.pkl"
- import "$PKL_PATH/Builtins.pkl"

This allows the test to use the newly created trailing_whitespace builtin
that's being added in this PR.

## Fix

Resolves CI failure in ubuntu tests:
```
Cannot find property `trailing_whitespace` in module `Builtins`.
```

Changes:
- Fix bats test PATH to respect CARGO_TARGET_DIR env var (set by mise)
- Change fix mode to exit 0 on success (standard formatter behavior)
- Fix builtin test expectations to use 'code' instead of 'status'
- Add 'fix' hook to builtin integration test

This resolves the "hk: command not found" issue when running mise run ci
locally and ensures the utility works correctly in hk fix hooks.

Use tera template syntax to dynamically set PATH based on
CARGO_TARGET_DIR env var (set by mise to /tmp/mise/target for shared
build cache). Falls back to 'target' when CARGO_TARGET_DIR is not set.

This fixes the "Permission denied" errors when running mise tasks like
lint that execute the hk binary, as the binary location now matches
where cargo actually builds it.
