By making it a separate module, the embedded Nvim session can require
this module directly instead of setup code sending over the module via
RPC.
Also make exec_lua wrap _G.print so messages can be seen
in the test output immediately as the exec_lua returns.
Problem:
When tmpdir is local. The returned values from tmpname may already
exist. This can cause problems for tests which pass `create=false` as
they may require the file to not exist yet.
Solution:
When creating tmp names, always remove it to ensure it doesn't exist,
and optionally open it if `create~=false`
Additionally refactor the tmpname code and flattrn some functions into
constants.
Also while debugging this issue. It was discovered that `exec_lua()`
doesn't report error messages properly. This has been fixed.
Problem:
The default builtin UI client does not declare its client info. This
reduces discoverability and makes it difficult for plugins to identify
the UI.
Solution:
- Call nvim_set_client_info after attaching, as recommended by `:help dev-ui`.
- Also set the "pid" field.
- Also change `ui_active()` to return a count. Not directly relevant to
this commit, but will be useful later.
This module is generally used by any tests that need the full Nvim TUI
instead of `screen.lua`. Thus it should live in `functional/` instead of
in `functional/terminal/`.
- `alter_slashes` belongs in `testutil.lua`, not `testnvim.lua`.
- `alter_slashes` is an unusual name. Rename it to `fix_slashes`.
- invert its behavior, to emphasize that `/` slashes are the preferred,
pervasive convention, not `\` slashes.
Problem:
If $NVIM_APPNAME is a relative dir path, Nvim fails to start its
primary/default server, and `v:servername` is empty.
Root cause is d34c64e342, but this wasn't
noticed until 96128a5076 started reporting the error more loudly.
Solution:
- `server_address_new`: replace slashes "/" in the appname before using
it as a servername.
- `vim_mktempdir`: always prefer the system-wide top-level "nvim.user/"
directory. That isn't intended to be specific to NVIM_APPNAME; rather,
each *subdirectory* ("nvim.user/xxx") is owned by each Nvim instance.
Nvim "apps" can be identified by the server socket(s) stored in those
per-Nvim subdirs.
fix#30256
Problem:
`'scrollbind'` does not work properly if the window being scrolled
automatically contains any filler/virtual lines (except for diff filler
lines).
This is because when the scrollbind check is done, the logic only
considers changes to topline which are represented as line numbers.
Solution:
Write the logic for determine the scroll amount to take into account
filler/virtual lines.
Fixes#29751
Problem:
- The test for vim.deprecate() has a "mock" which is outdated because
vim.deprecate() no longer uses that.
- The tests get confused after a version bump.
Solution:
Make the tests adapt to the current version.
Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.
