Problem:
Tests that need to check `nvim` CLI behavior (no RPC session) create
their own ad-hoc `system()` wrappers.
Solution:
- Use `n.spawn_wait` instead of `system()`.
- Bonus: this also improves the tests by explicitly checking for
`stdout` or `stderr`. And if a signal is raised, `ProcStream.status`
will reflect it.
Problem:
`termopen` has long been a superficial wrapper around `jobstart`, and
has no real purpose. Also, `vim.system` and `nvim_open_term` presumably
will replace all features of `jobstart` and `termopen`, so centralizing
the logic will help with that.
Solution:
- Introduce `eval/deprecated.c`, where all deprecated eval funcs will live.
- Introduce "term" flag of `jobstart`.
- Deprecate `termopen`.
When a terminal application running inside the terminal emulator sets
the cursor shape or blink status of the cursor, update the cursor in the
parent terminal to match.
This removes the "virtual cursor" that has been in use by the terminal
emulator since the beginning. The original rationale for using the
virtual cursor was to avoid having to support additional UI methods to
change the cursor color for other (non-TUI) UIs, instead relying on the
TermCursor and TermCursorNC highlight groups.
The TermCursor highlight group is now used in the default 'guicursor'
value, which has a new entry for Terminal mode. However, the
TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported: since terminal
windows now use the real cursor, when the window is not focused there is
no cursor displayed in the window at all, so there is nothing to
highlight. Users can still use the StatusLineTermNC highlight group to
differentiate non-focused terminal windows.
BREAKING CHANGE: The TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported.
In release builds, the Compilation: line is omitted so the build is reproducible. Since the "fall-back for $VIM" line is always present, check for that instead.
Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.
Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.
Followup to #28515:
Rename the static os_homedir() to os_uv_homedir() to emphasize that it
is a wrapper around a libuv function.
Add the function os_get_homedir() to os/env.c to return the cached
homedir value as a const. Must be called after homedir is initialized or
it fails.
The difference between this function and the static os_uv_homedir() is
that the latter gets the homedir from libuv and is used to initialize
homedir in init_homedir(), while os_get_homedir() just returns homedir
as a const if it's initialized and is public.
Use the os_get_homedir() accessor for ~/ expansion on Windows to make
the code more concise.
Add a Windows section to main_spec.lua with tests for expanding ~/ and
~\ prefixes for files passed in on the command-line.

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.
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)
Problem Description: In ex_mode, the default_grid.chars are not allocated, and subsequently,
the w_grid.target in curwin is not allocated to default_grid in update_screen. This leads to
a null pointer crash when the completion function is executed in ex_mode.
Solution: Set full_screen when in ex_mode to ensure that default_grid is allocated.
Problem: Updating default color scheme produced some feedback.
Solution: Address the feedback.
Outline of the changes:
- Colors `Grey1` and `Grey2` are made a little bit more extreme (dark -
darker, light - lighter) to increase overall contrast.
- `gui` colors are treated as base with `cterm` colors falling back to
using 0-15 colors which come from terminal emulator.
- Update highlight group definition to not include attribute definition
if it is intended to staty uncolored.
- Tweak some specific highlight groups.
- Add a list of Neovim specific highlight groups which are now defined
differently in a breaking way.
- Minor tweaks in several other places related to default color scheme.
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
Set 'notermguicolors' in tests which spawn a child Nvim process to force
existing tests to use 16 colors. Also refactor the child process
invocation to make things a little bit less messy.
Problem: Default color scheme is suboptimal.
Solution: Start using new color scheme. Introduce new `vim` color scheme
for opt-in backward compatibility.
------
Main design ideas
- Be "Neovim branded".
- Be minimal for 256 colors with a bit more shades for true colors.
- Be accessible through high enough contrast ratios.
- Be suitable for dark and light backgrounds via exchange of dark and
light palettes.
------
Palettes
- Have dark and light variants. Implemented through exporeted
`NvimDark*` and `NvimLight*` hex colors.
- Palettes have 4 shades of grey for UI elements and 6 colors (red,
yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta).
- Actual values are computed procedurally in Oklch color space based on
a handful of hyperparameters.
- Each color has a 256 colors variant with perceptually closest color.
------
Highlight groups
Use:
- Grey shades for general UI according to their design.
- Bold text for keywords (`Statement` highlight group). This is an
important choice to increase accessibility for people with color
deficiencies, as it doesn't rely on actual color.
- Green for strings, `DiffAdd` (as background), `DiagnosticOk`, and some
minor text UI elements.
- Cyan as main syntax color, i.e. for function usage (`Function`
highlight group), `DiffText`, `DiagnosticInfo`, and some minor text UI
elements.
- Red to generally mean high user attention, i.e. errors; in particular
for `ErrorMsg`, `DiffDelete`, `DiagnosticError`.
- Yellow very sparingly only with true colors to mean mild user
attention, i.e. warnings. That is, `DiagnosticWarn` and `WarningMsg`.
- Blue very sparingly only with true colors as `DiagnosticHint` and some
additional important syntax group (like `Identifier`).
- Magenta very carefully (if at all).
------
Notes
- To make tests work without relatively larege updates, each one is
prepended with an equivalent of the call `:colorscheme vim`.
Plus some tests which spawn new Neovim instances also now use 'vim'
color scheme.
In some cases tests are updated to fit new default color scheme.
Problem:
`nvim -v` and `:version` prints system vimrc, fallback files, and compilation
info by default, which most people don't care about and just clutters up the
output.
Solution:
Omit extra info unless 'verbose' is set.
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")`.
This is essentially a convenience wrapper around the `pending()`
function, similar to `skip_fragile()` but more general-purpose.
Also remove `pending_win32` function as it can be replaced by
`skip(iswin())`.
* Reading from stdin on Windows is fixed in the same way as it was in
#8267.
* The file_read function was returning without filling the
destination buffer when it was called with a non-blocking file
descriptor.
This variant uses `fdopen()` which is not standard, but it fixes problem on my
system. In next commit `scriptin` will use `FileDescriptor*` from os/fileio in
place of `FILE*`.
