PR #4660 merged into devel

[Edward K. Ream]

PR #4660 fixes several long-standing issues with various search and change commands:

- Fixed bugs involving the string "\n" in find and change strings.

- The find-all and change-all commands now indicate what they have done more clearly. Both commands create clickable links in the log pane. Each clickable link contains the headline of a node containing the find text. Clicking that link puts the cursor on the first line of the body text that contains the find text.

Please continue to test the "devel" branch.  Thanks.

Edward

Hello Edward,

I did test the 'devel' branch in a Debian - and - Fedora container.

I also added the '.pylintrc' file you shared to both instances at '~/.leo/' ...

Both Debian & Fedora reported the same 'pylint' errors  ...

See "Log" for the errors in the 'Debian' instance !

With kind regards,

Viktor

Hmm. It's a bit of a mystery. Have you upgraded your pylint?

In any case, Leo's workflow now ensures that pylint passes at various stages, so I think we can assume all is well with pylint.

Hmm. It's a bit of a mystery. Have you upgraded your pylint?

I'm using the latest version of Debian 13 & Fedora 43 ...

In case of Debian, here's the version info for 'pylint':

###

📦[user@leo-on-debian leo-editor]$  
📦[user@leo-on-debian leo-editor]$ python3 -m pylint --version
pylint 4.0.4
astroid 4.0.3
Python 3.14.1 (main, Dec  3 2025, 01:09:03) [GCC 14.2.0]
📦[user@leo-on-debian leo-editor]$

I'll call it a day for now ;-)

With kind regards,

I get only one kind of error from pylint on Windows:

E0606: Possibly using variable 'word2' before assignment (possibly-used-before-assignment)

There are many of these errors. pylint was one of the tests run by this command:

C:\tom\git\leo-editor>python3 -m leo.scripts.full_test_leo

I also got these errors from the mypy part of the test:

leo\core\leoCompare.py:340: error: Argument 1 to "cmp" has incompatible type "TextIO"; expected "str | bytes | PathLike[str] | PathLike[bytes]"  [arg-type]
leo\core\leoCompare.py:340: error: Argument 2 to "cmp" has incompatible type "TextIO"; expected "str | bytes | PathLike[str] | PathLike[bytes]"  [arg-type]
leo\plugins\dtest.py:110: error: Too many values to unpack (2 expected, 6 provided)  [misc]

Here's the build info: devel branch, build cb948308f0
