Problem: nvim_win_set_config may merge configs despite failing to configure a
split, and without applying necessary side-effects (like setting style=minimal
options). Plus, autocommands may apply a different config after the merge,
causing side-effects to apply for an outdated config.
Solution: merge configs last, only on success. Include fields only relevant to
splits. Properly set _cmdline_offset for splits.
Maybe better to disallow _cmdline_offset for splits instead, as the pum is
relative to cmdline_row anyway? (I didn't want to change behaviour too much)
Also use expect_unchanged in an unrelated test to quash a warning.
Problem: Expanded cmdline is left open after entering the cmdline again
without entering a command that emits another message (after 301c7065).
Solution: Wait for msg_show to reinstate the vim.on_key() handler.
If there was no message close the expanded cmdline.
Problem: Prompts and message text (in block mode) in the cmdline are
parsed and highlighted as if it is Vimscript.
Entering the cmdline while it is expanded can work more like
it does with UI1, where the press enter prompt is replaced
and previous messages stay on the message grid, while
subsequent messages are placed below it.
Solution: Highlight manually with string parser on lines starting with ':'.
Spoof cmdline block mode when the cmdline is entered while it
is expanded.
Problem: Previous tests for this relied on other events opening the
targets, which are not guaranteed to happen.
Solution: Open target windows when entering a new tabpage.
Problem: nvim_win_get_config() does not return a window's "style".
Solution: always include it, and document `style=""`.
Always included so it can be used reciprocally with nvim_open_win() or
nvim_win_set_config(). (otherwise the config of a window with kWinStyleUnused
will not unset the kWinStyleMinimal style of another window if passed to
nvim_win_set_config, for example)
Problem: 5943a81 skips saving window options in `buflist_altfpos` for
style=minimal windows, which also prevents the window from restoring its own
options when switching buffers.
Solution: revert the change. In `get_winopts`, don't restore options from the
`WinInfo` of style=minimal windows when reusing values for a different window.
In `win_free`, clear `wi_optset` for minimal windows.
Problem: Unable to configure message targets based on message kind.
Solution: Add cfg.msg.targets mapping message kinds to "cmd/msg/pager".
Check the configured target when writing the message.
cfg.msg = { target = 'cmd', targets = { progress = 'msg', list_cmd = 'pager' } }
will for example use the 'msg' target for progress messages,
immediately open the pager for 'list_cmd' and use the cmdline
for all other message kinds.
Problem: closing a minimal float saves its style-imposed options into
buffer's wininfo, which get picked up by normal windows on :bnext.
Solution: don't save window options to wininfo for style=minimal windows.
Problem: Timer removing a message from the msg buffer does not remove
empty lines if window is closed (col([ui.wins.msg]) fails).
Solution: Use nvim_buf_get_text() to check if line is empty.
Problem: - Unintentionally inserting lines for a replaced multiline
message that also has multiple highlights.
- Scheduled check to see if the expanded cmdline window was
entered makes it difficult to keep track of what happens when
the key pressed to dismiss it results in a message.
- Reading the first line of an error message should be enough
notice for something going wrong.
- "search_cmd" messages should not be shown with 0 'cmdheight'.
- Unable to configure dynamically changed pager height.
- Enabling UI2 doesn't make sense with no UIs attached.
Solution: - Only insert a line for the first chunk after a newline.
- Use getmousepos() to check if the expanded cmdline was
clicked to enter the pager.
entering the pager to serve as a configuration interface.
- Don't expand the cmdline for error messages; user can press g<.
- Don't show "search_cmd" messages with 'cmdheight' set to 0.
- Change 'eventignorewin' to ensure WinEnter is fired when
- Have enable() return early when no UIs are attached.
Problem: Newlines emitted with ext_messages intended to position
the message/prompt on the message grid.
Solution: Don't emit these newlines with ext_messages, followup to 4260f73e.
Problem: after #33036, an error from evaluating 'statusline' clears it and
doesn't draw the statusline. (causing glitchy redraws)
Solution: use the default value instead. If 'stl' is somehow ever empty, still
call redraw_custom_statusline to at least draw an empty statusline.
Ideally our default 'stl' shouldn't itself error too! :-)
Also adjust some prior screen:expect()s to avoid immediate success warnings.
This is a better way to prevent parallel tests from interfering with
each other, as there are many ways files can be created and deleted in
tests, so enforcing different file names is hard.
Using $TMPDIR can also work in most cases, but 'backipskip' etc. have
special defaults for $TMPDIR.
Symlink runtime/, src/, test/ and README.md to Xtest_xdg dir to make
tests more convenient (and symlinking test/ is required for busted).
Also, use README.md instead of test/README.md in the Ex mode inccommand
test, as test/README.md no longer contains 'N' char.
Problem: UIs put ins-completion "scanning" messages one after another,
which are meant to overwrite the previous message.
Solution: Ensure the msg_show "replace_last" parameter is set.
Define a CMake target for every subdirectory of test/functional that
contains functional tests, and a functionaltest_parallel target that
depends on all those targets, allowing multiple test runners to run in
parallel.
On CI, use at most 2 parallel test runners, as using more may increase
system load and make tests unstable.
Problem: Implicitly setting message target when 'cmdheight' changes.
Solution: Just use the user configured target. Support "cmd" target
with 'cmdheight' set to 0.
Problem:
When MsgArea highlight is changed, the next message may flash
and disappear because msg_start() renders with stale highlight attributes.
msg_puts_len() uses HL_ATTR(HLF_MSG) to render message text, which
happens before update_screen() calls highlight_changed().
So the message is rendered with outdated attrs.
Solution:
Call highlight_changed() in msg_start().
Problem: Paging keys being consumed without obvious indicator
in the dialog window can be surprising.
Solution: Display a hint with paging keys in the dialog window title
when paging is active. Recognize <Esc> as mapping to stop
paging.
Problem: vim.on_key() called for each message while cmdline is open.
Cursor is on a seemingly random column when pager is entered.
Entering the pager while the cmdline is expanded can be more
convenient than pressing "g<".
Pager window is unnecessarily clamped to half the shell height.
Setting 'laststatus' while pager is open does not adjust its
dimensions.
Solution: Only call vim.on_key() once when dialog window is opened.
Ensure cursor is at the start of the first message when
entering the pager.
Enter the pager window when "<CR>" is pressed while the
cmdline is expanded.
Don't clamp the pager window height.
Set message windows dimensions when 'laststatus' changes.
Problem: Logic determining messages belonging to the last command to
show with "g<" does not flush pending messages. This can
result in clearing the temporary message history before a
message still belonging to the previous command was emitted.
Solution: Flush pending messages when marking the end of messages
belonging to previous command.
Problem: A float whose zindex is below the cmdline can be enlarged and
end up behind the cmdline.
Solution: Clamp height of such windows to not extend beyond 'cmdheight'.
**Problem:** No easy way to stack highlight groups #35806.
**Solution:** Add a way to specify a new statusline chunk with a
highlight group that inherits from previous highlight attributes.
Also applies to tabline, etc.
Problem:
When a window is redrawn, `draw_vsep_win`/`draw_hsep_win` paint plain
separator characters (`│`/`─`) along the window's entire edges,
including cells that are connector corners belonging to other windows.
Then `draw_sep_connectors_win` only fixes the corners of that same
window, not connectors in the middle of its edges that belong to
adjacent windows.
If the window that "owns" the connector corner isn't part of the redraw,
the connector is never repainted.
Solution:
Move connector drawing out of the per-window `win_update` and into a
separate pass in `update_screen` that runs after all windows have been
updated.
Problem: Newlines intended to write messages below the cmdline or to
mark the start of a new message on message grid are emitted
through ext_messages. This results in unnecessary newlines for
a UI that has decoupled its message area from the cmdline.
msg_col is set directly in some places which is not transmitted
to msg_show events.
Various missing message kind for list commands.
Trailing newlines on various list commands.
Solution: Only emit such newlines without ext_messages enabled.
Use msg_advance() instead of setting msg_col directly.
Assign them the "list_cmd" kind.
Ensure no trailing newline is printed.
Problem: Exmode is missing cmdline_block events.
Solution: Emit cmdline_block_show/append when executing a cmdline during
exmode. Emit cmdline_block_hide when leaving exmode.
Problem: "first" parameter added in 912388f5 for grouping printed lines
in a single event is ineffective for the :global command.
Solution: Only set the message kind for the first printed line during a
:global command.
Problem: UI2 does not implement the msg_show event msg_id parameter.
Solution: Store message IDs currently shown in the cmd/msg buffers.
Set extmarks spanning the message which are used to replace
a still visible message when a new message with the same ID
is received.
Problem:
There is no indication of when cursor is "behind" an unfocused, floating window.
Solution:
Set underline cursor to indicate when an unfocused floatwin is over the active cursor.
Problem: The wildmenu is hidden behind the dialog window with "list" in 'wildmode'.
Global ('laststatus' set to 3) statusline is hidden behind the
pager window.
Solution: Check wildmenumode() to adjust the dialog position when necessary.
Ensure pager is positioned above the global statusline with 'laststus' set to 3.
Problem: Internal messages do not have an ID, which is unexpected and
undocumented.
Solution: Always assign a msg_id to msg_show events, simplifying
logic/expectations for UIs.
Problem: No empty msg_ruler event after leaving a window whose ruler
is not part of the statusline with 'rulerformat'.
Solution: Properly keep track of when a ruler event was emitted with
'rulerformat' to emit clear event.
Problem: Scheduled callbacks reference potentially outdated window
handles e.g. after switching tabpage.
Solution: Use ext.wins which stores the updated window handles.
Problem:
On Windows, writing to a pipe doesn't work if the pipe isn't connected
yet. This causes an RPC request to a session newly created by connect()
to hang, as it's waiting for a response to a request that never reaches
the server.
Solution:
Wait for uv.pipe_connect() callback to be called when using connect().
Problem: 'cursorline' and part of 'statusline' are missing after
:diffput to an empty buffer.
Solution: Make sure the cursor doesn't go beyond the last line after
:diffput (zeertzjq)
related: neovim/neovim#37621
closes: vim/vim#19281ce1e562fda
Problem:
The :intro fails to display in ui2 because wait_return(true) triggers a full
redraw. Furthermore statuslines are visible when using :intro
Solution:
Replace wait_return() with plain_vgetc(). This works with old and ui2 while also removing the unnecessary statusline and "press ENTER" prompt.
Updates tests to work with new behaviour.
