Problem: Unsetting global variables earlier in #28578 to avoid
recursiveness, caused superfluous or even unlimited
showmode().
Solution: Partly revert #28578 so that the globals are unset at the end
of showmode(), and avoid recursiveness for ext UI by adding a
recursive function guard to each generated UI call that may
call a Lua callback.
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`.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/27004.
Problem: Current behavior of stateful intro message is too persistent.
For example, it is still drawn if new empty buffer is shown in current
window (either by explicitly setting it or after `tabnew`). Although
the buffer is empty, the act of it being shown should be made visible.
Solution: Make intro message persist if all is true:
- Current buffer is the same as it was just after start, i.e. empty
nameless with initial handle (i.e. 1).
- Current window is the same as it was just after start, i.e. single
non-floating with initial handle.
This is the first installment of a multi-PR series significantly
refactoring how highlights are being specified.
The end goal is to have a base set of 20 ish most common highlights,
and then specific files only need to add more groups to that as needed.
As a complicating factor, we also want to migrate to the new default
color scheme eventually. But by sharing a base set, that future PR
will hopefully be a lot smaller since a lot of tests will be migrated
just simply by updating the base set in place.
As a first step, fix the anti-pattern than Screen defaults to ignoring
highlights. Highlights are integral part of the screen state, not
something "extra" which we only test "sometimes". For now, we still
allow opt-out via the intentionally ugly
screen._default_attr_ids = nil
The end goal is to get rid of all of these eventually (which will be
easier as part of the color scheme migration)
As this message is literally drawn on top of the EOB area of the first
window, the simple solution is to just draw the message on top of the
grid of the first window.
We still want #24764 (msg_intro event) but now only for ext_messages.
Instead of randomly disappearing because some random event might have
caused mid_start or bot_scroll_start to randomly take a low value, treat
intro message as a _first class stateful_ thing.
This means that intro message will kept being _redrawn_ as long as we
are in the state it should be shown. This also includes screen resizes.
you will not lose the intro message because there was a delay in
detecting terminal features.
Problem: Arbitrary restriction on 'cmdheight' with ext_messages.
The 'cmdheight'-area may be desirable for the replacing
cmdline.
Solution: Allow non-zero 'cmdheight' with ext_messages.
This is the command invoked repeatedly to make the changes:
:%s/^\(.*\)|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$\n\1|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$/\=submatch(1)..'|*'..(max([str2nr(submatch(2)),1])+max([str2nr(submatch(3)),1]))/g
Problem:
The next command after `silent !{cmd}` or `silent lua print('str')`
prints an empty line before printing a message, because these commands
set `msg_didout = true` despite not printing any messages.
Solution:
Set `msg_didout = true` only if `msg_silent == 0`
PROBLEM:
Currently `:echoerr` prints multi-line strings in a single line
as `:echom` does (Note: `:echon` can print multi-line strings well).
This makes stacktrace printed via echoerr difficult to read.
Example code:
try
lua error("lua stacktrace")
catch
echoerr v:exception
endtry
Output:
Error detected while processing a.vim[5]..a.vim:
line 4:
Vim(lua):E5108: Error executing lua [string ":lua"]:1: lua stacktrace^@stack traceback:^@^I[C]: in function 'error'^@^I[string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk
SOLUTION:
Allow echoerr to print multiline messages (e.g., lua exceptions),
because this command is usually used to print stacktraces.
Output after the fix:
Error detected while processing a.vim[5]..a.vim:
line 4:
Vim(lua):E5108: Error executing lua [string ":lua"]:1: lua stacktrace
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
[string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk
This finalizes the long running refactor from the old TUI-focused grid
implementation where text-drawing cursor was not separated from the
visible cursor.
Still, the pattern of setting cursor position together with updating a
line was convenient. Introduce grid_line_cursor_goto() to still allow
this but now being explicit about it.
Only having batched drawing functions makes code involving drawing
a bit longer. But it is better to be explicit, and this highlights
cases where multiple small redraws can be grouped together. This was the
case for most of the changed places (messages, lastline, and :intro)
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.
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")`.
When 'cmdheight' is changed while messages have scrolled, the position
of msg_grid is not moved up, so cmdline_row should not be set based on
the position of msg_grid.
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.
