msgpack_rpc_to_object (called by handle_request .. msgpack_rpc_to_array)
always NUL-terminates API Strings.
But handle_request .. msgpack_rpc_get_handler_for operates on a raw
msgpack_object, before preparation.
Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined
highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and
simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic
identification of builtin and syntax highlights.
Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for
compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin
TUI uses the new line-based protocol.
cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.
`cat` is distributed with neovim, so when can use it everywhere, as
opposed to `sort`.
The diffget test fails for unknown reasons on appveyor, mark it pending
for now.
- Return VimL errors instead of generic errors for:
- nvim_call_function
- nvim_call_dict_function
- Fix tests which were silently broken before this change.
This violates #6150 where we agreed not to translate API errors. But
that can be fixed later.
The `internal` param is difficult to explain, and will rarely be
anything but `true`. To avoid it, use a hack: check if the resolved
dict value starts with "function(".
Make `:verbose set ...` show when an option was last modified by an
API client or Lua script/chunk. In the case of an API client, the
channel ID is displayed.
Implement nvim_command_output with `execute({cmd},"silent")`.
Behavior changes:
- does not provoke any hit-enter prompt
- no longer prepends a newline char
- does not capture some noise (like the "[New File]" message, see the
change to tabnewentered_spec.lua)
Technically ("bug-for-bug") this a breaking change. But the previous
behavior of nvim_command_output meant that it probably wasn't used for
anything outside of tests.
Also remove the undocumented `v:command_output` variable which was
a hack introduced only for the purposes of nvim_command_output.

Change all tests to ensure a server was actually started before
expecting it to be returned from serverlist().
With the old behavior, if a GUI makes a blocking request that requires user
interaction (like nvim_input()), it would not get any screen updates.
The client, not nvim, should decide how to handle notifications during a
pending request. If an rplugin wants to avoid async calls while a sync call is
busy, it likely wants to avoid processing async calls while another async call
also is handled as well.
This may break the expectation of some existing rplugins. For compatibility,
remote/define.vim reimplements the old behavior. Clients can opt-out by
specifying `sync=urgent`.
- Legacy hosts should be updated to use `sync=urgent`. They could add a flag
indicating which async methods are always safe to call and which must wait
until the main loop returns.
- New hosts can expose the full asyncness, they don't need to offer both
behaviors.

...in order to retrieve highlights.
Added test/functional/api/highlight_spec.lua
HL_NORMAL is not really a good name, since it's more like an empty attribute than the normal's one.
If one pays attention, syn_cterm_attr2entry is never called with attr=0 because it's always special cased before.
I suggest in subsequent PRs we remove the ATTR_OFF and just insert an EMPTY ATTR/RESET_ATTR/UNINITIALIZED for id 0.
The "mapping" tests added in 541dde36e3 were flawed:
- Unlike op-pending mode, RPCs are _blocked_ during map-pending. So
a synchronous RPC like nvim_get_current_buf() waits until
'timeoutlen', then the mapping is canceled.
- helpers.expect() also performs a blocking RPC, so again that must not
intervene the two nvim_input() calls.
closes#6166
normal_finish_command() and normal_prepare() assume that any pending
operator needs to be finished after any subsequent key.
Set `finish_op = false` in nv_event() to indicate that the pending
operator shouldn't be finished in normal_execute().
This is how nv_visual() indicates that 'v' or 'V' in operator-pending
mode should not finish the current pending operator.
fixes#5398fixes#6166 (partially; mappings are still interrupted)
Asynchronous API functions are served immediately, which means pending
input could change the state of Nvim shortly after an async API function
result is returned.
nvim_get_mode() is different:
- If RPCs are known to be blocked, it responds immediately (without
flushing the input/event queue)
- else it is handled just-in-time before waiting for input, after
pending input was processed. This makes the result more reliable
(but not perfect).
Internally this is handled as a special case, but _semantically_ nothing
has changed: API users never know when input flushes, so this internal
special-case doesn't violate that. As far as API users are concerned,
nvim_get_mode() is just another asynchronous API function.
In all cases nvim_get_mode() never blocks for more than the time it
takes to flush the input/event queue (~µs).
Note: This doesn't address #6166; nvim_get_mode() will provoke #6166 if
e.g. `d` is operator-pending.
Closes#6159

Hope this will make people using feed_command less likely: this hides bugs.
Already found at least two:
1. msgpackparse() will show internal error: hash_add() in case of duplicate
keys, though it will still work correctly. Currently silenced.
2. ttimeoutlen was spelled incorrectly, resulting in option not being set when
expected. Test was still functioning somehow though. Currently fixed.
During testing found the following bugs:
1. msgpack-gen.lua script is completely unprepared for Float values either in
return type or in arguments. Specifically:
1. At the time of writing relevant code FLOAT_OBJ did not exist as well as
FLOATING_OBJ, but it would be used by msgpack-gen.lua should return type
be Float. I added FLOATING_OBJ macros later because did not know that
msgpack-gen.lua uses these _OBJ macros, otherwise it would be FLOAT_OBJ.
2. msgpack-gen.lua should use .data.floating in place of .data.float. But it
did not expect that .data subattribute may have name different from
lowercased type name.
2. vim_replace_termcodes returned its argument as-is if it receives an empty
string (as well as _vim_id*() functions did). But if something in returned
argument lives in an allocated memory such action will cause double free:
once when freeing arguments, then when freeing return value. It did not cause
problems yet because msgpack bindings return empty string as {NULL, 0} and
nothing was actually allocated.
3. New code in msgpack-gen.lua popped arguments in reversed order, making lua
bindings’ signatures be different from API ones.
When the buffer that nvim_buf_set_lines() is changing is not in any vim
window, fix_cursor() leads to calling ml_get_buf() with an invalid line
number. The condition that fix_cursor() was called on was (buf ==
curbuf), but this is always true because of the call to
switch_to_win_for_buf() earlier in the function.
Instead this should be predicated on (save_curbuf.br_buf == NULL)
- Default to powershell.
- Avoid hardcoded "-c".
- Remove ^M character from received lines.
- pending_win32(): clear() is unnecessary and it pollutes the tests.

API level is disconnected from NVIM version. The API metadata holds the
current API level, and the lowest backwards-compatible level supported
by this instance.
Release 0.1.6 is the first release that reports the Nvim version and API
level.
metadata['version'] = {
major: 0,
minor: 1,
patch: 6,
api_level: 1,
api_compatible: 0,
api_prerelease: false,

The API level may remain unchanged across Nvim releases if the API has
not changed.
When changing the API,
- set NVIM_API_PRERELEASE to true
- increment NVIM_API_LEVEL (at most once per Nvim version)
- adjust NVIM_API_LEVEL_COMPAT if backwards-compatibility was broken
api_level_0.mpack was generated from Nvim 0.1.5 with:

accordingly.
The functional tests check the API table against fixtures of past
versions of Neovim. It compares all the functions in the old table with
the new one, it does ignore some metadata attributes that do not alter
the function signature or were removed since 0.1.5. Currently the only
fixture is 0.mpack, generated from Neovim 0.1.5 with nvim --api-info.
In order to provide better compatibility with the classic bindings, the
API needs to provide the ability to query the number (really index) of
the window/tabpage.
This is needed for neovim/python-client#87, as discussed in
neovim/neovim#1898.

These tests fail on master, so it's not a regression. Changes in #4874
(parent commit) seem to work (and pass most CI), so skipping these tests
is better than blocking the changes.
In Windows Lua's os.tmpname() returns relative paths starting with \s,
prepend them with $TEMP to generate a valid path.
In OS X os.tmpname() returns paths in '/tmp' but they should be in
'/private/tmp'. We cannot use os_name() for platform detection because
some tests use tempname() before nvim is spawned, instead use one of the
following:
1. Set SYSTEM_NAME environment variable before calling the tests, it
is set from CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME(i.e. uname -s or 'Windows')
2. Call uname -s
3. Assume windows

It appears that used msgpack library is not able to parse back message created
by msgpack_rpc_from_object() if nesting level is too high, so log_server_msg now
cares about msgpack_unpack_next() return value. Also error message from
server_notifications_spec.lua is not readable if something is wrong (though at
least now it does not crash when parsing deeply nested structures).
log_server_msg() in the test reports
[msgpack-rpc] nvim -> client(1) [error] "parse error"
This removes some stack overflows in new test regarding deeply nested variables.
Now in place of crashing vim_to_object/msgpack_rpc_from_object/etc it crashes
clear_tv with stack overflow.
This ought to prevent stack overflow, but I do not see this actually working:
*lua* code crashes with stack overflow when trying to deserialize msgpack from
Neovim, Neovim is fine even if nesting level is increased 100x (though test
becomes very slow); not sure how recursive function may survive this. So it
looks like there are currently only two positive effects:
1. NULL lists are returned as empty (#4596).
2. Functional tests are slightly more fast. Very slightly. Checked for Release
build for test/functional/eval tests because benchmarking of debug mode is
not very useful.
It is otherwise impossible to determine which test failed sanitizer/valgrind
check. test/functional/helpers.lua module return was changed so that tests which
do not provide after_each function to get new check will automatically fail.
-1 is index past the end, and -2 is the index of the last element.
This eliminates the need for include_start/include_end.
Allow the handling of out-of-bounds to be configurable.
Adds support for:
- api:vim_input("<D-a>")
- ":nnoremap <C-D-S-...>" and permutations thereof
UIs must capture the modifier and send it as "<D-...>" to vim_input().
Note: Before this commit, any arbitrary ":nnoremap <{foo}-{bar}>"
mapping could already be invoked with feedkeys("\<{foo}-{bar}>"). This
commit supports "D-" as a modifier that can be combined with "C-", "A-",
"S-" in any order.
For non-GUI (terminal) support, user must:
:set <D-a>={CSI sequence}
then send the {CSI sequence} from their terminal. But this does not work
yet (regression #2204).
Closes#2190
When converting a msgpack object to a String object, strings (and byte
arrays) with length 0 are handled as errors. This is fixed by
always using the msgpack data pointer as a valid pointer. For a NULL
pointer there is nothing to copy.

Fixes#3844
Refactor input.c, normal.c and edit.c to use the K_EVENT special key to trigger
the CURSORHOLD event. In normal and edit mode, K_EVENT is treated as
K_CURSORHOLD, which enables better handling of arbitrary actions in those
states(eg: In normal mode the previous operator counts will be restored).
Also fix a test in vim_spec.lua. The test had a wrong assumption: cmdheight is
only used to determine when the press enter screen will be shown, not to limit
how many lines or control pagination.
676133aa introduced a new test for calling a nvim instance recursively.
But without '-u NONE', the vimrc (and all plugins) get loaded too, which
breaks the test for things that do stuff on VimEnter.
Consider: `let vim = rpcstart('nvim', ['--embed'])`
Allows `rpcnotify(vim, ...)` to work like an asynchronous

In Lua, all math is floating point. We need to coerce the result of a
division into a integer with the `{get,set}_height` and
`{get,set}_width` window_spec functional tests.
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.
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.
