sagarbhure-dev 8cad67020f Fix GenerateSettingsIndex using element name instead of x:Name (#19945)
Use GetAttribute('x:Name') instead of .Name in GenerateSettingsIndex.ps1
to avoid PowerShell's XML integration returning the element tag name
(e.g. 'local:SettingContainer') when x:Name is absent.

Also add missing x:Name attributes to:
- Compatibility.xaml: AmbiguousWidth SettingContainer
- NewTabMenu.xaml: AddRemainingProfiles and CurrentFolderIcon containers

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fix GenerateSettingsIndex.ps1 emitting "local:SettingContainer" as the
element name in the generated index when a SettingContainer has no
x:Name attribute.

## References and Relevant Issues
Per DHowett's comment - the root cause is PowerShell's XML integration:
$element.Name returns the XML element tag name (e.g.
local:SettingContainer) when no x:Name attribute exists.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Two changes:

- GenerateSettingsIndex.ps1: Replace $settingContainer.Name with
$settingContainer.GetAttribute("x:Name"), which correctly returns an
empty string when the attribute is absent instead of the element tag
name.

- Add missing x:Name attributes to three SettingContainer elements:
    - Compatibility.xaml: AmbiguousWidth (Globals_AmbiguousWidth)
- NewTabMenu.xaml: AddRemainingProfiles
(NewTabMenu_AddRemainingProfiles)
    - NewTabMenu.xaml: CurrentFolderIcon (NewTabMenu_CurrentFolderIcon)
- This fixes four incorrect IndexEntry lines in the generated output
that previously contained L"local:SettingContainer" as the element name.

## Validation Steps Performed
Ran GenerateSettingsIndex.ps1 before and after - confirmed the four
incorrect entries with L"local:SettingContainer" are now generated with
the correct x:Name values (or empty string where appropriate).

## PR Checklist
Closes #19929

OpenConsole Tools

These are a collection of tools and scripts to make your life building the OpenConsole project easier. Many of them are designed to be functional clones of tools that we used to use when developing inside the Windows build system.

Razzle

This is a script that quickly sets up your environment variables so that these tools can run easily. It's named after another script used by Windows developers to similar effect.

  • It adds msbuild to your path.
  • It adds the tools directory to your path as well, so all these scripts are easily available.
  • It executes \tools\.razzlerc.cmd to add any other personal configuration to your environment as well, or creates one if it doesn't exist.
  • It sets up the default build configuration to be 'Debug'. If you'd like to manually specify a build configuration, pass the parameter dbg for Debug, and rel for Release.

bcz

bcz can quick be used to clean and build the project. By default, it builds the %DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION% configuration, which is Debug if you use razzle.cmd.

  • bcz dbg can be used to manually build the Debug configuration.
  • bcz rel can be used to manually build the Release configuration.

opencon (and openbash, openps)

opencon can be used to launch the last built OpenConsole binary. If given an argument, it will try and run that program in the launched window. Otherwise, it will default to cmd.exe.

openbash is similar, it immediately launches bash.exe (the Windows Subsystem for Linux entrypoint) in your ~ directory.

Likewise, openps launches powershell.

runformat & runxamlformat

runxamlformat will format .xaml files to match our coding style. runformat will format the c++ code (and will also call runxamlformat). runformat should be called before making a new PR, to ensure that code is formatted correctly. If it isn't, the CI will prevent your PR from merging.

The C++ code is formatted with clang-format. Many editors have built-in support for automatically running clang-format on save.

Our XAML code is formatted with XamlStyler. I don't have a good way of running this on save, but you can add a git hook to format before committing .xaml files. To do so, add the following to your .git/hooks/pre-commit file:

# XAML Styler - xstyler.exe pre-commit Git Hook
# Documentation: https://github.com/Xavalon/XamlStyler/wiki
# Originally from https://github.com/Xavalon/XamlStyler/wiki/Git-Hook

# Define path to xstyler.exe
XSTYLER_PATH="dotnet tool run xstyler --"

# Define path to XAML Styler configuration
XSTYLER_CONFIG="XamlStyler.json"

echo "Running XAML Styler on committed XAML files"
git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM  | grep -e '\.xaml$' | \
# Wrap in brackets to preserve variable through loop
{
    files=""
    # Build list of files to pass to xstyler.exe
    while read FILE; do
        if [ "$files" == "" ]; then
            files="$FILE";
        else
            files="$files,$FILE";
        fi
    done

    if [ "$files" != "" ]; then
        # Check if external configuration is specified
        [ -z "$XSTYLER_CONFIG" ] && configParam="" || configParam="-c $XSTYLER_CONFIG"

        # Format XAML files
        $XSTYLER_PATH -f "$files" $configParam

        for i in $(echo $files | sed "s/,/ /g")
        do
            #strip BOM
            sed -i '1s/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//' $i
            unix2dos $i
            # stage updated file
            git add -u $i
        done
    else
        echo "No XAML files detected in commit"
    fi

    exit 0
}

testcon, runut, runft

runut will automatically run all of the unit tests through TAEF. runft will run the feature tests, and testcon runs all of them. They'll pass any arguments through to TAEF, so you can more finely control the testing.

A recommended workflow is the following command:

bcz dbg && runut /name:*<name of test>*

Where <name of test> is the name of the test testing the relevant feature area you're working on. For example, if I was working on the VT Mouse input support, I would use MouseInputTest as that string, to isolate the mouse input tests. If you'd like to run all the tests, just ignore the /name param: bcz dbg && runut

To make sure your code is ready for a pull request, run the build, then launch the built console, then run the tests in it. The built console will inherit all of the razzle environment, so you can immediately start using the macros:

  1. bcz
  2. opencon
  3. testcon (in the new console window)
  4. runformat

If they all come out green, then you're ready for a pull request!
