Introduction *healthcheck* *health.vim-intro*
Troubleshooting user configuration problems is a time-consuming task that
developers want to minimize. health.vim provides a simple framework for plugin
authors to hook into, and for users to invoke, to check and report the user's
configuration and environment. Type this command to try it: >
:CheckHealth
<
For example, some users have broken or unusual Python setups, which breaks the
|:python| command. |:CheckHealth| detects several common Python configuration
problems and reports them. If the Neovim Python module is not installed, it
shows a warning: >
You have not installed the Neovim Python module
You might want to try `pip install Neovim`
<
Plugin authors are encouraged to add healthchecks, see |health.vim-dev|.
==============================================================================
Commands and functions *health.vim-manual*
Commands
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*:CheckHealth*
:CheckHealth Run all healthchecks and show the output in a new
tabpage. These healthchecks are included by default:
- python2
- python3
- ruby
- remote plugin
:CheckHealth {plugins}
Run healthchecks 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 your 'runtimepath' and
they have implemented health#foo#check() and
health#bar#check(), respectively): >
:CheckHealth foo bar
<
Functions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
health.vim functions are for creating new healthchecks. They mostly just do
some layout and formatting, to give users a consistent presentation.
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*
Displays an informational message.
health#report_ok({msg}) *health#report_ok*
Displays a "success" message.
health#report_warn({msg}, [{suggestions}]) *health#report_warn*
Displays a warning. {suggestions} is an optional List of suggestions.
health#report_error({msg}, [{suggestions}]) *health#report_error*
Displays an error. {suggestions} is an optional List of suggestions.
health#{plugin}#check() *health.user_checker*
This is the form of a healthcheck definition. Call the above functions
from this function, then |:CheckHealth| does the rest. Example: >
function! health#my_plug#check() abort
silent call s:check_environment_vars()
silent call s:check_python_configuration()
endfunction
<
The function will be found and called automatically when the user
invokes |:CheckHealth|.
All output will be captured from the healthcheck. Use the
health#report_* functions so that your healthcheck has a format
consistent with the standard healthchecks.
==============================================================================
Create a healthcheck *health.vim-dev*
Healthchecks are functions that check the health of the system. Neovim has
built-in checkers, found in $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/health/.
To add a new checker 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 "jslint", then its healthcheck function must be >
health#jslint#check()
defined in this file on 'runtimepath': >
autoload/health/jslint.vim
Here's a sample to get started: >
function! health#jslint#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 jslint',
\ ['npm install --save jslint'])
endif
endfunction
