## Overview
- Move vim.lsp.diagnostic to vim.diagnostic
- Refactor client ids to diagnostic namespaces
- Update tests
- Write/update documentation and function signatures
Currently, non-LSP diagnostics in Neovim must hook into the LSP subsystem. This
is what e.g. null-ls and nvim-lint do. This is necessary because none of the
diagnostic API is exposed separately from the LSP subsystem.
This commit addresses this by generalizing the diagnostic subsystem beyond the
scope of LSP. The `vim.lsp.diagnostic` module is now simply a specific
diagnostic producer and primarily maintains the interface between LSP clients
and the broader diagnostic API.
The current diagnostic API uses "client ids" which only makes sense in the
context of LSP. We replace "client ids" with standard API namespaces generated
from `nvim_create_namespace`.
This PR is *mostly* backward compatible (so long as plugins are only using the
publicly documented API): LSP diagnostics will continue to work as usual, as
will pseudo-LSP clients like null-ls and nvim-lint. However, the latter can now
use the new interface, which looks something like this:
```lua
-- The namespace *must* be given a name. Anonymous namespaces will not work with diagnostics
local ns = vim.api.nvim_create_namespace("foo")
-- Generate diagnostics
local diagnostics = generate_diagnostics()
-- Set diagnostics for the current buffer
vim.diagnostic.set(ns, diagnostics, bufnr)
```
Some public facing API utility methods were removed and internalized directly in `vim.diagnostic`:
* `vim.lsp.util.diagnostics_to_items`
## API Design
`vim.diagnostic` contains most of the same API as `vim.lsp.diagnostic` with
`client_id` simply replaced with `namespace`, with some differences:
* Generally speaking, functions that modify or add diagnostics require a namespace as their first argument, e.g.
```lua
vim.diagnostic.set({namespace}, {bufnr}, {diagnostics}[, {opts}])
```
while functions that read or query diagnostics do not (although in many cases one may be supplied optionally):
```lua
vim.diagnostic.get({bufnr}[, {namespace}])
```
* We use our own severity levels to decouple `vim.diagnostic` from LSP. These
are designed similarly to `vim.log.levels` and currently include:
```lua
vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR
vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN
vim.diagnostic.severity.INFO
vim.diagnostic.severity.HINT
```
In practice, these match the LSP diagnostic severity levels exactly, but we
should treat this as an interface and not assume that they are the same. The
"translation" between the two severity types is handled transparently in
`vim.lsp.diagnostic`.
* The actual "diagnostic" data structure is: (**EDIT:** Updated 2021-09-09):
```lua
{
lnum = <number>,
col = <number>,
end_lnum = <number>,
end_col = <number>,
severity = <vim.diagnostic.severity>,
message = <string>
}
```
This differs from the LSP definition of a diagnostic, so we transform them in
the handler functions in vim.lsp.diagnostic.
## Configuration
The `vim.lsp.with` paradigm still works for configuring how LSP diagnostics are
displayed, but this is a specific use-case for the `publishDiagnostics` handler.
Configuration with `vim.diagnostic` is instead done with the
`vim.diagnostic.config` function:
```lua
vim.diagnostic.config({
virtual_text = true,
signs = false,
underline = true,
update_in_insert = true,
severity_sort = false,
}[, namespace])
```
(or alternatively passed directly to `set()` or `show()`.)
When the `namespace` argument is `nil`, settings are set globally (i.e. for
*all* diagnostic namespaces). This is what user's will typically use for their
local configuration. Diagnostic producers can also set configuration options for
their specific namespace, although this is generally discouraged in order to
respect the user's global settings. All of the values in the table passed to
`vim.diagnostic.config()` are resolved in the same way that they are in
`on_publish_diagnostics`; that is, the value can be a boolean, a table, or
a function:
```lua
vim.diagnostic.config({
virtual_text = function(namespace, bufnr)
-- Only enable virtual text in buffer 3
return bufnr == 3
end,
})
```
## Misc Notes
* `vim.diagnostic` currently depends on `vim.lsp.util` for floating window
previews. I think this is okay for now, although ideally we'd want to decouple
these completely.
This generalizes diagnostic handling outside of just the scope of LSP.
LSP clients are now a specific case of a diagnostic producer, but the
diagnostic subsystem is decoupled from the LSP subsystem (or will be,
eventually).

Adding the version we just released in the "version bump" commit is
useless, since that means the actual release only reports the old
version.
Closes#15362
[skip ci]
The "pull_request" trigger only enables read-access for forks,
"pull_request_target" is required if a fork is to be a trigger. Also
changed the python script to reflect this change.
Problem: Ex command info contains confusing information.
Solution: When using the NOTADR flag use ADDR_OTHER for the address type.
Cleanup code using NOTADR. Check for errors in
create_cmdidxs.vim. Adjust Makefile to see the errors.
b731689e85
Use Lua's "assert()" to make an invalid command definition
a compilation error.
Misc changes:
Remove 'RESTRICT' flag.
Neovim does not support "restricted" mode
since commit 7777532ceb.
TODO:
Do not generate files before Lua assertions
so that CMake always runs the generator script
if the previous build has an invalid command definition.
Breaking Changes:
- Deprecated all `vim.lsp.util.{*diagnostics*}()` functions.
- Instead, all functions must be found in vim.lsp.diagnostic
- For now, they issue a warning ONCE per neovim session. In a
"little while" we will remove them completely.
- `vim.lsp.callbacks` has moved to `vim.lsp.handlers`.
- For a "little while" we will just redirect `vim.lsp.callbacks` to
`vim.lsp.handlers`. However, we will remove this at some point, so
it is recommended that you change all of your references to
`callbacks` into `handlers`.
- This also means that for functions like |vim.lsp.start_client()|
and similar, keyword style arguments have moved from "callbacks"
to "handlers". Once again, these are currently being forward, but
will cease to be forwarded in a "little while".
- Changed the highlight groups for LspDiagnostic highlight as they were
inconsistently named.
- For more information, see |lsp-highlight-diagnostics|
- Changed the sign group names as well, to be consistent with
|lsp-highlight-diagnostics|
General Enhancements:
- Rewrote much of the getting started help document for lsp. It also
provides a much nicer configuration strategy, so as to not recommend
globally overwriting builtin neovim mappings.
LSP Enhancements:
- Introduced the concept of |lsp-handlers| which will allow much better
customization for users without having to copy & paste entire files /
functions / etc.
Diagnostic Enhancements:
- "goto next diagnostic" |vim.lsp.diagnostic.goto_next()|
- "goto prev diagnostic" |vim.lsp.diagnostic.goto_prev()|
- For each of the gotos, auto open diagnostics is available as a
configuration option
- Configurable diagnostic handling:
- See |vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics()|
- Delay display until after insert mode
- Configure signs
- Configure virtual text
- Configure underline
- Set the location list with the buffers diagnostics.
- See |vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_loclist()|
- Better performance for getting counts and line diagnostics
- They are now cached on save, to enhance lookups.
- Particularly useful for checking in statusline, etc.
- Actual testing :)
- See ./test/functional/plugin/lsp/diagnostic_spec.lua
- Added `guisp` for underline highlighting
NOTE: "a little while" means enough time to feel like most plugins and
plugin authors have had a chance to refactor their code to use the
updated calls. Then we will remove them completely. There is no need to
keep them, because we don't have any released version of neovim that
exposes these APIs. I'm trying to be nice to people following HEAD :)

- remove redundant autocmd list
This "grouped" list is useless, it only gets in the way when searching
for event names.
- intro.txt: cleanup
- starting.txt: update, revisit
- doc: `:help bisect`
- mbyte.txt: update aliases 1656367b90. closes#11960
- options: remove 'guifontset'. Why:
- It is complicated and is used by almost no one.
- It is unlikely to be implemented by Nvim GUIs (complicated to parse,
specific to Xorg...).
* Fix some small doc issues
* doc: fixup

* Fix lint and rebase
* Remove bad advice
* Ugh, stupid mpack files...
* Don't let people include these for now until they specifically want to
* Prevent duplicate tag
