Problem: cache paths are derived by replacing each reserved/filesystem-
path-sensitive char with a `%` char in the original path. With this
method, two different files at two different paths (each containing `%`
chars) can erroneously resolve to the very same cache path in certain
edge-cases.
Solution: derive cache paths by url-encoding the original (path) instead
using `vim.uri_encode()` with `"rfc2396"`. Increment `Loader.VERSION` to
denote this change.
Problem:
On Windows, `rundll32` exits zero (success) even when given
a non-existent file.
Solution:
Mock vim.system() on Windows to force a "failure" case.
Problem:
helpers.tmpname() may create a local file, depending on circumstances.
Solution:
Only use helpers.tmpname() for its parent directory (the "temp root").
Use fs_mkdtemp() to actually get a unique name.
* perf(rtp): reduce rtp scans
Problem:
Scanning the filesystem is expensive and particularly affects
startuptime.
Solution:
Reduce the amount of redundant directory scans by relying less on glob
patterns and handle vim and lua sourcing lower down.
Problem: Bashslashes added as regexp in runtime completion may be
treated as path separator with some 'isfname' value.
Solution: Make curly braces work for runtime completion and use it.
* feat(lua): allow vim.wo to be double indexed
Problem: `vim.wo` does not implement `setlocal`

Problem:
Showing an error via vim.notify() makes it awkward for callers such as
lsp/handlers.lua to avoid showing redundant errors.
Solution:
Return the message instead of showing it. Let the caller decide whether
and when to show the message.

Rejected experiment: move vim.ui.open() to vim.env.open()
Problem:
`vim.ui` is where user-interface "providers" live, which can be
overridden. It would also be useful to have a "providers" namespace for
platform-specific features such as "open", clipboard, python, and the other
providers listed in `:help providers`. We could overload `vim.ui` to
serve that purpose as the single "providers" namespace, but
`vim.ui.nodejs()` for example seems awkward.
Solution:
`vim.env` currently has too narrow of a purpose. Overload it to also be
a namespace for `vim.env.open`.

Enforce consistent terminology (defined in
`gen_help_html.lua:spell_dict`) for common misspellings.
This does not spellcheck English in general (perhaps a future TODO,
though it may be noisy).
Problem:
- `vim.json` exposes various global options which:
- affect all Nvim Lua plugins (especially the LSP client)
- are undocumented and untested
- can cause confusing problems such as: cc76ae3abe
- `vim.json` exposes redundant mechanisms:
- `vim.json.null` is redundant with `vim.NIL`.
- `array_mt` is redundant because Nvim uses a metatable
(`vim.empty_dict()`) for empty dict instead, which `vim.json` is
configured to use by default (see `as_empty_dict`).
Example:
```
:lua vim.print(vim.json.decode('{"bar":[],"foo":{}}'))
--> { bar = {}, foo = vim.empty_dict() }
```
Thus we don't need to also decorate empty arrays with `array_mt`.
Solution:
Remove the functions from the public vim.json interface.
Comment-out the implementation code to minimize drift from upstream.
TODO:
- Expose the options as arguments to `vim.json.new()`
Problem: Current implementation of "remove trailing /" doesn't
account for the case of literal '/' as path.
Solution: Remove trailing / only if it preceded by something else.

feat(lua): add vim.system()
Problem:
Handling system commands in Lua is tedious and error-prone:
- vim.fn.jobstart() is vimscript and comes with all limitations attached to typval.
- vim.loop.spawn is too low level
Solution:
Add vim.system().
Partly inspired by Python's subprocess module
Does not expose any libuv objects.
vim.version.range() couldn't parse them correctly.
For example, vim.version.range('<0.9.0'):has('0.9.0') returned `true`.
fix: range:has() accepts vim.version()
So that it's possible to compare a range with:
vim.version.range(spec):has(vim.version())
This ensures that colorschemes in 'rtp' are tried before ones in 'pp',
because some colorschemes in 'pp' may not work if not added to 'rtp'.
This also match the current documentation better.
`nvim_(get|set)_option_value` pick the current buffer / window by default for buffer-local/window-local (but not global-local) options. So specifying `buf = 0` or `win = 0` in opts is unnecessary for those options. This PR removes those to reduce code clutter.
Uncrustify is sensitive to version changes, which causes friction for
contributors that doesn't have that exact version. It's also simpler to
download and install the correct version than to have bespoke version
checking.
Revert the change to do_cmdline_cmd() from #5226.
This function is used in many places, so making it different from Vim
leads to small differences from Vim in the behavior of some functions
like execute() and assert_fails(). If DOCMD_VERBOSE really needs to be
removed somewhere, a do_cmdline() call without DOCMD_VERBOSE is also
shorter than a do_cmdline() call with DOCMD_VERBOSE.
This is a more robust method for tagging a packed table as it completely
eliminates the possibility of mistaking an actual table key as the
packed table tag.
Problem:
`vim.split('a:::', ':', {trimempty=true})` trims inner empty items.
Regression from 9c49c10470
Solution:
Set `empty_start=false` when first non-empty item is found.
close#23212
This was originally meant as a convenience but prevents possible
functionality. For example:
-- Get the keys of the table with even values
local t = { a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4 }
vim.iter(t):map(function(k, v)
if v % 2 == 0 then return k end
end):totable()
The example above would not work, because the map() function returns
only a single value, and cannot be converted back into a table (there
are many such examples like this).
Instead, to convert an iterator into a map-like table, users can use
fold():
vim.iter(t):fold({}, function(t, k, v)
t[k] = v
return t
end)
If pack() is called with a single value, it does not create a table; it
simply returns the value it is passed. When unpack is called with a
table argument, it interprets that table as a list of values that were
packed together into a table.
This causes a problem when the single value being packed is _itself_ a
table. pack() will not place it into another table, but unpack() sees
the table argument and tries to unpack it.
To fix this, we add a simple "tag" to packed table values so that
unpack() only attempts to unpack tables that have this tag. Other tables
are left alone. The tag is simply the length of the table.
vim.iter wraps a table or iterator function into an `Iter` object with
methods such as `filter`, `map`, and `fold` which can be chained to
produce iterator pipelines that do not create new tables at each step.
- vim.diagnostic.config() now accepts a function for the virtual_text.prefix
option, which allows for rendering e.g., diagnostic severities differently.
Problem: Vim9: exception in ISN_INSTR caught at wrong level.

feat(lua)!: add stricter vim.tbl_islist(), rename vim.tbl_isarray()
Problem: `vim.tbl_islist` allows gaps in tables with integer keys
("arrays").
Solution: Rename `vim.tbl_islist` to `vim.tbl_isarray`, add new
`vim.tbl.islist` that checks for consecutive integer keys that start
from 1.
* feat(lua): vim.tbl_contains supports general tables and predicates
Problem: `vim.tbl_contains` only works for list-like tables (integer
keys without gaps) and primitive values (in particular, not for nested
tables).
Solution: Rename `vim.tbl_contains` to `vim.list_contains` and add new
`vim.tbl_contains` that works for general tables and optionally allows
`value` to be a predicate function that is checked for every key.
The first argument which is non-nil is returned. This is useful when
using nested default values (e.g. in the EditorConfig plugin).
Before:
local enable = vim.F.if_nil(vim.b.editorconfig, vim.F.if_nil(vim.g.editorconfig, true))
After:
local enable = vim.F.if_nil(vim.b.editorconfig, vim.g.editorconfig, true)
Problem:
Codebase inconsistently binds vim.api onto a or api.
Solution:
Use api everywhere. a as an identifier is too short to have at the
module level.
Problem:
semver specifies that digit sequences in a prerelease string should be
compared as numbers, not lexically: https://semver.org/#spec-item-11
> Precedence for two pre-release versions with the same major, minor,
> and patch version MUST be determined by comparing each dot separated
> identifier from left to right until a difference is found as follows:
> 1. Identifiers consisting of only digits are compared numerically.
> 2. Identifiers with letters or hyphens are compared lexically in ASCII sort order.
> 3. Numeric identifiers always have lower precedence than non-numeric identifiers.
> 4. A larger set of pre-release fields has a higher precedence than a smaller set, if all of the preceding identifiers are equal.
Example:
1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1 < 1.0.0-alpha.beta < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-beta.2 < 1.0.0-beta.11 < 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0.
Solution:
cmp_prerel() treats all digit sequences in a prerelease string as
numbers. This doesn't _exactly_ match the spec, which specifies that
only dot-delimited digit sequences should be treated as numbers...
Problem:
- vim.split has more features than vim.gsplit.
- Cannot inspect the "separator" segments of vim.split or vim.gsplit.
Solution:
- Move common implementation from vim.split into vim.gsplit.
- TODO: deprecate vim.split in favor of vim.totable(vim.gsplit())?
- Introduce `keepsep` parameter.

existing behavior of
:=
and
:[range]=
are unchanged. `|` is still allowed with this usage.
However,
:=p
and similar are changed in a way which could be construed as a breaking
change. Allowing |ex-flags| for := in the first place was a mistake as
any form of := DOES NOT MOVE THE CURSOR. So it would print one line number
and then print a completely different line contents after that.
Problem:
"tmux 3.2a" (output from "tmux -V") is not parsed easily.
Solution:
With `strict=false`, discard everything before the first digit.
- rename Semver => Version
- rename vim.version.version() => vim.version._version()
- rename matches() => has()
- remove `opts` from cmp()
Problem:
vim.deprecate() shows ":help deprecated" for third-party plugins. ":help
deprecated" only describes deprecations in Nvim, and is unrelated to any
3rd party deprecations.
Solution:
If `plugin` is specified, don't show ":help deprecated".
fix#22235
Problem:
The function name `vim.pretty_print`:
1. is verbose, which partially defeats its purpose as sugar
2. does not draw from existing precedent or any sort of convention
(except external projects like penlight or python?), which reduces
discoverability, and degrades signaling about best practices.
Solution:
- Rename to `vim.print`.
- Change the behavior so that
1. strings are printed without quotes
2. each arg is printed on its own line
3. tables are indented with 2 instead of 4 spaces
- Example:
:lua ='a', 'b', 42, {a=3}
a
b
42
{
a = 3
}
Comparison of alternatives:
- `vim.print`:
- pro: consistent with Lua's `print()`
- pro: aligns with potential `nvim_print` API function which will
replace nvim_echo, nvim_notify, etc.
- con: behaves differently than Lua's `print()`, slightly misleading?
- `vim.echo`:
- pro: `:echo` has similar "pretty print" behavior.
- con: inconsistent with Lua idioms.
- `vim.p`:
- pro: very short, fits with `vim.o`, etc.
- con: not as discoverable as "echo"
- con: less opportunity for `local p = vim.p` because of potential shadowing.
When a buffer update callback is called, textlock is active so buffer
text cannot be changed, but cursor can still be moved. This can cause
problems when the buffer update is in the middle of an operator, like
the one mentioned in #16729. The solution is to save cursor position and
restore it afterwards, like how cursor is saved and restored when
evaluating an <expr> mapping.
also make implicit submodules "uri" and "_inspector" work with completion
this is needed for `:lua=vim.uri_<tab>` wildmenu completion
to work even before uri or _inspector functions are used.
Problem:
If major<major but minor>minor, cmp_version_core returns 1
Solution:
- Fix logic in cmp_version_core
- Delete most eq()/gt()/lt() tests, they are redundant.
- version.cmp(): assert valid version
- add test for loading vim.version (the other tests use shared.lua in
the test runner)
- reduce test scopes, reword test descriptions
Searching the entire repo for a directory named "contrib" causes failure
if there happens to be another subdirectory with the name "contrib".
Instead, point directly to the correct contrib directory.
Problem:
No easy way to find files under certain directories (ex: grab all files under
`test/`) or exclude the content of certain paths (ex. `build/`, `.git/`)
Solution:
Pass the full `path` as an arg to the predicate.
Problem:
The sleep before collecting the initial screen state is confusing and
may lead to unexpected success if it comes after a blocking RPC call.
Solution:
Remove that sleep and add an "intermediate" argument.
Problem:
- API validation involves too much boilerplate.
- API validation errors are not consistently worded.
Solution:
Introduce some macros. Currently these are clumsy, but they at least
help with consistency and avoid some nesting.
If nothing matched in match_from_hashbang, also check the file extension table.
For a hashbang like '#!/bin/env foo', this will set the filetype to 'fooscript'
assuming the filetype for the 'foo' extension is 'fooscript' in the extension
table.
