Problem:
- `n.spawn()` is misleading because it also connects RPC, it's not just
"spawning" a process.
- It's confusing that `n.spawn()` and `n.spawn_argv()` are separate.
Solution:
- Replace `n.spawn()`/`n.spawn_argv()` with a single function `n.new_session()`.
This name aligns with the existing functions `n.set_session`/`n.get_session`.
- Note: removes direct handling of `prepend_argv`, but I doubt that was
important or intentional. If callers want to control use of `prepend_argv`
then we should add a new flag to `test.session.Opts`.
- Move `keep` to first parameter of `n.new_session()`.
- Add a `merge` flag to `test.session.Opts`
- Mark `_new_argv()` as private. Test should use clear/new_session/spawn_wait
instead.
Problem: Prompts are emitted as messages events, where cmdline events
are more appropriate. The user input is also emitted as
message events in fast context, so cannot be displayed with
vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Prompt for user input through cmdline prompts.
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`.
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.
- `alter_slashes` belongs in `testutil.lua`, not `testnvim.lua`.
- `alter_slashes` is an unusual name. Rename it to `fix_slashes`.
- invert its behavior, to emphasize that `/` slashes are the preferred,
pervasive convention, not `\` slashes.
Problem: ex: trailing dot is optional for :g and :insert/:append
Solution: don't break out early, when the next command is empty.

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: memleak with ex_drop(), NULL dereference

Solution: revert back to ex_rewind(), use curbuf instead of buf

Problem: :drop tries to :rewind the argumentlist, which results in E37
(after v9.1.0046)
Solution: instead of calling ex_rewind(), call open_buffer() only when
re-using the initial empty buffer

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
Problem:
The swapfile "E325: ATTENTION" dialog is displayed when editing a file
already open in another (running) Nvim. Usually this behavior is
annoying and irrelevant:
- "Recover" and the other options ("Open readonly", "Quit", "Abort") are
almost never wanted.
- swapfiles are less relevant for "multi-Nvim" since 'autoread' is
enabled by default.
- Even less relevant if user enables 'autowrite'.
Solution:
Define a default SwapExists handler which does the following:
1. If the swapfile is owned by a running Nvim process, automatically
chooses "(E)dit anyway" (caveat: this creates a new, extra swapfile,
which is mostly harmless and ignored except by `:recover` or `nvim -r`.
2. Shows a 1-line "ignoring swapfile..." message.
3. Users can disable the default SwapExists handler via `autocmd! nvim_swapfile`.
`nvim_(get|set)_option_value` pick the current buffer / window by default for buffer-local/window-local (but not global-local) options. So specifying `buf = 0` or `win = 0` in opts is unnecessary for those options. This PR removes those to reduce code clutter.
Problem: Making a mapping work in all modes is complicated.
Solution: Add the <Cmd> special key. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#7282,
closes 4784, based on patch by Bjorn Linse)

Revert the change to do_cmdline_cmd() from #5226.
This function is used in many places, so making it different from Vim
leads to small differences from Vim in the behavior of some functions
like execute() and assert_fails(). If DOCMD_VERBOSE really needs to be
removed somewhere, a do_cmdline() call without DOCMD_VERBOSE is also
shorter than a do_cmdline() call with DOCMD_VERBOSE.
