zeertzjq 0039a13fe4 vim-patch:9.2.0395: tests: Test_backupskip() may read from $HOME (#39417)
Problem:  tests: Test_backupskip() may read from $HOME
Solution: Set $HOME to an empty value, use --clean
          (D Ben Knoble)

Even though we unset HOME, we can see via scriptnames that user files
are still sourced! One of my installed plugins warns when not compiled
with +python3, so this test has a "press Enter" prompt.

Use `--clean` like most other GetVimProg()'s do to fix it. Some tests
use `system()` instead, but that turns this test into a failure rather
than passing; I'm not sure why other tests don't suffer from this.

To prove to ourselves, we can use code like this:

    diff --git i/src/testdir/test_options.vim w/src/testdir/test_options.vim
    index a408e20e1..044364a54 100644

Here, that causes "foo" to include a bunch of files under ~/.vim. I'm
not sure why this happens, but lets paper over it for the test.

We can also tell that (orthogonal to --clean) setting HOME='' works too.
Let's do that in addition since unsetting HOME isn't quite enough.

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.

Features

See :help nvim-features for the full list, and :help news for noteworthy changes in the latest version!

Install from package

Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.

Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!

Install from source

See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.

The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install

To install to a non-default location:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install

CMake hints for inspecting the build:

  • cmake --build build --target help lists all build targets.
  • build/CMakeCache.txt (or cmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.
  • build/compile_commands.json shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.

Transitioning from Vim

See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
