The benefits are primarily being able to use FetchContent, which allows
for a more flexible dependency handling. Other various quality-of-life
features such as `-B` and `-S` flags are also included.
This also removes broken `--version` generation as it does not work for
version 3.10 and 3.11 due to the `JOIN` generator expression.

Notable changes:
- Downloads are significantly faster, upwards of 90% improvement in worst case
scenarios.
- Artifacts can be downloaded from other workflow runs and repositories when
supplied with a PAT.
Python3 provider tests suddenly became extremely flaky on macos for
unknown reasons. For some reason, installing python with the
setup-python action over using the default python fixes the flakiness.
Use this workaround for the time being to unblock CI while we figure out
the root cause.
- silence false warnings on MSVC
- merge `clang-tidy` cmake target into `lintc` and remove the
corresponding make target
- use cmake's built-in endianness detection
In cases where the generated files depend on changes to Nvim itself,
generating the files with an older version of Nvim will fail because
those changes are not present in the older version.
For example, if a new option is added then the generator script should
be run with the version of Nvim that contains the new option, or else
the generation will fail.

These are meant for expensive or situational tests that may not be
suitable to run each time, but can occasionally be useful.
Currently only add testing for s390x. The job is enabled by adding the
ci-s390x label in github.
This will run the three test suites (unit, functional and old) in
parallel, meaning that neovim is built for each test and run separately.
This has a slight increase in total CI usage, but it allows rerunning
only the specific test suite that failed for flaky tests, which will
save some time.
Ideally we'd remove any drawbacks by building neovim once and reusing it
for each test suite, but that is not currently possible due to poor
upload/download speeds of the upload-artifact and download-artifact
actions. This has been addressed in
https://github.com/actions/toolkit/pull/1488, but will only be made
available in upload-artifact@v4 and download-artifact@v4.
This adds the checks in https://neovim.io/doc/reports/clang/ when using
clang-tidy. The strategy is to enable all clang-analyzer checks, and
disable only the checks for the warnings that exist currently. This
allows us to eliminate each warning type without blocking ongoing work,
but also without adding bugs for already eliminated warnings.
The plan is to eventually eliminate https://neovim.io/doc/reports/clang/
by completely integrating it into the clang-tidy check.
Also add make and cmake targets `clang-analyzer` to run this check.
This reverts commit e71c7898ca.
Triggering jobs on users own fork turned out to be not that useful, and
only necessary in rare moments. It's easier to adjust the CI scripts if
the users wants CI results before creating a pull request. It also
reduces the complexity of the CI code.
This will fix the failing release job.
Ubuntu 18.04 is incompatible with checkout action version 4, which
requires glibc 2.28+. This will bump the minimum glibc version required
to use the release versions to 2.31. People requring the older releases
can find them at https://github.com/neovim/neovim-releases.
This partially reverts commit 7d0479c558.
The job has been particularly unstable when used with docker on
cirrus-ci, which is especially bad as it's meant to be a non-flaky and
simple test.
Problem: When "triage" job is run after "type-scope" job, it may
remove labels added by the "type-scope" job.
Solution: Run "type-scope" job after "triage" job.
- eval.lua is now the source of truth.
- Formatting is much more consistent.
- Fixed Lua type generation for polymorphic functions (get(), etc).
- Removed "Overview" section from builtin.txt
- Can generate this if we really want it.
- Moved functions from sign.txt and testing.txt into builtin.txt.
- Removed the *timer* *timers* tags since libuv timers via vim.uv should be preferred.
- Removed the temp-file-name tag from tempname()
- Moved lueval() from lua.txt to builtin.txt.
* Fix indent
* fixup!
* fixup! fixup!
* fixup! better tag formatting
* fixup: revert changes no longer needed
* fixup! CI

This will abort if lint programs are not found, and is meant primarily
for the lint job in CI. Supersedes the REQUIRED argument in
add_glob_target as it's a superior replacement by being a built-in
solution.
Neovim QT was originally bundled on Windows as a response to the then
lackluster terminal options. The situation has dramatically changed,
with viable options such as Windows terminal, Alacritty and Wezterm to
name a few. The Windows build no longer needs this special treatment for
neovim to be usable.
Pros:
- Release builds will be smaller.
- Less maintenance burden.
- Clearer separation of responsibility (neovim issues go to the neovim
repo and neovim-qt issues to the neovim-qt repo).
- More consistent treatment between platforms.
Cons:
- Users who've come to expect neovim-qt to be bundled with nvim will
need to adjust and download neovim-qt from
https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt instead.
- Similarly, build scripts will need to be adjusted to reflect this
change.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/21209.
It's not needed anymore as it does the exact same thing as
functionaltest. The functionaltest target will test the lua type neovim
was built with, which can be toggled with the PREFER_LUA option.
Uncrustify is sensitive to version changes, which causes friction for
contributors that doesn't have that exact version. It's also simpler to
download and install the correct version than to have bespoke version
checking.
This will allow contributors to test changes in their own fork when
pushing without needing to make a pull request. This can be useful when
wanting to test out an idea before initiating a review process.
Make the following assumptions when defining concurrency:
- Pull request will work the same.
- Pushes to the neovim repo will work the same: each unique commit will
trigger a test run that won't cancel each other.
- Pushes to forks will cancel older CI runs on the same branch, similar
to how pull requests work.
This will create duplicate CI runs when doing a pull request, one in the
neovim repo for the pull request event and one in the fork for the push
event. This is an acceptable trade as the runs in the fork doesn't count
towards the CI limit of neovim. Contributors are also free to disable
these actions in their own fork if they wish.
This will prevent situations where the linting works on CI but not
locally, at the cost of increased CI time.
Also manually ignore `runtime/vim/lua/re.lua`, as the .styluaignore
isn't respected when specifying a file instead of a directory.
Cirrus ci automatically pushes/caches docker images, which makes
containerization much simpler to handle. Moving this job to cirrus ci
shortens the job by a minute, and reduces github actions CI usage by two
minutes per PR.
`cmake --preset ci`
is equivalent to
`cmake -B build -G Ninja -D CI_BUILD=ON`
Also remove build presets as they're not very useful without workflow
presets, which are only available in schema versions 6 and above.
The shipped versions of xdiff already does everything diff does, so this
duplication of tools isn't necessary. Furthermore, this setup is more
consistent overall, as the 'diffopt=external' option should be for
external programs rather than programs we bundle neovim with.
Install diffutils for oldtests in CI to avoid needing to modify tests.
Team reviewers is a nice feature that comes with a severe drawback: it
makes testing the workflows incredibly difficult as they won't work
without a similar token by the tester.
Currently, the release build picks up headers in
`/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Headers`. You can verify this by
downloading the latest nightly build and checking the output of `nvim
--version`.
These headers are likely to be from a different version of `libintl` than the
one we link to. Let's avoid usage of them by setting `CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK` to
`NEVER`.
Having multiple release artifacts per platform is a maintenance burden.
Furthermore, it is a maintenance burden that doesn't directly improve
the Nvim editor itself. The releases are meant to be a quick way for
users to try out and use neovim on their platform and was never intended
to be a buffet of releases for every conceivable setup.
Users are encouraged to the following replacements:
- Github action `action-setup-vim` to have neovim installed on their
PATH for their CI jobs. See https://github.com/rhysd/action-setup-vim.
- Use the appimage, either as is or by extracting it
- To use as is, run `chmod u+x nvim.appimage && ./nvim.appimage`
- If your system does not have FUSE you can extract the appimage with
`./nvim.appimage --appimage-extract && ./squashfs-root/usr/bin/nvim`
- Build it manually. See https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim.
Work on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/22684
Installing the ruby provider takes anything between 1 and 1.5 minutes on
Windows, which is a big drain on our CI. Remove it until we find a more
sustainable solution.
The lua client is no longer needed after
d6279f9392. One of its dependencies,
mpack, is still needed however. Remove lua-nvim and replace it with
lua-mpack.
The other packages are most likely not needed as we no longer run tests
for external dependencies.
If one uses .deps when DEPS_BUILD_DIR is defined in another location it
leads to very surprising behaviors, as it looks for libraries in other
places other than .deps.
Currently files to install in runtime/ is detected by recursive glob
pattern which has two problems:
- cmake needs to do a of work at config time and
build/runtime/cmake_install.cmake becomes HUGE (2.5MB, biggest config file)
- we need to explicitly specify each file suffix used in the entire
runtime, which is duplication of information.
These globs specify every single file in a subdirectory.
Thus, we can just install every runtime/ subdirectory as a single
install command. Furthermore, at the top-level, only .vim and .lua files
need to be installed.
Further possible refactor: we could move files which does not belong
in $PREFIX/runtime out of $REPO/runtime. Then runtime could be installed
with a single install_helper(DIRECTORY ...) command.
Having separate directory location causes failures to be inconsistent
and ultimately confusing. A common problem is a file with a particular
name is searched for the entire repository, which gives different
results if the dependency directory is inside the neovim directory or
outside of it.
