fix(health): replace healthFoo with DiagnosticFoo (#23475)
This replaces the custom `health{Error,Warning,Success}` highlight
groups with `Diagnostic{Error,Warning,Ok}`, which are defined by
default. Removes the link for `healthHelp`, which was no longer
actually used after #20879.

==============================================================================
Introduction *health*
health.vim is a minimal framework to help users troubleshoot configuration and
any other environment conditions that a plugin might care about. Nvim ships
with healthchecks for configuration, performance, python support, ruby
support, clipboard support, and more.
To run all healthchecks, use: >vim
:checkhealth
<
Plugin authors are encouraged to write new healthchecks. |health-dev|
==============================================================================
Commands *health-commands*
*:che* *:checkhealth*
:che[ckhealth] 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.
:che[ckhealth] {plugins}
Run healthcheck(s) for one or more plugins. E.g. to run only
the standard Nvim healthcheck: >vim
:checkhealth nvim
<
To run the healthchecks for the "foo" and "bar" plugins
(assuming they are on 'runtimepath' and they have implemented
the Lua `require("foo.health").check()` interface): >vim
: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`: >vim
:checkhealth vim.lsp vim.treesitter
:checkhealth vim*
<
==============================================================================
Functions *health-functions* *vim.health*
The Lua "health" module can be used to create new healthchecks. To get started
see |health-dev|.
vim.health.start({name}) *vim.health.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.
vim.health.info({msg}) *vim.health.info()*
Reports an informational message.
vim.health.ok({msg}) *vim.health.ok()*
Reports a "success" message.
vim.health.warn({msg} [, {advice}]) *vim.health.warn()*
Reports a warning. {advice} is an optional list of suggestions to
present to the user.
vim.health.error({msg} [, {advice}]) *vim.health.error()*
Reports an error. {advice} is an optional list of suggestions to
present to the user.
==============================================================================
Create a healthcheck *health-dev*
Healthchecks are functions that check the user environment, configuration, or
any other prerequisites that a plugin cares about. Nvim ships with
healthchecks in:
- $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/health/
- $VIMRUNTIME/lua/vim/lsp/health.lua
- $VIMRUNTIME/lua/vim/treesitter/health.lua
- and more...
To add a new healthcheck for your own plugin, simply create a "health.lua"
module on 'runtimepath' that returns a table with a "check()" function. Then
|:checkhealth| will automatically find and invoke the function.
For example if your plugin is named "foo", define your healthcheck module at
one of these locations (on 'runtimepath'):
- lua/foo/health/init.lua
- lua/foo/health.lua
If your plugin also provides a submodule named "bar" for which you want
a separate healthcheck, define the healthcheck at one of these locations:
- lua/foo/bar/health/init.lua
- lua/foo/bar/health.lua
All such health modules must return a Lua table containing a `check()`
function.
Copy this sample code into `lua/foo/health.lua`, replacing "foo" in the path
with your plugin name: >lua
local M = {}
M.check = function()
vim.health.start("foo report")
-- make sure setup function parameters are ok
if check_setup() then
vim.health.ok("Setup is correct")
else
vim.health.error("Setup is incorrect")
end
-- do some more checking
-- ...
end
return M
