Problem:
Running `echo dummy | nvim file1 file2` closes the file1 buffer if
file1 doesn't exist.
Solution:
Logic changed in 43e8ec9 such that stdin buffer may now be created *after*
file args. Handle that case.
Problem:
It's relatively easy to mispress key `a` to (a)llow arbitrary execution
of 'exrc' files. #35050
Solution:
- For exrc files (not directories), remove "allow" menu item.
Require the user to "view" and then explicitly `:trust` the file.
Problem: If user init creates a floating window, startup windows
(e.g. to accomodate arglist files) are no longer created.
Solution: Check that firstwin->w_next is not floating when deciding
whether to make startup windows.
Problem: Non-visible/focusable windows are assigned a window number,
whereas commands that use this window number skip over them.
Solution: Skip over non-visible/focusable windows when computing
the window number, unless it is made the current window
through the API in which case an identifiable window number
is still useful. This also ensures it matches the window
number of the window entered by `<winnr>wincmd w` since
403fcacf.
Problem:
No way for a user to limit 'exrc' search in parent directories (compare
editorconfig.root).
Solution:
A configuration file can unset 'exrc', disabling the search for its
parent directories.
feat(exrc): search exrc in parent directories
Problem:
`.nvim.lua` is only loaded from current directory, which is not flexible
when working from a subfolder of the project.
Solution:
Also search parent directories for configuration file.
Problem:
`nvim -es` (and `nvim -Es`) is the recommended way to non-interactively
run commands/vimscript. But it enables shada by default, which is
usually not wanted.
Solution:
- Disable shada by default for `nvim -es/-Es`. This can be overridden by
`-i foo` if needed.
- Do NOT change the 'loadplugins' default.
- User config + packages _should_ be enabled by default, for both `nvim
-es` and `nvim -l`. Else any Lua packages you have can't be accessed
without `-u path/to/config`, which is clumsy.
- Use-cases:
```
nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
would become: nvim -es "+Lazy! sync"
nvim --headless +PlugInstall +qall
would become: nvim -es +PlugInstall
```
- Opt-out (`--clean` or `-u NONE`) is much easier than opt-in (`-u
path/to/config`).
- User config/packages are analogous to pip packages, which are
expected when doing `python -c ...`.

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:
Can't use `n.clear()` to test non-RPC `nvim` invocations. So tests end
up creating ad-hoc wrappers around `system()` or `jobstart()`.
Solution:
- Introduce `n.spawn_wait()`
- TODO (followup PR): Rename `n.spawn()` and `n.spawn_wait()`.
It's misleading that `n.spawn()` returns a RPC session...
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.
Problem: Separate message emitted for each newline present in Lua
print() arguments.
Solution: Make msg_multiline() handle NUL bytes. Refactor print() to use
msg_multiline(). Refactor vim.print() to use print().
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.
Problem: Crash when initializing for --startuptime errors.
Solution: Report the error to stderr, as neither logging nor messages
have been initialized yet.
- `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.
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.
Also close Nvim instance before removing log file, otherwise the Nvim
instance will still write to the log file.
Also adjust log level in libuv_process_spawn(). Ref #27660
Ref #21393
- Move default user commands to _defaults.lua as that now contains all
kinds of defaults rather than just default mappings and menus.
- Remove the :aunmenu as there are no menus when _defaults.lua is run.
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:
Since 2448816956, the --startuptime report shows
two blocks of data. The TUI process and its embedded nvim process write to the
file concurrently, which may interleave the two startup sequences into the same
timeline.
Solution:
Report each process as a separate section in the same file.
1. Each process buffers the full report.
2. After startup is finished, the buffer is flushed (appended) to the file.
Fix#23036

The motivation for this update is Issue #15365, where background=light
is not properly set for Nvim running from an Nvim :terminal. This can be
encountered when e.g., opening a terminal to make git commits, which
opens EDITOR=nvim in the nested terminal.
Under the implementation of this commit, the OSC response always
indicates a black or white foreground/background. While this may not
reflect the actual foreground/background color, it permits 'background'
to be retained for a nested Nvim instance running in the terminal
emulator. The behaviour matches Vim.
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:
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.
