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.

The labeler adds "lua" label to too many files. When there is already
a "treesitter" or "lsp" label, a "lua" label isn't useful. Instead it's
better to add the label manually to PRs for general Lua support.
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.
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.
Multi-config generators can be tricky so testing them would be good.
Also test GCC release and MinSizeRel build types as they're prone to
unusual warnings. Remove release testing from test.yml as this is a
sufficient replacement.
Having a workflow that only builds neovim without running all of the
tests is a cheap way to test the build still works without burning too
much CI time.
libtool, autoconf, automake and perl are no longer dependencies of
neovim and doesn't need to be installed in CI anymore. The dependencies
and the commit that removed them as dependencies are the following:
libtool: b05100a9ea
perl: 20a932cb72
autoconf+automake: e23c5fda0a
ci: add GCC release testing
We currently have no release testing, so it's good to check for any
unwanted behavior on release builds as well. Prefer GCC over clang, as
GCC release builds seem to create more warnings on release compared to
debug.
Detect if on CI by checking that the CI environment variable is set to "true".
This is a common pattern among CI providers, including github actions and
cirrus.
Having CI scripts that is separate from the build system causes
tremendous amounts of problems, headaches and bugs. Testing the validity
of the scripts locally become near impossible as time goes on as they're
only vetted if it works on whatever CI provider we happened to have at
the time, with their own quirks and behavior.
The extra indirection between "cmake <-> general CI scripts <-> GHA" is
also a frequent source of problems, as the orchestration needs to be
done with environment variables, cmake flags and github actions matrix
strategy. This combination has turned out to be exceptionally fragile.
Examples:
15394b685513aa23b62ahttps://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/22072#discussion_r1094390713
A lot of the code was inlined to .github/workflows/ci.yml without
further modifications. While this in itself doesn't integrate with our
build system any more than the current situation, it does
1. remove a level of indirection, and more importantly
2. allow us to slowly start integrating the CI into our build system now
that all the relevant code is in one place.
* ci: show all logs at the end of a run
The current CI won't show the logs on error due to early exit. This will
at least show the logs, although for all tests at once.
More specifically, move the job testing the oldest supported cmake into
its own job. This opens the way for other jobs to use powerful and
advanced cmake features such as choosing which files to use with the -S
flag.
Removed testing from this job as this probably won't reveal anything
that other jobs already doesn't already show, since the only difference
is the cmake version.
