causes special characters to appear in the structure name, causing

Broken by #12913
Now that the command argument specs are available at runtime (#9656), this PR addresses
#8084 by implementing a complete solution for command-line hinting in `redis-cli`.
It correctly handles nearly every case in Redis's complex command argument definitions, including
`BLOCK` and `ONEOF` arguments, reordering of optional arguments, and repeated arguments
(even when followed by mandatory arguments). It also validates numerically-typed arguments.
It may not correctly handle all possible combinations of those, but overall it is quite robust.
Arguments are only matched after the space bar is typed, so partial word matching is not
supported - that proved to be more confusing than helpful. When the user's current input
cannot be matched against the argument specs, hinting is disabled.
Partial support has been implemented for legacy (pre-7.0) servers that do not support
`COMMAND DOCS`, by falling back to a statically-compiled command argument table.
On startup, if the server does not support `COMMAND DOCS`, `redis-cli` will now issue
an `INFO SERVER` command to retrieve the server version (unless `HELLO` has already
been sent, in which case the server version will be extracted from the reply to `HELLO`).
The server version will be used to filter the commands and arguments in the command table,
removing those not supported by that version of the server. However, the static table only
includes core Redis commands, so with a legacy server hinting will not be supported for
module commands. The auto generated help.h and the scripts that generates it are gone.
Command and argument tables for the server and CLI use different structs, due primarily
to the need to support different runtime data. In order to generate code for both, macros
have been added to `commands.def` (previously `commands.c`) to make it possible to
configure the code generation differently for different use cases (one linked with redis-server,
and one with redis-cli).
Also adding a basic testing framework for the command hints based on new (undocumented)
command line options to `redis-cli`: `--test_hint 'INPUT'` prints out the command-line hint for
a given input string, and `--test_hint_file <filename>` runs a suite of test cases for the hinting
mechanism. The test suite is in `tests/assets/test_cli_hint_suite.txt`, and it is run from
`tests/integration/redis-cli.tcl`.

* Minor fix to print, set to str
`{commands_filename}` the extra {} actually make it
become a Set, and the output print was like this:
```
Processing json files...
Linking container command to subcommands...
Checking all commands...
Generating {'commands'}.c...
All done, exiting.
```
Introduced in #11920
* more fix
Redis build runs `utils/generate-command-code.py` if there is a change in `src/commands/*.json` files.
In https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/10273, we used f-string format in this script. f-string feature was introduced in python3.6.
If a system has an earlier python version, build might fail.
Added some changes to make that script compatible with earlier python versions.
Work in progress towards implementing a reply schema as part of COMMAND DOCS, see #9845
Since ironing the details of the reply schema of each and every command can take a long time, we
would like to merge this PR when the infrastructure is ready, and let this mature in the unstable branch.
Meanwhile the changes of this PR are internal, they are part of the repo, but do not affect the produced build.
### Background
In #9656 we add a lot of information about Redis commands, but we are missing information about the replies
### Motivation
1. Documentation. This is the primary goal.
2. It should be possible, based on the output of COMMAND, to be able to generate client code in typed
languages. In order to do that, we need Redis to tell us, in detail, what each reply looks like.
3. We would like to build a fuzzer that verifies the reply structure (for now we use the existing
testsuite, see the "Testing" section)
### Schema
The idea is to supply some sort of schema for the various replies of each command.
The schema will describe the conceptual structure of the reply (for generated clients), as defined in RESP3.
Note that the reply structure itself may change, depending on the arguments (e.g. `XINFO STREAM`, with
and without the `FULL` modifier)
We decided to use the standard json-schema (see https://json-schema.org/) as the reply-schema.
Example for `BZPOPMIN`:
```
"reply_schema": {
"oneOf": [
{
"description": "Timeout reached and no elements were popped.",
"type": "null"
},
{
"description": "The keyname, popped member, and its score.",
"type": "array",
"minItems": 3,
"maxItems": 3,
"items": [
{
"description": "Keyname",
"type": "string"
},
{
"description": "Member",
"type": "string"
},
{
"description": "Score",
"type": "number"
}
]
}
]
}
```
#### Notes
1. It is ok that some commands' reply structure depends on the arguments and it's the caller's responsibility
to know which is the relevant one. this comes after looking at other request-reply systems like OpenAPI,
where the reply schema can also be oneOf and the caller is responsible to know which schema is the relevant one.
2. The reply schemas will describe RESP3 replies only. even though RESP3 is structured, we want to use reply
schema for documentation (and possibly to create a fuzzer that validates the replies)
3. For documentation, the description field will include an explanation of the scenario in which the reply is sent,
including any relation to arguments. for example, for `ZRANGE`'s two schemas we will need to state that one
is with `WITHSCORES` and the other is without.
4. For documentation, there will be another optional field "notes" in which we will add a short description of
the representation in RESP2, in case it's not trivial (RESP3's `ZRANGE`'s nested array vs. RESP2's flat
array, for example)
Given the above:
1. We can generate the "return" section of all commands in [redis-doc](https://redis.io/commands/)
(given that "description" and "notes" are comprehensive enough)
2. We can generate a client in a strongly typed language (but the return type could be a conceptual
`union` and the caller needs to know which schema is relevant). see the section below for RESP2 support.
3. We can create a fuzzer for RESP3.
### Limitations (because we are using the standard json-schema)
The problem is that Redis' replies are more diverse than what the json format allows. This means that,
when we convert the reply to a json (in order to validate the schema against it), we lose information (see
the "Testing" section below).
The other option would have been to extend the standard json-schema (and json format) to include stuff
like sets, bulk-strings, error-string, etc. but that would mean also extending the schema-validator - and that
seemed like too much work, so we decided to compromise.
Examples:
1. We cannot tell the difference between an "array" and a "set"
2. We cannot tell the difference between simple-string and bulk-string
3. we cannot verify true uniqueness of items in commands like ZRANGE: json-schema doesn't cover the
case of two identical members with different scores (e.g. `[["m1",6],["m1",7]]`) because `uniqueItems`
compares (member,score) tuples and not just the member name.
### Testing
This commit includes some changes inside Redis in order to verify the schemas (existing and future ones)
are indeed correct (i.e. describe the actual response of Redis).
To do that, we added a debugging feature to Redis that causes it to produce a log of all the commands
it executed and their replies.
For that, Redis needs to be compiled with `-DLOG_REQ_RES` and run with
`--reg-res-logfile <file> --client-default-resp 3` (the testsuite already does that if you run it with
`--log-req-res --force-resp3`)
You should run the testsuite with the above args (and `--dont-clean`) in order to make Redis generate
`.reqres` files (same dir as the `stdout` files) which contain request-response pairs.
These files are later on processed by `./utils/req-res-log-validator.py` which does:
1. Goes over req-res files, generated by redis-servers, spawned by the testsuite (see logreqres.c)
2. For each request-response pair, it validates the response against the request's reply_schema
(obtained from the extended COMMAND DOCS)
5. In order to get good coverage of the Redis commands, and all their different replies, we chose to use
the existing redis test suite, rather than attempt to write a fuzzer.
#### Notes about RESP2
1. We will not be able to use the testing tool to verify RESP2 replies (we are ok with that, it's time to
accept RESP3 as the future RESP)
2. Since the majority of the test suite is using RESP2, and we want the server to reply with RESP3
so that we can validate it, we will need to know how to convert the actual reply to the one expected.
- number and boolean are always strings in RESP2 so the conversion is easy
- objects (maps) are always a flat array in RESP2
- others (nested array in RESP3's `ZRANGE` and others) will need some special per-command
handling (so the client will not be totally auto-generated)
Example for ZRANGE:
```
"reply_schema": {
"anyOf": [
{
"description": "A list of member elements",
"type": "array",
"uniqueItems": true,
"items": {
"type": "string"
}
},
{
"description": "Members and their scores. Returned in case `WITHSCORES` was used.",
"notes": "In RESP2 this is returned as a flat array",
"type": "array",
"uniqueItems": true,
"items": {
"type": "array",
"minItems": 2,
"maxItems": 2,
"items": [
{
"description": "Member",
"type": "string"
},
{
"description": "Score",
"type": "number"
}
]
}
}
]
}
```
### Other changes
1. Some tests that behave differently depending on the RESP are now being tested for both RESP,
regardless of the special log-req-res mode ("Pub/Sub PING" for example)
2. Update the history field of CLIENT LIST
3. Added basic tests for commands that were not covered at all by the testsuite
### TODO
- [x] (maybe a different PR) add a "condition" field to anyOf/oneOf schemas that refers to args. e.g.
when `SET` return NULL, the condition is `arguments.get||arguments.condition`, for `OK` the condition
is `!arguments.get`, and for `string` the condition is `arguments.get` - https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/11896
- [x] (maybe a different PR) also run `runtest-cluster` in the req-res logging mode
- [x] add the new tests to GH actions (i.e. compile with `-DLOG_REQ_RES`, run the tests, and run the validator)
- [x] (maybe a different PR) figure out a way to warn about (sub)schemas that are uncovered by the output
of the tests - https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/11897
- [x] (probably a separate PR) add all missing schemas
- [x] check why "SDOWN is triggered by misconfigured instance replying with errors" fails with --log-req-res
- [x] move the response transformers to their own file (run both regular, cluster, and sentinel tests - need to
fight with the tcl including mechanism a bit)
- [x] issue: module API - https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/11898
- [x] (probably a separate PR): improve schemas: add `required` to `object`s - https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/11899

This PR makes sure that "name" is unique for all arguments in the same
level (i.e. all args of a command and all args within a block/oneof).
This means several argument with identical meaning can be referred to together,
but also if someone needs to refer to a specific one, they can use its full path.
In addition, the "display_text" field has been added, to be used by redis.io
in order to render the syntax of the command (for the vast majority it is
identical to "name" but sometimes we want to use a different string
that is not "name")
The "display" field is exposed via COMMAND DOCS and will be present
for every argument, except "oneof" and "block" (which are container
arguments)
Other changes:
1. Make sure we do not have any container arguments ("oneof" or "block")
that contain less than two sub-args (otherwise it doesn't make sense)
2. migrate.json: both AUTH and AUTH2 should not be "optional"
3. arg names cannot contain underscores, and force the usage of hyphens
(most of these were a result of the script that generated the initial json files
from redis.io commands.json).
There are some commands that has the wrong key specs.
This PR adds a key-spec related check in generate-command-code.py.
Check if the index is valid, or if there is an unused index.
The check result will look like:
```
[root]# python utils/generate-command-code.py
Processing json files...
Linking container command to subcommands...
Checking all commands...
command: RESTORE_ASKING may have unused key_spec
command: RENAME may have unused key_spec
command: PFDEBUG may have unused key_spec
command: WATCH key_specs missing flags
command: LCS arg: key2 key_spec_index error
command: RENAMENX may have unused key_spec
Error: There are errors in the commands check, please check the above logs.
```
The following commands have been fixed according to the check results:
- RESTORE ASKING: add missing arguments section (and history section)
- RENAME: newkey's key_spec_index should be 1
- PFDEBUG: add missing arguments (and change the arity from -3 to 3)
- WATCH: add missing key_specs flags: RO, like EXIST (it allow you to know the key exists, or is modified, but doesn't "leak" the data)
- LCS: key2 key_spec_index error, there is only one key-spec
- RENAMENX: newkey's key_spec_index should be 1
Apparently, some modules can afford deprecating command arguments
(something that was never done in Redis, AFAIK), so in order to represent
this piece of information, we added the `deprecated_since` field to redisCommandArg
(in symmetry to the already existing `since` field).
This commit adds `const char *deprecated_since` to `RedisModuleCommandArg`,
which is technically a breaking change, but since 7.0 was not released yet, we decided to let it slide
Add optional `notes` to keyspecs.
Other changes:
1. Remove the "incomplete" flag from SORT and SORT_RO: it is misleading since "incomplete" means "this spec may not return all the keys it describes" but SORT and SORT_RO's specs (except the input key) do not return any keys at all.
So basically:
If a spec's begin_search is "unknown" you should not use it at all, you must use COMMAND KEYS;
if a spec itself is "incomplete", you can use it to get a partial list of keys, but if you want all of them you must use COMMAND GETKEYS;
otherwise, the spec will return all the keys
2. `getKeysUsingKeySpecs` handles incomplete specs internally
Adding command tips (see https://redis.io/topics/command-tips) to commands.
Breaking changes:
1. Removed the "random" and "sort_for_script" flags. They are now command tips.
(this isn't affecting redis behavior since #9812, but could affect some client applications
that's relying on COMMAND command flags)
Summary of changes:
1. add BLOCKING flag (new flag) for all commands that could block. The ACL category with
the same name is now implicit.
2. move RANDOM flag to a `nondeterministic_output` tip
3. move SORT_FOR_SCRIPT flag to `nondeterministic_output_order` tip
3. add REQUEST_POLICY and RESPONSE_POLICY where appropriate as documented in the tips
4. deprecate (ignore) the `random` flag for RM_CreateCommand
Other notes:
1. Proxies need to send `RANDOMKEY` to all shards and then select one key randomly.
The other option is to pick a random shard and transfer `RANDOMKEY `to it, but that scheme
fails if this specific shard is empty
2. Remove CMD_RANDOM from `XACK` (i.e. XACK does not have RANDOM_OUTPUT)
It was added in 9e4fb96ca1, I guess by mistake.
Also from `(P)EXPIRETIME` (new command, was flagged "random" by mistake).
3. Add `nondeterministic_output` to `OBJECT ENCODING` (for the same reason `XTRIM` has it:
the reply may differ depending on the internal representation in memory)
4. RANDOM on `HGETALL` was wrong (there due to a limitation of the old script sorting logic), now
it's `nondeterministic_output_order`
5. Unrelated: Hide CMD_PROTECTED from COMMAND
In #10122, we modify the key spec flags to `RO` and `ACCESS`.
But forgot to call generate-command-code.py. Also formatted
it to follow the Python PEP8.
The new ACL key based permissions in #9974 require the key-specs (#8324) to have more
explicit flags rather than just READ and WRITE. See discussion in #10040
This PR defines two groups of flags:
One about how redis internally handles the key (mutually-exclusive).
The other is about the logical operation done from the user's point of view (3 mutually exclusive
write flags, and one read flag, all optional).
In both groups, if we can't explicitly flag something as explicit read-only, delete-only, or
insert-only, we flag it as `RW` or `UPDATE`.
here's the definition from the code:
```
/* Key-spec flags *
* -------------- */
/* The following refer what the command actually does with the value or metadata
* of the key, and not necessarily the user data or how it affects it.
* Each key-spec may must have exaclty one of these. Any operation that's not
* distinctly deletion, overwrite or read-only would be marked as RW. */
#define CMD_KEY_RO (1ULL<<0) /* Read-Only - Reads the value of the key, but
* doesn't necessarily returns it. */
#define CMD_KEY_RW (1ULL<<1) /* Read-Write - Modifies the data stored in the
* value of the key or its metadata. */
#define CMD_KEY_OW (1ULL<<2) /* Overwrite - Overwrites the data stored in
* the value of the key. */
#define CMD_KEY_RM (1ULL<<3) /* Deletes the key. */
/* The follwing refer to user data inside the value of the key, not the metadata
* like LRU, type, cardinality. It refers to the logical operation on the user's
* data (actual input strings / TTL), being used / returned / copied / changed,
* It doesn't refer to modification or returning of metadata (like type, count,
* presence of data). Any write that's not INSERT or DELETE, would be an UPADTE.
* Each key-spec may have one of the writes with or without access, or none: */
#define CMD_KEY_ACCESS (1ULL<<4) /* Returns, copies or uses the user data from
* the value of the key. */
#define CMD_KEY_UPDATE (1ULL<<5) /* Updates data to the value, new value may
* depend on the old value. */
#define CMD_KEY_INSERT (1ULL<<6) /* Adds data to the value with no chance of,
* modification or deletion of existing data. */
#define CMD_KEY_DELETE (1ULL<<7) /* Explicitly deletes some content
* from the value of the key. */
```
Unrelated changes:
- generate-command-code.py is only compatible with python3 (modified the shabang)
- generate-command-code.py print file on json parsing error
- rename `shard_channel` key-spec flag to just `channel`.
- add INCOMPLETE flag in input spec of SORT and SORT_RO
Sort the sub-commands so that every time we execute the script it generates the exact same results.
This will case less merge conflicts if two PRs edit different json files.
also:
* make the script agnostic to where it is executed (more flexible).
* add documentation about commands.c and the json files in the readme.

Delete the hardcoded command table and replace it with an auto-generated table, based
on a JSON file that describes the commands (each command must have a JSON file).
These JSON files are the SSOT of everything there is to know about Redis commands,
and it is reflected fully in COMMAND INFO.
These JSON files are used to generate commands.c (using a python script), which is then
committed to the repo and compiled.
The purpose is:
* Clients and proxies will be able to get much more info from redis, instead of relying on hard coded logic.
* drop the dependency between Redis-user and the commands.json in redis-doc.
* delete help.h and have redis-cli learn everything it needs to know just by issuing COMMAND (will be
done in a separate PR)
* redis.io should stop using commands.json and learn everything from Redis (ultimately one of the release
artifacts should be a large JSON, containing all the information about all of the commands, which will be
generated from COMMAND's reply)
* the byproduct of this is:
* module commands will be able to provide that info and possibly be more of a first-class citizens
* in theory, one may be able to generate a redis client library for a strictly typed language, by using this info.
### Interface changes
#### COMMAND INFO's reply change (and arg-less COMMAND)
Before this commit the reply at index 7 contained the key-specs list
and reply at index 8 contained the sub-commands list (Both unreleased).
Now, reply at index 7 is a map of:
- summary - short command description
- since - debut version
- group - command group
- complexity - complexity string
- doc-flags - flags used for documentation (e.g. "deprecated")
- deprecated-since - if deprecated, from which version?
- replaced-by - if deprecated, which command replaced it?
- history - a list of (version, what-changed) tuples
- hints - a list of strings, meant to provide hints for clients/proxies. see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9876
- arguments - an array of arguments. each element is a map, with the possibility of nesting (sub-arguments)
- key-specs - an array of keys specs (already in unstable, just changed location)
- subcommands - a list of sub-commands (already in unstable, just changed location)
- reply-schema - will be added in the future (see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9845)
more details on these can be found in https://github.com/redis/redis-doc/pull/1697
only the first three fields are mandatory
#### API changes (unreleased API obviously)
now they take RedisModuleCommand opaque pointer instead of looking up the command by name
- RM_CreateSubcommand
- RM_AddCommandKeySpec
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchIndex
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchKeyword
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysRange
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysKeynum
Currently, we did not add module API to provide additional information about their commands because
we couldn't agree on how the API should look like, see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9944.
### Somehow related changes
1. Literals should be in uppercase while placeholder in lowercase. Now all the GEO* command
will be documented with M|KM|FT|MI and can take both lowercase and uppercase
### Unrelated changes
1. Bugfix: no_madaory_keys was absent in COMMAND's reply
2. expose CMD_MODULE as "module" via COMMAND
3. have a dedicated uint64 for ACL categories (instead of having them in the same uint64 as command flags)
