Toru Nayuki 832ab56db8 dev_container: Expand bare $VAR in addition to ${VAR} in Dockerfiles (#59280)
When expanding build args in a dev container Dockerfile, only the braced
`${VAR}` form was substituted. The bare `$VAR` form — which is valid
Docker
syntax and common in real-world Dockerfiles — was passed through
verbatim.

For example, the Rails dev container images use:

```dockerfile
ARG RUBY_VERSION=3.4.4
FROM ghcr.io/rails/devcontainer/images/ruby:$RUBY_VERSION
```

This left `$RUBY_VERSION` unexpanded, so the subsequent `docker inspect`
/
build ran against the literal string `ruby:$RUBY_VERSION` and failed
with
an invalid reference format.

This adds `expand_dockerfile_var`, which substitutes both `${VAR}` and
bare
`$VAR`. Bare `$KEY` is only replaced when it is not immediately followed
by
a word character, so expanding `$RUBY_VERSION` does not partially
consume
`$RUBY_VERSION2`.

Release Notes:

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
