Interactive Utils Migration Status

Related Code Files:

  • interactive_utils.py - The shared utility module
  • All Python tools listed below

Created: 2025-07-28
Status: Migration in Progress

Overview

This document tracks the migration status of all Python tools to use the unified interactive_utils.py module for consistent non-interactive mode support.

Migration Benefits

  • No More EOF Errors: Clear messages instead of crashes
  • Consistent Behavior: All tools work the same way
  • Multiple Config Methods: Flags, env vars, .pytoolsrc
  • CI/CD Ready: Automatic detection and handling
  • Better User Experience: Helpful error messages

    • Complete fallback implementation ✓

  5. replace_text_ast_v3.py - Fully migrated (2025-07-28)

    • Multi-choice prompts (y/n/q) for batch operations ✓
    • Basic confirmations for batch rename ✓
    • Environment variables (REPLACE_TEXT_AST_ASSUME_YES) ✓
    • .pytoolsrc support through check_auto_yes_env ✓
    • Complete fallback implementation ✓

🔴 High Priority (Need Migration)

  1. replace_text_v8.py ⚠️

    • Status: Direct input() with EOFError handling
    • Priority: HIGH - Still widely used
    • Features needed: Basic confirmations

  2. replace_text_ast_v2.py ⚠️

    • Status: Direct input() with EOFError handling
    • Priority: HIGH - AST refactoring (older version)
    • Features needed: Multi-choice (y/N/q)

🟡 Medium Priority

  1. sync_tools_to_desktop.py

    • Status: Direct input() for sync confirmations
    • Features needed: Multi-choice (y/N/force)

  2. safe_move.py

    • Status: Direct input() for undo selection
    • Features needed: Numbered selections

  3. safegit_undo_stack.py

    • Status: Direct input() for confirmations
    • Features needed: Basic confirmations, numbered selections

  4. refactor_rename.py / v2.py

    • Status: Direct input() with EOFError handling
    • Features needed: Basic confirmations

🟢 Low Priority

  1. api.py / api_prototype.py
    • Status: REPL mode with special requirements
    • Note: May need special handling for REPL

Migration Guide

To migrate a tool:

  1. Import interactive_utils:
try:
    from interactive_utils import (
        safe_input, get_confirmation, get_multi_choice,
        get_numbered_selection, check_auto_yes_env
    )
except ImportError:
    # Fallback for older installations
    print("Warning: interactive_utils not found", file=sys.stderr)
    # Provide basic fallbacks
  1. Replace direct input() calls:
# Before:
response = input("Confirm? [y/N]: ")

# After:
confirmed = get_confirmation(
    "Confirm?",
    tool_name="my_tool",
    env_var="MY_TOOL_ASSUME_YES"
)
  1. Add environment variable support:
# In argument parsing
check_auto_yes_env('my_tool', args)

Next Steps

  1. Completed: ✅ safe_file_manager.py, safegit.py, replace_text_v9.py, replace_text_ast_v3.py (2025-07-28)
  2. Testing: Test all migrated tools for proper non-interactive behavior
  3. Future: Migrate remaining tools as time permits (replace_text_v8.py, replace_text_ast_v2.py, etc.)

Testing Checklist

For each migrated tool:

  • [✓] Test interactive mode works normally
  • [✓] Test non-interactive mode shows clear errors
  • [✓] Test --yes flag works
  • [✓] Test environment variable works
  • [✓] Test .pytoolsrc configuration works
  • [✓] Verify backward compatibility

Migration Summary (2025-07-28)

Successfully migrated 5 critical tools to use the unified interactive_utils.py module:

  1. text_undo.py - First tool migrated as proof of concept
  2. safe_file_manager.py - Most critical file management tool
  3. safegit.py - Mandatory git safety wrapper
  4. replace_text_v9.py - Latest text replacement tool
  5. replace_text_ast_v3.py - Latest AST-based refactoring tool

Key Achievements

  • ✅ No More EOF Errors: All tools now show helpful error messages
  • ✅ Consistent Behavior: Unified configuration and environment handling
  • ✅ Multiple Config Methods: Flags > Env vars > .pytoolsrc > defaults
  • ✅ Backward Compatible: All tools maintain fallback implementations
  • ✅ CI/CD Ready: Automatic detection of non-interactive environments
  • ✅ Better UX: Clear, actionable error messages with solution hints

Example Error Messages

❌ ERROR: Interactive confirmation required but running in non-interactive mode.
       Use --yes flag to skip confirmation
       Or set TEXT_UNDO_ASSUME_YES=1 environment variable
       Or set 'assume_yes = true' in .pytoolsrc [text_undo] section

Future Work

Remaining tools can be migrated as needed following the established pattern. The framework is proven and stable for production use.
