history started printing to stderr, which is unexpected #433

Closed doctorpangloss closed 3 months ago

doctorpangloss commented 4 months ago

in BusyBox v1.37.0-PRE-5439-g2df01b247 (2024-07-26 09:35:41 BST), history is now printing to stderr. Is there a way to change the behavior back to history printing to stdout, i.e., so that history | grep ... works again? Or, is there a way to make the busybox command line behave more like zsh with regards to completion?

Not just PRE-5439, this also affects the FRP-5398 release.

It's an upstream bug. Commit fd47f056765aed515f4c71118813f07be1402bee incorrectly changed the function used by the shell to print history.

I'll fix it later. In the meantime history 2>&1 | grep ... is a workaround.

Fixed in prerelease PRE-5441. A patch has also been submitted upstream.

thank you!

Just for the record, the patch has been accepted upstream, so we're now in sync on this issue.
