Enforce consistent terminology (defined in
`gen_help_html.lua:spell_dict`) for common misspellings.
This does not spellcheck English in general (perhaps a future TODO,
though it may be noisy).
- quickstart
- mark lsp.txt as `new_layout`
- remove lsp-handler documentation for notifications: they don't have
handlers because they don't have server responses.
Add automatic refresh and a public interface on top of #23736
* add on_reload, on_detach handlers in `enable()` buf_attach, and
LspDetach autocommand in case of manual detach
* unify `__buffers` and `hint_cache_by_buf`
* use callback bufnr in `on_lines` callback, bufstate: remove __index override
* move user-facing functions into vim.lsp.buf, unify enable/disable/toggle

feat(lua): add vim.system()
Problem:
Handling system commands in Lua is tedious and error-prone:
- vim.fn.jobstart() is vimscript and comes with all limitations attached to typval.
- vim.loop.spawn is too low level
Solution:
Add vim.system().
Partly inspired by Python's subprocess module
Does not expose any libuv objects.
Problem:
"playground" is new jargon that overlaps with existing concepts:
"dev" (`:help dev`) and "view" (also "scratch" `:help scratch-buffer`) .
Solution:
We should consistently use "dev" as the namespace for where "developer
tools" live. For purposes of a "throwaway sandbox object", we can use
the name "view".
- Rename `TSPlayground` => `TSView`
- Rename `playground.lua` => `dev.lua`
Problem:
Selecting a search result from the Algolia Docsearch widget does not
navigate to a page anchor. The docs HTML provides `<a name=…>` anchors
_near_ the `<h1>`/`<h2>`/… headings, but Algolia Docsearch expects the
anchors to be _defined on_ the headings. That's also "semantically"
nicer. https://docsearch.algolia.com/docs/manage-your-crawls/
Solution:
Set `id` on the heading element instead of placing `<a name=…>` nearby.

The cmake.deps build will read this file and set the left part of the
text as the variable name and the right part as the variable value. The
benefit of doing this is that it becomes much easier to parse which
dependencies are required, as well as to bump dependencies with
scripts/bump_deps.lua.
Adjust bump_deps.lua script to work with this new format.
This one generates a runtime/ file instead of a source file.
But otherwise it works the same like all other generators.
It has the same prerequisites (shared and mpack modules, etc), and,
importantly, it uses results from the source generators.
The odd location makes it easy to overlook when refactoring generators
(like I did last time, lol)
vim.iter wraps a table or iterator function into an `Iter` object with
methods such as `filter`, `map`, and `fold` which can be chained to
produce iterator pipelines that do not create new tables at each step.
* feat(lua): vim.tbl_contains supports general tables and predicates
Problem: `vim.tbl_contains` only works for list-like tables (integer
keys without gaps) and primitive values (in particular, not for nested
tables).
Solution: Rename `vim.tbl_contains` to `vim.list_contains` and add new
`vim.tbl_contains` that works for general tables and optionally allows
`value` to be a predicate function that is checked for every key.
- version.cmp(): assert valid version
- add test for loading vim.version (the other tests use shared.lua in
the test runner)
- reduce test scopes, reword test descriptions
Problem:
gen_vimdoc.py / lua2dox.lua does not support @defgroup or \defgroup
except for "api-foo" modules.
Solution:
Modify `gen_vimdoc.py` to look for section names based on `helptag_fmt`.
TODO:
- Support @module ?
https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotations#module
Problem:
Help tags like vim.treesitter.language.add() are confusing because
`vim.treesitter.language` is (thankfully) not a user-facing module.
Solution:
Ignore the "fstem" when generating "treesitter" tags.
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/22398 broke the job because there
is no `build/bin/nvim`
This keeps the preference for `build/bin/nvim` but adds back `nvim` as
fallback if it doesn't exist.
Problem:
Treesitter injections are slow because all injected trees are invalidated on every change.
Solution:
Implement smarter invalidation to avoid reparsing injected regions.
- In on_bytes, try and update self._regions as best we can. This PR just offsets any regions after the change.
- Add valid flags for each region in self._regions.
- Call on_bytes recursively for all children.
- We still need to run the query every time for the top level tree. I don't know how to avoid this. However, if the new injection ranges don't change, then we re-use the old trees and avoid reparsing children.
This should result in roughly a 2-3x reduction in tree parsing when the comment injections are enabled.
Having to specify CI_BUILD for every CI job requires boilerplate. More
importantly, it's easy to forget to enable CI_BUILD, as seen by
8a20f9f98a. It's simpler to remember to
turn CI_BUILD off when a job errors instead of remembering that every
new job should have CI_BUILD on.
- Suggest reading CONTRIBUTING.md once, not for each commit failure
- Suggest using "fix" type if none of the provided types are appropriate
- Remove "dist" type. It's rarely used and can be replaced by using the
"build" type
When I run ./scripts/bump_deps.lua I get an error:
Vim:E475: Invalid value for argument cmd: 'command' is not executable
Running command -v in shell fixes this.
Problem:
Build is not reproducible, because generated source files (.c/.h/) are not
deterministic, mostly because Lua pairs() is unordered by design (for security).
https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/626#issuecomment-707005671https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-next
> The order in which the indices are enumerated is not specified [...]
>
>> The hardening of the VM deliberately randomizes string hashes. This in
>> turn randomizes the iteration order of tables with string keys.
Solution:
- Update the code generation scripts to be deterministic.
- That is only a partial solution: the exported function
(funcs_metadata.generated.h) and ui event
(ui_events_metadata.generated.h) metadata have some mpack'ed
tables, which are not serialized deterministically.
- As a workaround, introduce `PRG_GEN_LUA` cmake setting, so you can
inject a modified build of luajit (with LUAJIT_SECURITY_PRN=0)
that preserves table order.
- Longer-term we should change the mpack'ed data structure so it no
longer uses tables keyed by strings.

Problem:
Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua
scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output.
Solution:
- support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes#15749
- exit without +q
- remove lua2dox_filter
- remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config
is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable).
- use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job
Examples:
$ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help
Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128)
...
$ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2
$ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l -
TODO?
-e executes Lua code
-l loads a module
-i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.
Use `white-space: pre-wrap` to preserve white space as per `pre`, but to
allow line wrapping if the display runs out of horizontal space.
This prevents lines overflowing their box, and causing horizontal
scrolling across the entire page on small screens.
This `pre-wrap` technique is used by GitHub to format code for mobile.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space#pre-wrap

groundwork for this feature and for their work on some of the helper
utility functions and tests
Problem: Some source files are too big.
Solution: Move buffer and window related functions to evalbuffer.c and
evalwindow.c. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#4898)
261f346f81
This function accepts a path to a file and prompts the user if the file
is trusted. If the user confirms that the file is trusted, the contents
of the file are returned. The user's decision is stored in a trust
database at $XDG_STATE_HOME/nvim/trust. When this function is invoked
with a path that is already marked as trusted in the trust database, the
user is not prompted for a response.
This will enable a larger amount of chunks being automatically included
due to fewer formatting differences between the vim and neovim files.
The strategy is straightforward, if a bit tedious:
- Get a list of all changed files.
- Checkout parent commit. Copy all relevant files to a temporary
location.
- Checkout patch commit. Copy all relevant files to a temporary
location.
- Format .c and .h files with uncrustify.
- Generate a diff from from these files.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/6226
Problem:
`gen_help_html.lua` does not properly handle tab characters after
"concealed" text (tags, taglinks, codespans). This causes misaligned
layout in "old" (preformatted) docs.
For text like `*tag*`, |tag_link|, and `code_span`, Vim hides the "*",
"|", "`" characters, but Vim still counts those characters for "virtual
column" when a tab character follows it. So if you have a tag of say
6 characters long, those two concealed character would lead to the tab
character after it start at column 8. gen_help_html.lua doesn't account
for that which leads to formatting flaws in the generated output.
Solution:
Add two spaces after concealed nodes that are followed by a tab char.
Made obsolete by now graduated `filetype.lua` (enabled by default).
Note that changes or additions to the filetype detection still need to
be made through a PR to vim/vim as we port the _logic_ as well as tests.
Problem:
The generated ToC (table of contents) uses anchors derived from the
heading title, e.g. the "Global Plugins" heading yields:
https://neovim.io/doc/user/usr_05.html#_global-plugins-
so if the heading title changes, then the old URL (anchor) is broken.
Solution:
:help tags change less often than heading titles, so if a heading
contains a *tag*, use that as its anchor name instead. Example:
https://neovim.io/doc/user/usr_05.html#standard-plugin
- Improve generated HTML by updating parser which includes fixes for
single "'" and single "|":
https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc/pull/31
- Updated parser also fixes the conceal issue for "help" highlight
queries https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc/issues/23 by
NOT including whitespace in nodes.
- But this means we need to restore the getws() function which scrapes
leading whitespace from the original input (buffer).
