Problem:
`vim.lsp.util.rename()` deletes the buffers that are affected by
renaming. This has undesireable side effects. For example, when renaming
a directory, all buffers under that directory are deleted and windows
displaying those buffers are closed. Also, buffer options may change
after renaming.
Solution:
Rename the buffers with :saveas.
An alternative approach is to record all the relevant states and restore
it after renaming, but that seems to be more complex. In fact, the older
version was attempting to restore the states but only partially and
incorrectly.
Context:
Nvim catches errors from the user's `on_exit` and rpc handler callbacks
and prints the error message.
Problem:
Printing the error message uses Nvim api functions. But callbacks
mentioned above run in `:h lua-loop-callbacks` where most of `vim.api`
is not allowed, so Nvim itself raises error.
Solution:
`vim.schedule()` the error reporting when necessary.
- Added `@inlinedoc` so single use Lua types can be inlined into the
functions docs. E.g.
```lua
--- @class myopts
--- @inlinedoc
---
--- Documentation for some field
--- @field somefield integer
--- @param opts myOpts
function foo(opts)
end
```
Will be rendered as
```
foo(opts)
Parameters:
- {opts} (table) Object with the fields:
- somefield (integer) Documentation
for some field
```
- Marked many classes with with `@nodoc` or `(private)`.
We can eventually introduce these when we want to.
Problem:
vim._watch.watchdirs has terrible performance.
Solution:
- On linux use fswatch as a watcher backend if available.
- Add File watcher section to health:vim.lsp. Warn if watchfunc is
libuv-poll.
Previously rename would unconditionally read the to-be-renamed file from the
disk and write it to the disk. This is redundant in some cases
If the file is not already loaded, it's not attached to lsp client, so nvim
doesn't need to care about this file.
If the file is loaded but has no change, it doesn't need to be written.
Problem:
The documentation flow (`gen_vimdoc.py`) has several issues:
- it's not very versatile
- depends on doxygen
- doesn't work well with Lua code as it requires an awkward filter script to convert it into pseudo-C.
- The intermediate XML files and filters makes it too much like a rube goldberg machine.
Solution:
Re-implement the flow using Lua, LPEG and treesitter.
- `gen_vimdoc.py` is now replaced with `gen_vimdoc.lua` and replicates a portion of the logic.
- `lua2dox.lua` is gone!
- No more XML files.
- Doxygen is now longer used and instead we now use:
- LPEG for comment parsing (see `scripts/luacats_grammar.lua` and `scripts/cdoc_grammar.lua`).
- LPEG for C parsing (see `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua`)
- Lua patterns for Lua parsing (see `scripts/luacats_parser.lua`).
- Treesitter for Markdown parsing (see `scripts/text_utils.lua`).
- The generated `runtime/doc/*.mpack` files have been removed.
- `scripts/gen_eval_files.lua` now instead uses `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua` directly.
- Text wrapping is implemented in `scripts/text_utils.lua` and appears to produce more consistent results (the main contributer to the diff of this change).
Assert that the buffer number passed to apply_text_edits is fully
resolved (not 0 or null). Pass the known buffer number to
apply_text_edits from lsp.formatexpr().
Previously the LSP-Client object contained some fields that are also
in the client config, but for a lot of other fields, the config was used
directly making the two objects vaguely entangled with either not having
a clear role.
Now the config object is treated purely as config (read-only) from the
client, and any fields the client needs from the config are now copied
in as additional fields.
This means:
- the config object is no longet normalised and is left as the user
provided it.
- the client only reads the config on creation of the client and all
other implementations now read the clients version of the fields.
In addition, internal support for multiple callbacks has been added to
the client so the client tracking logic (done in lua.lsp) can be done
more robustly instead of wrapping the user callbacks which may error.
The dispatchers used by the RPC client should be defined in the client,
so they have been moved there. Due to this, it also made sense to move
all code related to client configuration and the creation of the RPC
client there too.
Now vim.lsp.start_client is significantly simplified and now mostly
contains logic for tracking open clients.
- Renamed client.new -> client.start
Problem:
If a rename results in a path that has missing parent directory(s), it
will fail.
Solution:
Do a recursive mkdir before attempting the rename.
Problem:
`vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_diagnostic` accepts an undocumented severity_limit
option which is widely used.
Solution:
Deprecate it in favour of `{min = severity}` used in `vim.diagnostic`.
Since this is undocumented, the schedule for removal is accelerated to
0.11.
Problem:
The LSP client code is implemented as a complicated closure-class
(class defined in a single function).
Solution:
Move LSP client code to a more conventional Lua class and move to a
separate file.
Problem: vim.lsp.tagfunc() causes an infinite loop.
This is a bug happened while introducing deferred loading.
Solution: Rename the private module to `vim.lsp._tagfunc`.
The benefit of this is that users only pay for what they use. If e.g.
only `vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()` is called then they don't need to load
all modules under `vim.lsp` which could lead to significant startuptime
saving.
Also `vim.lsp.module` is a bit nicer to user compared to
`require("vim.lsp.module")`.
This isn't used for some nested modules such as `filetype` as it breaks
tests with error messages such as "attempt to index field 'detect'".
It's not entirely certain the reason for this, but it is likely it is
due to filetype being precompiled which would imply deferred loading
isn't needed for performance reasons.
This function is used only in the `workspace/configuration` handler,
and does not warrant a public API because of its confusing return types.
The only caller `vim.lsp.handlers["workspace.configuration"]` is also
refactored to use `vim.tbl_get()` instead.
Typings introduced in #26032 and #26552 have a few conflicts, so we
merge and clean them up. We also fix some incorrect type annotation in
the `vim.lsp.rpc` package. See the associated PR for more details.
Summary:
- vim.rpc.Dispatchers -> vim.lsp.rpc.Dispatchers
- vim.lsp.rpc.Error -> lsp.ResponseError
- Revise docs
Problem:
Currently `deepcopy` hashes every single tables it copies so it can be
reused. For tables of mostly unique items that are non recursive, this
hashing is unnecessarily expensive
Solution:
Port the `noref` argument from Vimscripts `deepcopy()`.
The below benchmark demonstrates the results for two extreme cases of
tables of different sizes. One table that uses the same table lots of
times and one with all unique tables.
| test | `noref=false` (ms) | `noref=true` (ms) |
| -------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
| unique tables (50) | 6.59 | 2.62 |
| shared tables (50) | 3.24 | 6.40 |
| unique tables (2000) | 23381.48 | 2884.53 |
| shared tables (2000) | 3505.54 | 14038.80 |
The results are basically the inverse of each other where `noref` is
much more performance on tables with unique fields, and `not noref` is
more performant on tables that reuse fields.
