See https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1519 for failure report.
Cause : In OSX, /tmp is a symbolic link to /private/tmp, which causes
expected and got results different because of implicit
resolution.
Solution : Resolve path before setting expected value.
The vim_input function accepts raw terminal input and so is better to emulate
real user, especially because it is not deferred as vim_feedkeys.
Using this function required a number of changes:
- expect() was refactored to use curbuf_contents()
- The vim_eval function in request() was moved to curbuf_contents(). For most
cases this is enough(we only care for synchronizing api calls with user input
when verifying buffer contents).
- <C-@>(NUL) is preprocessed before being passed to replace_termcodes.
- Legacy test 4 had a bug that only became visible when using vim_input, it is
fixed now.
- An extra blank line deletion was required for test 101
The last two items show that vim_feedkeys because it is not 100% equivalent to
receiving terminal input.
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.
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.
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'.
