Bug 170978 – Add Automator service to copy permalink to Clipboard

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Daniel Bates]

I frequently find it helpful to refer to specific line of code in code reviews, IRC and email discussions using a Trac permalink. It's tedious to create such a link using the trac.webkit.org web app. So, I wrote an Automator service workflow for Xcode that copies a Trac permalink to the currently selected line in the active document to the Clipboard. An example of a Trac permalink that is copied to the clipboard is: <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/Scrolling/RemoteScrollingCoordinatorProxy.cpp?rev=215365#L83>. Holding down the Option key when the service runs will copy a Trac permalink with blame annotations.

Neat! r=me

Nit: `https` will save a redirect.

The result of this expression is not saved. You probably wanted to update documentName:

    documentName = documentName.substr(...);

> Tools/CopyPermalink/Copy WebKit Permalink.workflow/Contents/document.wflow:157
> +    var beginPosition = range[0] - 1;
> +    if (!beginPosition)

Is it possible that the first location would be 0, and this produces -1? Or is the first possible position 1?

Style: You could just do:

    return { branch, revision, repositoryURL };

Which is equivalent shorthand for:

    return { "branch": branch, "revision": revision, "repositoryURL": repositoryURL };

I see you use destructuring later, so using ES6 features should not be a concern.

You could simplify a bit with for..of:

    for (var line of lines) {
        var [key, value] = line.split(": ", 2);

Since you don't use `i` or `length` outside of the loop.

Will change to use for-of loop.

This Automator service works under Xcode 8 or Xcode 9 beta 5 (9M202q) or later.
