Updated the `rpc.connect` function to support connecting to LSP servers
using hostnames, not just IP addresses. This change includes updates to
the documentation and additional test cases to verify the new
functionality.
- Modified `connect` function to resolve hostnames.
- Updated documentation to reflect the change.
- Added test case for connecting using hostname.
Added a TCP echo server utility function to the LSP test suite. This
server echoes the first message it receives and is used in tests to
verify LSP server connections via both IP address and hostname.
Refactored existing tests to use the new utility function.
this only changes the error message, so that it is clear that
the error is with the LSP server, rather than being a crash inside
nvim runtime scripts. We are already doing a lot of validation,
it's just that nil was being overlooked here.
This fixes issue #27395
vim.notify cannot be suppressed and it is not always necessary to
display a visible warning to the user if the RPC process fails to start.
For instance, a user may have the same LSP configuration across systems,
some of which may not have all of the LSP server executables installed.
In that case, the user receives a notification every time a file is
opened that they cannot suppress.
Instead of using vim.notify in vim.lsp.rpc, propagate a normal error up
through the call stack and use vim.notify in vim.lsp.start() only if
the "silent" option is not set.
This also updates lsp.start_client() to return an error message as its
second return value if an error occurred, rather than calling vim.notify
directly. Callers of lsp.start_client() will need to update call sites
appropriately if they wish to report errors to the user (or even better,
switch to vim.lsp.start).
- Added `@inlinedoc` so single use Lua types can be inlined into the
functions docs. E.g.
```lua
--- @class myopts
--- @inlinedoc
---
--- Documentation for some field
--- @field somefield integer
--- @param opts myOpts
function foo(opts)
end
```
Will be rendered as
```
foo(opts)
Parameters:
- {opts} (table) Object with the fields:
- somefield (integer) Documentation
for some field
```
- Marked many classes with with `@nodoc` or `(private)`.
We can eventually introduce these when we want to.
Problem:
The documentation flow (`gen_vimdoc.py`) has several issues:
- it's not very versatile
- depends on doxygen
- doesn't work well with Lua code as it requires an awkward filter script to convert it into pseudo-C.
- The intermediate XML files and filters makes it too much like a rube goldberg machine.
Solution:
Re-implement the flow using Lua, LPEG and treesitter.
- `gen_vimdoc.py` is now replaced with `gen_vimdoc.lua` and replicates a portion of the logic.
- `lua2dox.lua` is gone!
- No more XML files.
- Doxygen is now longer used and instead we now use:
- LPEG for comment parsing (see `scripts/luacats_grammar.lua` and `scripts/cdoc_grammar.lua`).
- LPEG for C parsing (see `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua`)
- Lua patterns for Lua parsing (see `scripts/luacats_parser.lua`).
- Treesitter for Markdown parsing (see `scripts/text_utils.lua`).
- The generated `runtime/doc/*.mpack` files have been removed.
- `scripts/gen_eval_files.lua` now instead uses `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua` directly.
- Text wrapping is implemented in `scripts/text_utils.lua` and appears to produce more consistent results (the main contributer to the diff of this change).
The dispatchers used by the RPC client should be defined in the client,
so they have been moved there. Due to this, it also made sense to move
all code related to client configuration and the creation of the RPC
client there too.
Now vim.lsp.start_client is significantly simplified and now mostly
contains logic for tracking open clients.
- Renamed client.new -> client.start
Typings introduced in #26032 and #26552 have a few conflicts, so we
merge and clean them up. We also fix some incorrect type annotation in
the `vim.lsp.rpc` package. See the associated PR for more details.
Summary:
- vim.rpc.Dispatchers -> vim.lsp.rpc.Dispatchers
- vim.lsp.rpc.Error -> lsp.ResponseError
- Revise docs
* docs(lua): teach lua2dox how to table
* docs(lua): teach gen_vimdoc.py about local functions
No more need to mark local functions with @private
* docs(lua): mention @nodoc and @meta in dev-lua-doc
* fixup!

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.
Small, but I was getting warnings about my usage of
`vim.lsp.buf_notify(bufnr, method, {example = example})` since the docs
say that `params` must be a string, however this can really be anything
when it's passed to `rpc.notify` since we just end up calling
`vim.json.encode(payload)` on it. This fixes the docs in those two
places and regenerates them.
LSP servers should be daemonized (detached) so that they run in a
separate process group from Neovim's. Among other things, this ensures
the process does not inherit Neovim's TTY (#18475).
Make this configurable so that clients can explicitly opt-out of
detaching from Nvim.
* feat(lsp)!: remove capabilities sanitization
Users must now access client.server_capabilities which matches the same
structure as the protocol.
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification
client.resolved_capabilities is no longer used to gate capabilities, and
will be removed in a future release.
BREAKING CHANGE

Previously, the built-in language server client checked if the first
argument of cmd was executable via vim.fn.executable. This ignores PATH
injected via cmd_env. Instead, we now start the client via uv.spawn, and
handle the failure mode, reporting the error back to the user.
