Diagnostic framework                                     *vim.diagnostic*

Nvim provides a framework for displaying errors or warnings from external
tools, otherwise known as "diagnostics". These diagnostics can come from a
variety of sources, such as linters or LSP servers. The diagnostic framework
is an extension to existing error handling functionality such as the
|quickfix| list.

==============================================================================
QUICKSTART                                              *diagnostic-quickstart*

Anything that reports diagnostics is referred to below as a "diagnostic
producer". Diagnostic producers need only follow a few simple steps to
report diagnostics:

1. Create a namespace |nvim_create_namespace()|. Note that the namespace must
   have a name. Anonymous namespaces WILL NOT WORK.
2. (Optional) Configure options for the diagnostic namespace
   |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
3. Generate diagnostics.
4. Set the diagnostics for the buffer |vim.diagnostic.set()|.
5. Repeat from step 3.

Generally speaking, the API is split between functions meant to be used by
diagnostic producers and those meant for diagnostic consumers (i.e. end users
who want to read and view the diagnostics for a buffer).  The APIs for
producers require a {namespace} as their first argument, while those for
consumers generally do not require a namespace (though often one may be
optionally supplied).  A good rule of thumb is that if a method is meant to
modify the diagnostics for a buffer (e.g. |vim.diagnostic.set()|) then it
requires a namespace.

                                                        *diagnostic-structure*
A diagnostic is a Lua table with the following keys. Required keys are
indicated with (+):

    bufnr: Buffer number
    lnum(+): The starting line of the diagnostic
    end_lnum: The final line of the diagnostic
    col(+): The starting column of the diagnostic
    end_col: The final column of the diagnostic
    severity: The severity of the diagnostic |vim.diagnostic.severity|
    message(+): The diagnostic text
    source: The source of the diagnostic
    code: The diagnostic code
    user_data: Arbitrary data plugins or users can add

Diagnostics use the same indexing as the rest of the Nvim API (i.e. 0-based
rows and columns). |api-indexing|

                                *vim.diagnostic.severity* *diagnostic-severity*
The "severity" key in a diagnostic is one of the values defined in
`vim.diagnostic.severity`:

    vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR
    vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN
    vim.diagnostic.severity.INFO
    vim.diagnostic.severity.HINT

Functions that take a severity as an optional parameter (e.g.
|vim.diagnostic.get()|) accept one of three forms:

1. A single |vim.diagnostic.severity| value: >lua

    vim.diagnostic.get(0, { severity = vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN })

2. A table with a "min" or "max" key (or both): >lua

    vim.diagnostic.get(0, { severity = { min = vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN } })
<
    This form allows users to specify a range of severities.

3. A list-like table: >lua

    vim.diagnostic.get(0, { severity = {
        vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN,
        vim.diagnostic.severity.INFO,
    } })
<
    This form allows users to filter for specific severities

==============================================================================
HANDLERS                                                *diagnostic-handlers*

Diagnostics are shown to the user with |vim.diagnostic.show()|. The display of
diagnostics is managed through handlers. A handler is a table with a "show"
and (optionally) a "hide" function. The "show" function has the signature
>
    function(namespace, bufnr, diagnostics, opts)
<
and is responsible for displaying or otherwise handling the given
diagnostics. The "hide" function takes care of "cleaning up" any actions taken
by the "show" function and has the signature
>
    function(namespace, bufnr)
<
Handlers can be configured with |vim.diagnostic.config()| and added by
creating a new key in `vim.diagnostic.handlers` (see
|diagnostic-handlers-example|).

The {opts} table passed to a handler is the full set of configuration options
(that is, it is not limited to just the options for the handler itself). The
values in the table are already resolved (i.e. if a user specifies a
function for a config option, the function has already been evaluated).

Nvim provides these handlers by default: "virtual_text", "signs", and
"underline".

                                                *diagnostic-handlers-example*
The example below creates a new handler that notifies the user of diagnostics
with |vim.notify()|: >lua

    -- It's good practice to namespace custom handlers to avoid collisions
    vim.diagnostic.handlers["my/notify"] = {
      show = function(namespace, bufnr, diagnostics, opts)
        -- In our example, the opts table has a "log_level" option
        local level = opts["my/notify"].log_level

        local name = vim.diagnostic.get_namespace(namespace).name
        local msg = string.format("%d diagnostics in buffer %d from %s",
                                  #diagnostics,
                                  bufnr,
                                  name)
        vim.notify(msg, level)
      end,
    }

    -- Users can configure the handler
    vim.diagnostic.config({
      ["my/notify"] = {
        log_level = vim.log.levels.INFO
      }
    })
<
In this example, there is nothing to do when diagnostics are hidden, so we
omit the "hide" function.

Existing handlers can be overridden. For example, use the following to only
show a sign for the highest severity diagnostic on a given line: >lua

    -- Create a custom namespace. This will aggregate signs from all other
    -- namespaces and only show the one with the highest severity on a
    -- given line
    local ns = vim.api.nvim_create_namespace("my_namespace")

    -- Get a reference to the original signs handler
    local orig_signs_handler = vim.diagnostic.handlers.signs

    -- Override the built-in signs handler
    vim.diagnostic.handlers.signs = {
      show = function(_, bufnr, _, opts)
        -- Get all diagnostics from the whole buffer rather than just the
        -- diagnostics passed to the handler
        local diagnostics = vim.diagnostic.get(bufnr)

        -- Find the "worst" diagnostic per line
        local max_severity_per_line = {}
        for _, d in pairs(diagnostics) do
          local m = max_severity_per_line[d.lnum]
          if not m or d.severity < m.severity then
            max_severity_per_line[d.lnum] = d
          end
        end

        -- Pass the filtered diagnostics (with our custom namespace) to
        -- the original handler
        local filtered_diagnostics = vim.tbl_values(max_severity_per_line)
        orig_signs_handler.show(ns, bufnr, filtered_diagnostics, opts)
      end,
      hide = function(_, bufnr)
        orig_signs_handler.hide(ns, bufnr)
      end,
    }

HIGHLIGHTS                                              *diagnostic-highlights*

All highlights defined for diagnostics begin with `Diagnostic` followed by
the type of highlight (e.g., `Sign`, `Underline`, etc.) and the severity (e.g.
`Error`, `Warn`, etc.)

By default, highlights for signs, floating windows, and virtual text are linked to the
corresponding default highlight. Underline highlights are not linked and use their
own default highlight groups.

For example, the default highlighting for |hl-DiagnosticSignError| is linked
to |hl-DiagnosticError|. To change the default (and therefore the linked
highlights), use the |:highlight| command: >vim

    highlight DiagnosticError guifg="BrightRed"
<

SIGNS                                                   *diagnostic-signs*

Signs are defined for each diagnostic severity. The default text for each sign
is the first letter of the severity name (for example, "E" for ERROR). Signs
can be customized with |vim.diagnostic.config()|. Example: >lua

    -- Highlight entire line for errors
    -- Highlight the line number for warnings
    vim.diagnostic.config({
        signs = {
            text = {
                [vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR] = '',
                [vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN] = '',
            },
            linehl = {
                [vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR] = 'ErrorMsg',
            },
            numhl = {
                [vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN] = 'WarningMsg',
            },
        },
    })

When the "severity_sort" option is set (see |vim.diagnostic.config()|) the
priority of each sign depends on the severity of the associated diagnostic.
Otherwise, all signs have the same priority (the value of the "priority"
option in the "signs" table of |vim.diagnostic.config()| or 10 if unset).

==============================================================================
EVENTS                                                  *diagnostic-events*

                                                        *DiagnosticChanged*
DiagnosticChanged       After diagnostics have changed. When used from Lua,
                        the new diagnostics are passed to the autocmd
                        callback in the "data" table.

Example: >lua

    vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('DiagnosticChanged', {
      callback = function(args)
        local diagnostics = args.data.diagnostics
        vim.print(diagnostics)
      end,
    })
<
==============================================================================
Lua module: vim.diagnostic                                    *diagnostic-api*

config({opts}, {namespace})                          *vim.diagnostic.config()*
    Configure diagnostic options globally or for a specific diagnostic
    namespace.

    Configuration can be specified globally, per-namespace, or ephemerally
    (i.e. only for a single call to |vim.diagnostic.set()| or
    |vim.diagnostic.show()|). Ephemeral configuration has highest priority,
    followed by namespace configuration, and finally global configuration.

    For example, if a user enables virtual text globally with >lua
        vim.diagnostic.config({ virtual_text = true })
<

    and a diagnostic producer sets diagnostics with >lua
        vim.diagnostic.set(ns, 0, diagnostics, { virtual_text = false })
<

    then virtual text will not be enabled for those diagnostics.

    Note: ~
      • Each of the configuration options below accepts one of the following:
        • `false`: Disable this feature
        • `true`: Enable this feature, use default settings.
        • `table`: Enable this feature with overrides. Use an empty table to
          use default values.
        • `function`: Function with signature (namespace, bufnr) that returns
          any of the above.

    Parameters: ~
      • {opts}       (`table?`) When omitted or "nil", retrieve the current
                     configuration. Otherwise, a configuration table with the
                     following keys:
                     • underline: (default true) Use underline for
                       diagnostics. Options:
                       • severity: Only underline diagnostics matching the
                         given severity |diagnostic-severity|

                     • virtual_text: (default true) Use virtual text for
                       diagnostics. If multiple diagnostics are set for a
                       namespace, one prefix per diagnostic + the last
                       diagnostic message are shown. In addition to the
                       options listed below, the "virt_text" options of
                       |nvim_buf_set_extmark()| may also be used here (e.g.
                       "virt_text_pos" and "hl_mode"). Options:
                       • severity: Only show virtual text for diagnostics
                         matching the given severity |diagnostic-severity|
                       • source: (boolean or string) Include the diagnostic
                         source in virtual text. Use "if_many" to only show
                         sources if there is more than one diagnostic source
                         in the buffer. Otherwise, any truthy value means to
                         always show the diagnostic source.
                       • spacing: (number) Amount of empty spaces inserted at
                         the beginning of the virtual text.
                       • prefix: (string or function) prepend diagnostic
                         message with prefix. If a function, it must have the
                         signature (diagnostic, i, total) -> string, where
                         {diagnostic} is of type |diagnostic-structure|, {i}
                         is the index of the diagnostic being evaluated, and
                         {total} is the total number of diagnostics for the
                         line. This can be used to render diagnostic symbols
                         or error codes.
                       • suffix: (string or function) Append diagnostic
                         message with suffix. If a function, it must have the
                         signature (diagnostic) -> string, where {diagnostic}
                         is of type |diagnostic-structure|. This can be used
                         to render an LSP diagnostic error code.
                       • format: (function) A function that takes a diagnostic
                         as input and returns a string. The return value is
                         the text used to display the diagnostic. Example: >lua

                             function(diagnostic)
                               if diagnostic.severity == vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR then
                                 return string.format("E: %s", diagnostic.message)
                               end
                               return diagnostic.message
                             end
<

                     • signs: (default true) Use signs for diagnostics
                       |diagnostic-signs|. Options:
                       • severity: Only show signs for diagnostics matching
                         the given severity |diagnostic-severity|
                       • priority: (number, default 10) Base priority to use
                         for signs. When {severity_sort} is used, the priority
                         of a sign is adjusted based on its severity.
                         Otherwise, all signs use the same priority.
                       • text: (table) A table mapping |diagnostic-severity|
                         to the sign text to display in the sign column. The
                         default is to use "E", "W", "I", and "H" for errors,

        WARNING filename:27:3: Variable 'foo' does not exist
<

    This can be parsed into a diagnostic |diagnostic-structure| with: >lua
        local s = "WARNING filename:27:3: Variable 'foo' does not exist"
        local pattern = "^(%w+) %w+:(%d+):(%d+): (.+)$"
        local groups = { "severity", "lnum", "col", "message" }
        vim.diagnostic.match(s, pattern, groups, { WARNING = vim.diagnostic.WARN })

      • {severity_map}  (`table`) A table mapping the severity field from
                        {groups} with an item from |vim.diagnostic.severity|.
      • {defaults}      (`table?`) Table of default values for any fields not
                        listed in {groups}. When omitted, numeric values
                        default to 0 and "severity" defaults to ERROR.

    Return: ~
        (`vim.Diagnostic?`) |diagnostic-structure| or `nil` if {pat} fails to

                • scope: (string, default "line") Show diagnostics from the
                  whole buffer ("buffer"), the current cursor line ("line"),
                  or the current cursor position ("cursor"). Shorthand
                  versions are also accepted ("c" for "cursor", "l" for
                  "line", "b" for "buffer").
                • pos: (number or table) If {scope} is "line" or "cursor", use
                  this position rather than the cursor position. If a number,
                  interpreted as a line number; otherwise, a (row, col) tuple.
                • severity_sort: (default false) Sort diagnostics by severity.
                  Overrides the setting from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
                • severity: See |diagnostic-severity|. Overrides the setting

                • header: (string or table) String to use as the header for
                  the floating window. If a table, it is interpreted as a
                  [text, hl_group] tuple. Overrides the setting from
                  |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
                • source: (boolean or string) Include the diagnostic source in
                  the message. Use "if_many" to only show sources if there is
                  more than one source of diagnostics in the buffer.
                  Otherwise, any truthy value means to always show the
                  diagnostic source. Overrides the setting from
                  |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
                • format: (function) A function that takes a diagnostic as
                  input and returns a string. The return value is the text
                  used to display the diagnostic. Overrides the setting from
                  |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
                • prefix: (function, string, or table) Prefix each diagnostic
                  in the floating window. If a function, it must have the
                  signature (diagnostic, i, total) -> (string, string), where
                  {i} is the index of the diagnostic being evaluated and
                  {total} is the total number of diagnostics displayed in the
                  window. The function should return a string which is
                  prepended to each diagnostic in the window as well as an
                  (optional) highlight group which will be used to highlight
                  the prefix. If {prefix} is a table, it is interpreted as a
                  [text, hl_group] tuple as in |nvim_echo()|; otherwise, if
                  {prefix} is a string, it is prepended to each diagnostic in
                  the window with no highlight. Overrides the setting from
                  |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
                • suffix: Same as {prefix}, but appends the text to the
                  diagnostic instead of prepending it. Overrides the setting
                  from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.

    Return: ~
        (`integer?, integer?`) ({float_bufnr}, {win_id})

reset({namespace}, {bufnr})                           *vim.diagnostic.reset()*
    Remove all diagnostics from the given namespace.

    Unlike |vim.diagnostic.hide()|, this function removes all saved
    diagnostics. They cannot be redisplayed using |vim.diagnostic.show()|. To
    simply remove diagnostic decorations in a way that they can be
    re-displayed, use |vim.diagnostic.hide()|.

    Parameters: ~
      • {namespace}  (`integer?`) Diagnostic namespace. When omitted, remove
                     diagnostics from all namespaces.
