Problem:
helpers.tmpname() may create a local file, depending on circumstances.
Solution:
Only use helpers.tmpname() for its parent directory (the "temp root").
Use fs_mkdtemp() to actually get a unique name.
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.
Problem:
Using "nvim -l args.lua" without passing extra script args, does not set `_G.arg[0]`.
Steps to reproduce:
```
cat > args.lua<<EOF
vim.print(_G.arg, '')
vim.print(vim.v.argv, '')
EOF
nvim --clean -l args.lua
```
Solution:
Fix condition in command_line_scan.
Using :CheckHealth invokes an error, and many of the features from :checkhealth
doesn't even work such as calling only a specific check. Users should use
:checkhealth instead.
The builtin cat was removed in 4bc9229ecb
as it is not used during runtime but only for tests. However, it is a
very small and useful utility program that we need for a lot of our
tests, so there's no harm in bundling it, and it helps us avoid
complicating our build system by having two versions of neovim (neovim
for users and neovim for testing).
Also skip tests if "grep" or "sleep" isn't available.
Problem:
If vim_tempdir mysteriously goes missing (typically by "antivirus" on
Windows), any plugins using tempname() will be broken for the rest of
the session. #1432#9833https://groups.google.com/g/vim_use/c/ef55jNm5czI
Steps:
mkdir foo
TMPDIR=./foo nvim
:echo tempname()
!rm -r foo
:echo tempname()
tempname() still uses the foo path even though it was deleted.
Solution:
- Don't assume that vim_tempdir exists.
- If it goes missing once, retry vim_mktempdir and log (silently) an error.
- If it goes missing again, retry vim_mktempdir and show an error.
Rejected in Vim for performance reasons:

But, logging shows that `vim_gettempdir` is not called frequently.

Previously, if the autocommands are not triggered, the tests may still
pass because no assertion is done. Add an assertion so that the tests
will fail if the autocommands aren't triggered.
Since before_each() doesn't call clear() in these tests, after_each()
may call expect_exit() without calling clear() if a test is skipped,
causing frequent test failures on Cirrus CI. Close the session instead.
Problem:
When "-l" is followed by "--", we stop sending args to the Lua script
and treat "--" in the usual way. This was for flexibility but didn't
have a strong use-case, and has these problems:
- prevents Lua "-l" scripts from handling "--" in their own way.
- complicates the startup logic (must call nlua_init before command_line_scan)
Solution:
Don't treat "--" specially if it follows "-l".
Problem:
Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua
scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output.
Solution:
- support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes#15749
- exit without +q
- remove lua2dox_filter
- remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config
is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable).
- use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job
Examples:
$ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help
Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128)
...
$ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2
$ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l -
TODO?
-e executes Lua code
-l loads a module
-i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.
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())`.
Fix backups failing for symlink files

Remove testing hacks in scripts for windows
Skip FreeBSD

Circus, see 2d6735d8ce
The old behaviour (e.g. via `set display-=msgsep`) will not be available.
Assuming that messages always are being drawn on msg_grid
(or not drawn at all, and forwarded to `ext_messages` enabled UI)
will allows some simplifcations and enhancements moving forward.
Problem:
Cannot opt-out of "WARNING: The file has been changed since reading
it!!!", even with ":write!".
Solution:
Change ":write!" to skip the warning.
