Problem:
Lua functions that return multiple results are declared by using
multiple `@return` docstring directives. But the generated docs don't
make it obvious what this represents.
Solution:
- Generate a "Return (multiple)" heading for multiple-value functions.
- Fix `@note` directives randomly placed after `@return`.
Problem: some API functions that check textlock (usually those that can change
curwin or curbuf) can break the cmdwin.
Solution: make FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK call text_locked() instead, which already
checks for textlock, cmdwin and `<expr>` status.
Add FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK_ALLOW_CMDWIN to allow such functions to be usable in the
cmdwin if they can work properly there; the opt-in nature of this attribute
should hopefully help mitigate future bugs.
Also fix a regression in #22634 that made functions checking textlock usable in
`<expr>` mappings, and rename FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK to FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK.
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
Closes#18086
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`
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.
- 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:
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_.

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.
Problem:
The {foo} parameters listed in `:help api` and similar generated docs,
are intended to be a "list" but they aren't prefixed with a list symbol.
This prevents parsers from understanding the list, which forces
generators like `gen_help_html.lua` to use hard-wrapped/preformatted
layout instead of a soft-wrapped "flow" layout.
Solution:
Modify gen_vimdoc.py to prefix {foo} parameters with a "•" symbol.
In case nvim A sends nvim_error_event to nvim B, it would
respond with another nvim_error_event due to unknown
request name. Fix this by adding dummy request handler for now.
When checking the version of the doxygen installed from conda the output
has the following format:
1.9.2 (ee54ebd4f0ad83d9c44f19a459146de64d0ffba2*)
This would cause an error in the "Missing API docs" CI job. This fix
will correctly parse the doxygen version for both stable releases
("1.9.2") as well as the version with the git commit hash attached.
There have been a few instances where developers got confused as to why
their generated documentation differs from the one generated by the CI.
More often than not, the reason is that their doxygen version is older
than 1.9.0, which is the current minimum version. Having a simple
version check will help save future developers avoid this problem.
Previously, `delete_lines_below` would raise `FileNotFoundError` when
adding a new file to `CONFIG` and you had to manually write a file with
help tag of the first section as placeholder. This change relieves you
of that need.
