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.

                                      Type |gO| to see the table of contents.

==============================================================================
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:

	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

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 two forms:

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

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

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

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

The latter form allows users to specify a range of 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()|: >

	-- 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: >

	-- 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: >

    highlight DiagnosticError guifg="BrightRed"
<
							*hl-DiagnosticError*
DiagnosticError
  Used as the base highlight group.
  Other Diagnostic highlights link to this by default (except Underline)

							*hl-DiagnosticWarn*
DiagnosticWarn
  Used as the base highlight group.
  Other Diagnostic highlights link to this by default (except Underline)

							*hl-DiagnosticInfo*
DiagnosticInfo
  Used as the base highlight group.
  Other Diagnostic highlights link to this by default (except Underline)

							*hl-DiagnosticHint*
DiagnosticHint
  Used as the base highlight group.
  Other Diagnostic highlights link to this by default (except Underline)

					*hl-DiagnosticVirtualTextError*
DiagnosticVirtualTextError
  Used for "Error" diagnostic virtual text.

					*hl-DiagnosticVirtualTextWarn*
DiagnosticVirtualTextWarn
  Used for "Warn" diagnostic virtual text.

						*hl-DiagnosticVirtualTextInfo*
DiagnosticVirtualTextInfo
  Used for "Info" diagnostic virtual text.

						*hl-DiagnosticVirtualTextHint*
DiagnosticVirtualTextHint
  Used for "Hint" diagnostic virtual text.

						*hl-DiagnosticUnderlineError*
DiagnosticUnderlineError
  Used to underline "Error" diagnostics.

						*hl-DiagnosticUnderlineWarn*
DiagnosticUnderlineWarn
  Used to underline "Warn" diagnostics.

						*hl-DiagnosticUnderlineInfo*
DiagnosticUnderlineInfo
  Used to underline "Info" diagnostics.

						*hl-DiagnosticUnderlineHint*
DiagnosticUnderlineHint
  Used to underline "Hint" diagnostics.

						*hl-DiagnosticFloatingError*
DiagnosticFloatingError
  Used to color "Error" diagnostic messages in diagnostics float.
  See |vim.diagnostic.open_float()|

						*hl-DiagnosticFloatingWarn*
DiagnosticFloatingWarn
  Used to color "Warn" diagnostic messages in diagnostics float.

						*hl-DiagnosticFloatingInfo*
DiagnosticFloatingInfo
  Used to color "Info" diagnostic messages in diagnostics float.

						*hl-DiagnosticFloatingHint*
DiagnosticFloatingHint
  Used to color "Hint" diagnostic messages in diagnostics float.

						*hl-DiagnosticSignError*
DiagnosticSignError
  Used for "Error" signs in sign column.

						*hl-DiagnosticSignWarn*
DiagnosticSignWarn
  Used for "Warn" signs in sign column.

						*hl-DiagnosticSignInfo*
DiagnosticSignInfo
  Used for "Info" signs in sign column.

						*hl-DiagnosticSignHint*
DiagnosticSignHint
  Used for "Hint" signs in sign column.

==============================================================================
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 using the following: >

	sign define DiagnosticSignError text=E texthl=DiagnosticSignError linehl= numhl=
	sign define DiagnosticSignWarn text=W texthl=DiagnosticSignWarn linehl= numhl=
	sign define DiagnosticSignInfo text=I texthl=DiagnosticSignInfo linehl= numhl=
	sign define DiagnosticSignHint text=H texthl=DiagnosticSignHint linehl= numhl=

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.

Example: >
	autocmd DiagnosticChanged * lua vim.diagnostic.setqflist({open = false })
<
==============================================================================
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 >

                   vim.diagnostic.config({virtual_text = true})
<

                and a diagnostic producer sets diagnostics with >

                   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 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. Options:
                                   • severity: Only show virtual text for
                                     diagnostics matching the given severity

                                     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) Prepend diagnostic
                                     message with prefix.
                                   • 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: >

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

                                     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.

                                 • float: Options for floating windows. See

                                   diagnostics by severity. This affects the
                                   order in which signs and virtual text are
                                   displayed. When true, higher severities are
                                   displayed before lower severities (e.g.
                                   ERROR is displayed before WARN). Options:

                              parameter to |vim.diagnostic.open_float()|.
                              Unless overridden, the float will show
                              diagnostics at the new cursor position (as if
                              "cursor" were passed to the "scope" option).

                |vim.diagnostic.reset()|.

                To hide diagnostics and prevent them from re-displaying, use
                |vim.diagnostic.disable()|.

                Parameters: ~
                    {namespace}  number|nil Diagnostic namespace. When

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

                This can be parsed into a diagnostic |diagnostic-structure|
                with: >

                 local s = "WARNING filename:27:3: Variable 'foo' does not exist"

                                    from {groups} with an item from
                                    |vim.diagnostic.severity|.
                    {defaults}      table|nil Table of default values for any
                                    fields not listed in {groups}. When

                Parameters: ~
                    {opts}  table|nil Configuration table with the same keys
                            as |vim.lsp.util.open_floating_preview()| in
                            addition to the following:
                            • bufnr: (number) Buffer number to show
                              diagnostics from. Defaults to the current
                              buffer.
                            • namespace: (number) Limit diagnostics to the
                              given namespace
                            • 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

                            • severity: See |diagnostic-severity|. Overrides
                              the setting from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
                            • 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()|.

                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}  number|nil Diagnostic namespace. When

                                   given namespace and buffer. This can be
                                   used to display a list of diagnostics
                                   without saving them or to display only a
