backport #26034
Problem:
'nofsync' may lose data if the system has a hard shutdown. #9888
Solution:
Change default to 'fsync'. This may be revisited in the future when
'nofsync' can be made safer.

The builtin cat was removed in 4bc9229ecb
as it is not used during runtime but only for tests. However, it is a
very small and useful utility program that we need for a lot of our
tests, so there's no harm in bundling it, and it helps us avoid
complicating our build system by having two versions of neovim (neovim
for users and neovim for testing).
Also skip tests if "grep" or "sleep" isn't available.
Problem:
If vim_tempdir mysteriously goes missing (typically by "antivirus" on
Windows), any plugins using tempname() will be broken for the rest of
the session. #1432#9833https://groups.google.com/g/vim_use/c/ef55jNm5czI
Steps:
mkdir foo
TMPDIR=./foo nvim
:echo tempname()
!rm -r foo
:echo tempname()
tempname() still uses the foo path even though it was deleted.
Solution:
- Don't assume that vim_tempdir exists.
- If it goes missing once, retry vim_mktempdir and log (silently) an error.
- If it goes missing again, retry vim_mktempdir and show an error.
Rejected in Vim for performance reasons:

But, logging shows that `vim_gettempdir` is not called frequently.

Previously, if the autocommands are not triggered, the tests may still
pass because no assertion is done. Add an assertion so that the tests
will fail if the autocommands aren't triggered.
Since before_each() doesn't call clear() in these tests, after_each()
may call expect_exit() without calling clear() if a test is skipped,
causing frequent test failures on Cirrus CI. Close the session instead.
Problem:
When "-l" is followed by "--", we stop sending args to the Lua script
and treat "--" in the usual way. This was for flexibility but didn't
have a strong use-case, and has these problems:
- prevents Lua "-l" scripts from handling "--" in their own way.
- complicates the startup logic (must call nlua_init before command_line_scan)
Solution:
Don't treat "--" specially if it follows "-l".
Problem:
Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua
scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output.
Solution:
- support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes#15749
- exit without +q
- remove lua2dox_filter
- remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config
is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable).
- use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job
Examples:
$ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help
Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128)
...
$ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2
$ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l -
TODO?
-e executes Lua code
-l loads a module
-i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.
Extend the capabilities of is_os to detect more platforms such as
freebsd and openbsd. Also remove `iswin()` helper function as it can be
replaced by `is_os("win")`.
This is essentially a convenience wrapper around the `pending()`
function, similar to `skip_fragile()` but more general-purpose.
Also remove `pending_win32` function as it can be replaced by
`skip(iswin())`.
Fix backups failing for symlink files

Remove testing hacks in scripts for windows
Skip FreeBSD
Something appears up with these types of tests for FreeBSD on
Circus, see 2d6735d8ce
The old behaviour (e.g. via `set display-=msgsep`) will not be available.
Assuming that messages always are being drawn on msg_grid
(or not drawn at all, and forwarded to `ext_messages` enabled UI)
will allows some simplifcations and enhancements moving forward.
Problem:
Cannot opt-out of "WARNING: The file has been changed since reading
it!!!", even with ":write!".
Solution:
Change ":write!" to skip the warning.
closes#7270
dispatch.sr.ht is being deprecated, meaning that using sourcehut CI
won't be possible (see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/19609).
Since Github Actions doesn't provide any BSD runners an external service
is required and Cirrus CI seems like a good replacement for sourcehut.
Initially experimented with using FreeBSD and OpenBSD virtual machines
in GitHub Actions, but Cirrus has been a much better fit with better
performance, logs and overall experience.
Failing tests are automatically skipped on FreeBSD regardless if it's on
CI or not. Ideally these tests should only be skipped in CI with the
help of `isCI` helper function. Unfortunately, the tests don't recognize
the environment variable CIRRUS_CI even if it's set manually. This
workaround is good enough for the time being, but we might want to only
skip tests when using the CI (or even better, fix the failing tests).
Closes: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/19609
Problem:
Since right-click can now show a popup menu, we can provide messaging to
guide users who expect 'mouse' to be disabled by default. So 'mouse' can
now be enabled by default.
Solution:
Do it.
Closes#15521
Problem:
- Since c57f6b28d7#8519, sockets are created in ~/.local/… but XDG
spec says: "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR: Must be on the local filesystem", which
implies that XDG_STATE_DIR is potentially non-local.
- Not easy to inspect Nvim-created temp files (for debugging etc).
Solution:
- Store sockets in stdpath('run') ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR).
- Establish "/tmp/nvim.user/" as the tempdir root shared by all Nvims.
- Make ok() actually useful.
- Introduce assert_nolog().
