fix(checkhealth): mitigate issues with duplicate healthchecks #15919
* fix(runtime/health): mitigate issues with duplicate healthchecks
  Previously if a healthcheck was found as Lua and Vim it was executed
  both times.
  This new implementations prefers Lua, therefore if two are found It only
  runs the Lua one, this way a plugin can mantain both implementations the
  Lua one with the method `check()` and the autoload function `#check()`
  (for none HEAD nvim versions).
  **Note: This will require plugins to use `check()` as the function name,
  since the autoload function that wraps the lua implementation won't be
  called**
* docs(health): use spaces and don't overuse backtics

*pi_health.txt* Healthcheck framework

==============================================================================
Introduction *health*
health.vim is a minimal framework to help with troubleshooting user
configuration. Nvim ships with healthchecks for configuration, performance,
python support, ruby support, clipboard support, and more.
To run the healthchecks, use this command: >
:checkhealth
<
Plugin authors are encouraged to write new healthchecks. |health-dev|
==============================================================================
Commands *health-commands*
*:checkhealth* *:CheckHealth*
:checkhealth Run all healthchecks.
*E5009*
Nvim depends on |$VIMRUNTIME|, 'runtimepath' and 'packpath' to
find the standard "runtime files" for syntax highlighting,
filetype-specific behavior, and standard plugins (including
:checkhealth). If the runtime files cannot be found then
those features will not work.
:checkhealth {plugins}
Run healthcheck(s) for one or more plugins. E.g. to run only
the standard Nvim healthcheck: >
:checkhealth nvim
<
To run the healthchecks for the "foo" and "bar" plugins
(assuming these plugins are on 'runtimepath' or 'packpath' and
they have implemented the Lua or Vimscript interface
require("foo.health").check() and health#bar#check(),
respectively): >
:checkhealth foo bar
<
To run healthchecks for lua submodules, use dot notation or
"*" to refer to all submodules. For example nvim provides
`vim.lsp` and `vim.treesitter` >
:checkhealth vim.lsp vim.treesitter
:checkhealth vim*
<
==============================================================================
Lua Functions *health-functions-lua* *health-lua*
The Lua "health" module can be used to create new healthchecks (see also
|health-functions-vim|). To get started, simply use: >
local health = require('health')
<
health.report_start({name}) *health.report_start()*
Starts a new report. Most plugins should call this only once, but if
you want different sections to appear in your report, call this once
per section.
health.report_info({msg}) *health.report_info()*
Reports an informational message.
health.report_ok({msg}) *health.report_ok()*
Reports a "success" message.
health.report_warn({msg} [, {advice}]) *health.report_warn()*
Reports a warning. {advice} is an optional List of suggestions.
health.report_error({msg} [, {advice}]) *health.report_error()*
Reports an error. {advice} is an optional List of suggestions.
==============================================================================
Create a Lua healthcheck *health-dev-lua*
Healthchecks are functions that check the user environment, configuration,
etc. Nvim has built-in healthchecks in $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/health/.
To add a new healthcheck for your own plugin, simply define a Lua module in
your plugin that returns a table with a "check()" function. |:checkhealth|
will automatically find and invoke this function.
If your plugin is named "foo", then its healthcheck module should be a file in
one of these locations on 'runtimepath' or 'packpath':
- lua/foo/health/init.lua
- lua/foo/health.lua
If your plugin provides a submodule named "bar" for which you want a separate
healthcheck, define the healthcheck at one of these locations on 'runtimepath'
or 'packpath':
- lua/foo/bar/health/init.lua
- lua/foo/bar/health.lua
All submodules should return a Lua table containing the method `check()`.
Copy this sample code into `lua/foo/health/init.lua` or `lua/foo/health.lua`,
replacing "foo" in the path with your plugin name: >
local M = {}
local health = require("health")
M.check = function()
health.report_start("my_plugin report")
-- make sure setup function parameters are ok
if check_setup() then
health.report_ok("Setup function is correct")
else
health.report_error("Setup function is incorrect")
end
-- do some more checking
-- ...
end
return M
==============================================================================
Vimscript Functions *health-functions-vimscript* *health-vimscript*
health.vim functions are for creating new healthchecks. (See also
|health-functions-lua|)
health#report_start({name}) *health#report_start*
Starts a new report. Most plugins should call this only once, but if
you want different sections to appear in your report, call this once
per section.
health#report_info({msg}) *health#report_info*
Reports an informational message.
health#report_ok({msg}) *health#report_ok*
Reports a "success" message.
health#report_warn({msg} [, {advice}]) *health#report_warn*
Reports a warning. {advice} is an optional List of suggestions.
health#report_error({msg} [, {advice}]) *health#report_error*
Reports an error. {advice} is an optional List of suggestions.
health#{plugin}#check() *health.user_checker*
Healthcheck function for {plugin}. Called by |:checkhealth|
automatically. Example: >
function! health#my_plug#check() abort
silent call s:check_environment_vars()
silent call s:check_python_configuration()
endfunction
<
==============================================================================
Create a healthcheck *health-dev-vim*
Healthchecks are functions that check the user environment, configuration,
etc. Nvim has built-in healthchecks in $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/health/.
To add a new healthcheck for your own plugin, simply define a
health#{plugin}#check() function in autoload/health/{plugin}.vim.
|:checkhealth| automatically finds and invokes such functions.
If your plugin is named "foo", then its healthcheck function must be >
health#foo#check()
defined in this file on 'runtimepath' or 'packpath':
- autoload/health/foo.vim
Copy this sample code into autoload/health/foo.vim and replace "foo" with your
plugin name: >
function! health#foo#check() abort
call health#report_start('sanity checks')
" perform arbitrary checks
" ...
if looks_good
call health#report_ok('found required dependencies')
else
call health#report_error('cannot find foo',
\ ['npm install --save foo'])
endif
endfunction
