Problem: New version suggestions in update confirmation buffer might
include semver tags that were committed later but for versions that
are not greater than current. Like if versions committed in order
`v0.2.0` - `v0.3.0` - `v0.2.1` - `v0.3.1`, then when on `v0.3.0` both
`v0.2.1` and `v0.3.1` are suggested, but only the latter is newer as
a version. This is because those tags are computed with post-processed
`git tag --list --contains HEAD`.
Solution: Compute all semver tags and filter only those greater than the
latest version available at HEAD.
Problem: Both `PackChangedPre` and `PackChanged` contain |event-data|
with plugin's `spec`. It looks like a good idea to have all its
triggers contain the same format across all kinds ("install",
"update", "delete"). There are several choices:
- Have it be as verbatim as supplied to `vim.pack.add()`, i.e. can
be either string or table. A bit too ambiguous.
- Have it be table with `src` and `name` inferred. This requires
less work for "install", but more work for "update" and "delete"
(since they use `vim.pack.get()` which already infers default
`version`).
- Have it be table with *all* defaults made explicit. This looks
like the best approach, but requires extra care to only infer
default `version` when needed (i.e. avoid inferring during regular
load) because it is costly in terms of startup time.
This might also introduce inconsistency when dealing with
lockfile(s) as information there should be as close to what user
supplied as possible. Address that when dealing with lockfile.
Solution: Ensure explicit `version` in all events where possible.
Problem: Currently `update()` and `del()` silently ignore input plugin
names that are not for already installed plugin. This might lead to
confusion because they are not explicitly reported.
Solution: Check that all input names are for installed plugins and error
otherwise.
Problem: using `print()` to show progress report writes to `stdout` when
in `--headless` mode (interferes with the testing output) and doesn't
allow coloring.
Solution: use `nvim_echo` with colored chunks.
Problem: Sourcing of 'after/plugin' scripts depends on the value of
'loadplugins' option. It is redundant, as it has effect only during
startup, while it is combined with `vim.v.vim_did_enter == 1` (i.e.
"it is after starting up") condition.
Solution: Ignore it.
Problem: `attempt to yield across metamethod/C-call boundary` error when
trying to use `vim.pack.add()`.
Solution: use `pcall()` variant from 'coxpcall' on non-LuaJIT version of
Lua.
Problem: On canceling the update (triggering `WinClosed`), the tab page
will most probably be closed too. Closing some other tab page while the
confirmation buffer is open also changes tab page numbers. We are trying
to close the wrong tab page in both cases.
Solution: save the tab page ID, and attempt to get the tab page number
from the ID when closing the buffer.
Problem:
Error when adding a plugin will make all following plugins not
`:packadd`ed
Solution:
- add() should handle errors from :packadd with pcall()
