This is can be used for spawning nvim outside a test context. Also refactor
screen.lua to use this function when loading the color map(It is better because
the GDB/VALGRIND environment variables are ignored)
Problem: Cannot append a list of lines to a file.
Solution: Add the append option to writefile(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)

-Ported old legacy test over to
test/functional/legacy/writefile_spec.lua
-Tests for mapping and signs from the original patch were removed since
they have nothing to do this with feature
Tested with: make oldtest, make test on OS X.

Even though assuming nvim is busy most times is simpler, it has a problem: A lot
of unnecessary busy_start/busy_stop notifications are sent to the UI. That's
because in the majority of scenarios almost no time is spent between
`event_poll` calls.
This restores the normal behavior which is to call busy_start only when nvim is
going to perform some task that can take a significant amount of time. Also
improve the usage of buffering in the TUI when changing the cursor state.
Switching cursor off is only necessary in two occasions:
- When redrawing to avoid terminal flickering
- When the editor is busy
The first can now be handled by the TUI, so most calls to ui_cursor_off can be
removed from the core.
So, before this commit it was only necessary to switch the cursor off to notify
the user that nvim was running some long operation. Now the cursor_{on,off}
functions have been replaced by busy_{stop,start} which can be handled in a
UI-specific way(turning the cursor off or showing a busy indicator, for
example).
To make things even more simpler, nvim is always busy except when waiting for
user input or other asynchronous events: It automatically switches to a non-busy
state when the event loop is about to be entered for more than 100 milliseconds.
`ui_busy_start` can be called when its not desired to change the busy state in
the event loop (As its now done by functions that perform blocking shell
invocations).
- After _spec suffix was added so busted could find the test, it failed.
- The original legacy test wrote to a "test.out", but the new test uses
register @A.
- Original test did not contain 1d and new test shouldn't either.

It turns out that Busted started cleaning the environment in 2.0rc5 as a
result of Olivine-Labs/busted#62. This, in turn, caused the ffi module
to be reloaded for each spec file, and LuaJIT doesn't appreciate it.
The net effect is an assertion error in LuaJIT.
By using the --helper feature of Busted, we can pre-load some modules
ahead of Busted and prevent it from reloading them--making LuaJIT happy
again.
This is necessary for newer versions of Busted, otherwise assert will be
nil and the tests will die.
Note: this does not mean the tests now work with the latest Busted.
There are still several issues preventing that from happening.
- Removed term.c, term.h and term_defs.h
- Tests for T_* values were removed. screen.c was simplified as a
consequence(the best strategy for drawing is implemented in the UI layer)
- Redraw functions now call ui.c functions directly. Updates are flushed with
`ui_flush()`
- Removed all termcap options(they now return empty strings for compatibility)
- &term/&ttybuiltin options return a constant value(nvim)
- &t_Co is still available, but it mirrors t_colors directly
- Remove cursor tracking from screen.c and the `screen_start` function. Now the
UI is expected to maintain cursor state across any call, and reset it when
resized.
- Remove unused code
- The syntax `gui=` is invalid when setting properties of highlight group.
- Wait for the initial "-- More --" prompt before continuing. Required to avoid
a race condition
Some screen tests such as system/ctrl+c(viml_system_spec.lua) can take some time
to respond(default kill timeout is 2 seconds for an interrupted job) and fail
when running under a slow environment such as travis.
The `system` function is never executed with these tests because the ctrl+c is
queued with the input string that calls it(The `process_interrupts` function
will destroy all previous input when a ctrl+c is found).
The systemlist test currently calls the `echo` command which can potentially
complete before being interrupted, causing random test failures.
Use `yes | xargs` instead. A `yes` invocation that is not piped through `xargs`
can produce a huge amount of lines in a very short time, leading memory
starvation when the result is being converted into a list. `xargs` ensures only
one line of output will be produced while allowing interrupt to be tested.
`job_send` is non-blocking and can potentially fail due to the following
`job_stop` call. Since we can't reliably verify that the "exit" event is only
sent after the "stdout" event, mark the test as pending and fix after we can
get a notification about `job_send` status.
The test was hoping to not find a tags file, but didn't actively guard
against it. In my case, I had a tags file present which was causing
different output to be generated. To fix this, let's set the tags
option to look for an unlikely filename.
While running under valgrind, the screen can take significantly longer to
update(especially on travis) so a higher timeout can be required. Also reduce
the timeout when not running on valgrind.
When a test that fails leaves nvim in a 'Press Enter...' state, the whole suite
will hang because the `qa!` command executed before the next test won't be
processed until '<enter>' is sent.
Now the lua client can send a signal with when `Session:exit()` is called, so
the `qa!` request is no longer necessary.
Also:
- Set noswapfile at startup to prevent tests from leaving .s* swap files(should
also improve test environment determinism)
- Use `assert(false, msg) instead of `error(msg)` to report screen assertion
failures.
Problem: In Insert mode, after inserting a newline that inserts a comment
leader, CTRL-O moves to the right. (ZyX) Issue 57.
Solution: Correct the condition for moving the cursor back to the NUL.

Ignoring invalid key sequences simplifies input handling in UIs. The only
downside is having to use "<lt>" everytime a "<" is needed on functional tests.
Ignoring invalid key sequences simplifies input handling in UIs. The only

While we're at, using the slightly more portable `command -v` technique
to detect the executable. Also, there's no need to use `io.popen()` if
we aren't going to record the path. Instead, let's use the simpler
`os.execute()` to detect the presence of xclip.
In Lua, all math is floating point. We need to coerce the result of a
division into a integer with the `{get,set}_height` and
`{get,set}_width` window_spec functional tests.
The $GDB env var can be set to run tests under gdbserver. If $VALGRIND is also
set, it will add the --vgdb=yes command-line option to valgrind instead of
starting gdbserver.
See https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1519 for failure report.
Cause : In OSX, /tmp is a symbolic link to /private/tmp, which causes
expected and got results different because of implicit
resolution.
Solution : Resolve path before setting expected value.
Nvim wasn't exiting cleanly in some job tests due to errors.
This can't be noticed until the next commit, which will perform a refactoring to
selectively process K_EVENT, so the `qa!` command executed at the end of each
test blocks forever if there are errors which require the user to press ENTER(in
that state Nvim no longer will process events).
The vim_input function accepts raw terminal input and so is better to emulate
real user, especially because it is not deferred as vim_feedkeys.
Using this function required a number of changes:
- expect() was refactored to use curbuf_contents()
- The vim_eval function in request() was moved to curbuf_contents(). For most
cases this is enough(we only care for synchronizing api calls with user input
when verifying buffer contents).
- <C-@>(NUL) is preprocessed before being passed to replace_termcodes.
- Legacy test 4 had a bug that only became visible when using vim_input, it is
fixed now.
- An extra blank line deletion was required for test 101
The last two items show that vim_feedkeys because it is not 100% equivalent to
receiving terminal input.
Commit @45525853d352 removed usage of the `job_write_cb` for closing stdin due
to a memory error, but that doesn't work anymore because `job_close_in` closes
stdin immediately, possibly trimming input data before it is fully written.
Since most memory issues with jobs have been fixed, re-add the `job_write_cb`
call to ensure stdin is only closed when it should. Also add tests for scenarios
where using the callback makes a difference.
Tests which spin the event loop and stop it in a notification handler have a
chance of re-entering the event loop due to the `vim_eval` call in the
`request()` helper(assuming the request call is what triggered the
notification). Since this will cause an error to be thrown by the lua client,
don't send the extra `vim_eval` request when the loop has been stopped.
Use save_tv_as_string(), same as vimL system(). This also makes
jobsend() more liberal in what it can accept. For example,
`jobsend(j, 123)` is now valid.
Closes#1176
Factor out string_to_list() from f_system()'s implementation
and use that to set job_data. This has the technical advantage of
preserving NULs, and may be more convenient for users.
Required for #1176.
During test setup, we used to call a vimscript function(BeforeEachTest) that
attempted to restore Nvim to it's initial state as much as possible in order to
provide a clean environment for running new tests. This approach has proven to
be unreliable, as some tests leave state that can affect other tests, eventually
causing failures that are difficult to debug.
This commit changes the 'clear' function so it will restart Nvim every time it
is called, which is a slower, but more reliable solution that will simplify
spotting bugs in the future.
Some other improvements/fixes were also performed:
- Whenever an error is detected in a handler passed to "run()", the event loop
will be stopped and the error will be propagated to the main thread.
- Errors and the "cleanup()" function will always send a quit command to the
current Nvim instance. This should prevent memory starvation when running
tests under valgrind(where each Nvim instance can consume a lot of memory).
- Fixed a wrong assertion in server_requests_spec.lua. Previously the failure
was undetected in a notification handler.
- Fixed some tests to expect fully clean registers. The deleted cleanup function
used to put an empty string in every register, but that resulted in a extra
line being added.
It is currently possible for a client to send a response that doesn't match the
current server->client request(at the top of the stack). This commit fixes that
by delaying notifications to until the first `channel_send_call` invocation
returns.
Also remove the "call stack" size check, vim will already break if the call
stack goes too deep.
The options_spec.lua suite has one purpose: Check if the :options commands will
throw any exception(:options is implemented by $VIMRUNTIME/optwin.vim). For this
it is best to use the `vim_command` API function since it will automatically
catch exceptions and forward them via msgpack-rpc.
Also, the option window seems to affect other tests, so call `restart` in the
teardown hook.
Since the introduction of the FOR_ALL_BUFFERS macro, 'sign unplace id'
without a buffer was only removing the sign from the first buffer rather
than all buffers, as described in the documentation.

- Move the cleanup function definition into `restart()` so restart can be
selectively used as a hook
- Improve error handling: Before this, errors while running the event loop would
cause busted to get stuck. Now the error is properly raised by stopping the
event loop first.
It's possible that a child process won't close it's standard streams, even after
it exits. This can be evidenced with the "xclip" program:
:call system('xclip -i -selection clipboard', 'DATA')
Before this commit, the above command wouldn't return, even though the xclip
program had exited. That is because `xclip` wasn't closing it's stdout/stderr
streams, which would block pending_refs from ever reaching 0.
Now the job.c module was refactored to ensure all streams are closed when the
uv_process_t handle is closed.
Sanity API checks made by the python-client in the api-python travis target were
converted to lua and will now live in this repository. This will simplify
performing breaking changes to the API as it won't be necessary to send parallel
PRs the python-client.
Now that the lua client is available, python/lupa are no longer necessary to run
the functional tests. The helper functions previously defined in
run-functional-tests.py were adapted to test/functional/helpers.lua.
Busted can only discover tests from a single directory. In order to allow tests
under 'legacy' to run as a functional test, it needed to be moved to
'test/functional'.
The 'lupa' python package provides a simple way to seamless integrate lua and
python code.
This commit replaces vroom by a python script that exposes the 'neovim' package
to a lua state, and invokes busted to run functional tests. This is a temporary
solution that will enable writing functional tests using lua/bused while a lua
client library is not available.
The reason for dropping vroom is flexibility: Lua/busted has a nice DSL-style
syntax while also providing the customization power of a full programming
language. Another reason is to use a single framework for unit/functional tests.
Two other changes were performed in this commit:
- Instead of "gcc-unittest/gcc-ia32", the travis builds for gcc are now
identified by "gcc/gcc-32". They will run unit/functional tests for both 64
and 32 bits.
- Old integration tests(in src/nvim/testdir) are now ran by the 'oldtest' target
