==============================================================================
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| and 'runtimepath' 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 your 'runtimepath' and
they have implemented health#foo#check() and
health#bar#check(), respectively): >
:checkhealth foo bar
<
==============================================================================
Functions *health-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*
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
<
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-dev*
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': >
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
