💡 What:

  • Updated get_validated_input to catch KeyboardInterrupt (Ctrl+C) and EOFError (Ctrl+D), exiting gracefully with code 130 instead of printing a traceback.
  • Updated render_progress_bar and countdown_timer to use dynamic width based on terminal size (approx 40% of width), replacing the fixed 15-character width.

🎯 Why:

  • Users should be able to cancel input prompts without seeing an ugly stack trace.
  • Progress bars should utilize available terminal space for better readability.

♿ Accessibility:

  • Respects user intent to cancel operation.
  • Improves visual feedback on wider terminals.

Summary of Changes

Hello @abhimehro, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the user experience of the CLI by implementing more robust input handling and adaptive visual feedback. It ensures that user interruptions are met with graceful exits rather than error messages and improves the readability of progress indicators across various terminal sizes.

Highlights

  • Graceful CLI Exit: The get_validated_input function now gracefully handles KeyboardInterrupt (Ctrl+C) and EOFError (Ctrl+D), exiting with code 130 instead of displaying a traceback.
  • Dynamic Progress Bars: The render_progress_bar and countdown_timer functions have been updated to dynamically adjust their width based on the terminal size, clamping between 15 and 50 characters.
Changelog
  • main.py
    • Imported the shutil module to access terminal size information.
    • Modified countdown_timer to calculate progress bar width dynamically based on terminal size, with minimum and maximum limits.
    • Modified render_progress_bar to calculate progress bar width dynamically based on terminal size, with minimum and maximum limits.
    • Wrapped input operations in get_validated_input with a try-except block to catch KeyboardInterrupt and EOFError, printing a warning and exiting with status code 130.
  • test_main.py
    • Added test_get_validated_input_interrupt to verify that get_validated_input correctly handles KeyboardInterrupt by exiting with code 130 and printing a cancellation message.

Code Review

This pull request enhances the CLI interaction by making progress bars dynamic and handling user input cancellation gracefully. The changes are well-implemented and improve the user experience. I've added a couple of suggestions to improve maintainability and test coverage. One suggestion is to refactor the duplicated code for calculating progress bar width. The other is to expand the test for input handling to cover more scenarios, ensuring the new logic is robust.

This logic for calculating the dynamic width is also present in the countdown_timer function (lines 266-268). To avoid code duplication and improve maintainability, consider extracting this logic into a shared helper function.

This test is great for KeyboardInterrupt! However, the implementation in get_validated_input also handles EOFError and has a separate path for password inputs using getpass. To ensure full coverage of the new graceful exit logic, I'd suggest parameterizing this test to cover all combinations: KeyboardInterrupt and EOFError, for both regular and password inputs.

# Case 14: get_validated_input handles graceful exit on interrupt/EOF
@pytest.mark.parametrize("exception", [KeyboardInterrupt, EOFError])
@pytest.mark.parametrize("is_password, mock_path", [
    (False, "builtins.input"),
    (True, "getpass.getpass"),
])
def test_get_validated_input_graceful_exit(monkeypatch, capsys, exception, is_password, mock_path):
    m = reload_main_with_env(monkeypatch)

    # Mock input to raise the specified exception
    monkeypatch.setattr(mock_path, MagicMock(side_effect=exception))

    with pytest.raises(SystemExit) as e:
        m.get_validated_input("Prompt: ", lambda x: True, "Error", is_password=is_password)

    # Check exit code is 130
    assert e.value.code == 130

    # Check friendly message
    captured = capsys.readouterr()
    assert "Input cancelled" in captured.out

Pull request overview

This PR enhances CLI user experience by adding graceful cancellation handling and adaptive progress bar sizing. When users press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D during input prompts, the application now exits cleanly with exit code 130 and a friendly message instead of showing a stack trace. Progress bars and countdown timers now dynamically adjust their width to approximately 40% of the terminal width (clamped between 15-50 characters) for better readability across different terminal sizes.

Changes:

  • Added KeyboardInterrupt and EOFError exception handling in get_validated_input to exit gracefully with code 130
  • Replaced fixed 15-character width with dynamic terminal-size-based calculation in render_progress_bar and countdown_timer
  • Added test coverage for KeyboardInterrupt handling

The dynamic width calculation logic (lines 266-268) is duplicated in render_progress_bar (lines 291-293). Consider extracting this into a helper function to avoid code duplication and ensure consistent behavior. This would make the code more maintainable and easier to update if the calculation logic needs to change.

The test only covers KeyboardInterrupt but not EOFError, even though the implementation catches both exceptions in the same way. Consider adding a separate test case for EOFError to ensure it also exits with code 130 and displays the cancellation message. This would provide complete test coverage for the graceful exit feature.

There is no test coverage for the dynamic width calculation in render_progress_bar. The existing test (test_render_progress_bar) doesn't verify that the width calculation based on terminal size works correctly. Consider adding tests that mock shutil.get_terminal_size to verify the width calculation across different scenarios.

The new cancellation handling also covers EOFError (Ctrl+D), but the tests only exercise KeyboardInterrupt. Add a test case for EOFError (or parametrize the test to cover both exceptions) so this new behavior is guarded against regressions.
