Commit @45525853d352 removed usage of the `job_write_cb` for closing stdin due
to a memory error, but that doesn't work anymore because `job_close_in` closes
stdin immediately, possibly trimming input data before it is fully written.
Since most memory issues with jobs have been fixed, re-add the `job_write_cb`
call to ensure stdin is only closed when it should. Also add tests for scenarios
where using the callback makes a difference.
Tests which spin the event loop and stop it in a notification handler have a
chance of re-entering the event loop due to the `vim_eval` call in the
`request()` helper(assuming the request call is what triggered the
notification). Since this will cause an error to be thrown by the lua client,
don't send the extra `vim_eval` request when the loop has been stopped.
Use save_tv_as_string(), same as vimL system(). This also makes
jobsend() more liberal in what it can accept. For example,
`jobsend(j, 123)` is now valid.
Closes#1176
Factor out string_to_list() from f_system()'s implementation
and use that to set job_data. This has the technical advantage of
preserving NULs, and may be more convenient for users.
Required for #1176.
During test setup, we used to call a vimscript function(BeforeEachTest) that
attempted to restore Nvim to it's initial state as much as possible in order to
provide a clean environment for running new tests. This approach has proven to
be unreliable, as some tests leave state that can affect other tests, eventually
causing failures that are difficult to debug.
This commit changes the 'clear' function so it will restart Nvim every time it
is called, which is a slower, but more reliable solution that will simplify
spotting bugs in the future.
Some other improvements/fixes were also performed:
- Whenever an error is detected in a handler passed to "run()", the event loop
will be stopped and the error will be propagated to the main thread.
- Errors and the "cleanup()" function will always send a quit command to the
current Nvim instance. This should prevent memory starvation when running
tests under valgrind(where each Nvim instance can consume a lot of memory).
- Fixed a wrong assertion in server_requests_spec.lua. Previously the failure
was undetected in a notification handler.
- Fixed some tests to expect fully clean registers. The deleted cleanup function
used to put an empty string in every register, but that resulted in a extra
line being added.
It is currently possible for a client to send a response that doesn't match the
current server->client request(at the top of the stack). This commit fixes that
by delaying notifications to until the first `channel_send_call` invocation
returns.
Also remove the "call stack" size check, vim will already break if the call
stack goes too deep.
The options_spec.lua suite has one purpose: Check if the :options commands will
throw any exception(:options is implemented by $VIMRUNTIME/optwin.vim). For this
it is best to use the `vim_command` API function since it will automatically
catch exceptions and forward them via msgpack-rpc.
Also, the option window seems to affect other tests, so call `restart` in the
teardown hook.
Since the introduction of the FOR_ALL_BUFFERS macro, 'sign unplace id'
without a buffer was only removing the sign from the first buffer rather
than all buffers, as described in the documentation.

- Move the cleanup function definition into `restart()` so restart can be
selectively used as a hook
- Improve error handling: Before this, errors while running the event loop would
cause busted to get stuck. Now the error is properly raised by stopping the
event loop first.
