It's possible that a child process won't close it's standard streams, even after
it exits. This can be evidenced with the "xclip" program:
:call system('xclip -i -selection clipboard', 'DATA')
Before this commit, the above command wouldn't return, even though the xclip
program had exited. That is because `xclip` wasn't closing it's stdout/stderr
streams, which would block pending_refs from ever reaching 0.
Now the job.c module was refactored to ensure all streams are closed when the
uv_process_t handle is closed.
Sanity API checks made by the python-client in the api-python travis target were
converted to lua and will now live in this repository. This will simplify
performing breaking changes to the API as it won't be necessary to send parallel
PRs the python-client.
Now that the lua client is available, python/lupa are no longer necessary to run
the functional tests. The helper functions previously defined in
run-functional-tests.py were adapted to test/functional/helpers.lua.
Busted can only discover tests from a single directory. In order to allow tests
under 'legacy' to run as a functional test, it needed to be moved to
'test/functional'.
The 'lupa' python package provides a simple way to seamless integrate lua and
python code.
This commit replaces vroom by a python script that exposes the 'neovim' package
to a lua state, and invokes busted to run functional tests. This is a temporary
solution that will enable writing functional tests using lua/bused while a lua
client library is not available.
The reason for dropping vroom is flexibility: Lua/busted has a nice DSL-style
syntax while also providing the customization power of a full programming
language. Another reason is to use a single framework for unit/functional tests.
Two other changes were performed in this commit:
- Instead of "gcc-unittest/gcc-ia32", the travis builds for gcc are now
identified by "gcc/gcc-32". They will run unit/functional tests for both 64
and 32 bits.
- Old integration tests(in src/nvim/testdir) are now ran by the 'oldtest' target
