The old implementation of repeated_read_cmd would attempt to run the
command multiple times to handle racyness of async output. Code
like this should not be written. Instead, use the libuv event
loop to read until the process has exited and the pipe has been closed.
This causes some previous discarded errors to be propagated. Fix these
as well.
Problem:
assert_log() only matches single lines. This was never an intentional
decision, it was merely a result of using read_file_list().
Note: any tests that indiscriminately match `.*` should be rewritten to
avoid (unlikely) "false positives". I checked all existing tests.
Solution:
Change assert_log() to match the concatenated lines instead of matching
per-line.
NEW BUILD SYSTEM!
This is a MVP implementation which supports building the "nvim" binary,
including cross-compilation for some targets.
As an example, you can build a aarch64-macos binary from
an x86-64-linux-gnu host, or vice versa
Add CI target for build.zig currently for functionaltests on linux
x86_64 only
Follow up items:
- praxis for version and dependency bumping
- windows 💀
- full integration of libintl and gettext (or a desicion not to)
- update help and API metadata files
- installation into a $PREFIX
- more tests and linters
Problem:
Indenting text is a common task in plugins/scripts for
presentation/formatting, yet vim has no way of doing it (especially
"dedent", and especially non-buffer text).
Solution:
Introduce `vim.text.indent()`. It sets the *exact* indentation because
that's a more difficult (and thus more useful) task than merely
"increasing the current indent" (which is somewhat easy with a `gsub()`
one-liner).
Problem:
When tmpdir is local. The returned values from tmpname may already
exist. This can cause problems for tests which pass `create=false` as
they may require the file to not exist yet.
Solution:
When creating tmp names, always remove it to ensure it doesn't exist,
and optionally open it if `create~=false`
Additionally refactor the tmpname code and flattrn some functions into
constants.
Also while debugging this issue. It was discovered that `exec_lua()`
doesn't report error messages properly. This has been fixed.
Problem:
`vim.fs.dirname([[C:\User\XXX\AppData\Local]])` returns "." on
mingw/msys2.
Solution:
- Check for "mingw" when deciding `iswin`.
- Use `has("win32")` where possible, it works in "fast" contexts since
b02eeb6a72.
- `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.
Problem:
If $NVIM_APPNAME is a relative dir path, Nvim fails to start its
primary/default server, and `v:servername` is empty.
Root cause is d34c64e342, but this wasn't
noticed until 96128a5076 started reporting the error more loudly.
Solution:
- `server_address_new`: replace slashes "/" in the appname before using
it as a servername.
- `vim_mktempdir`: always prefer the system-wide top-level "nvim.user/"
directory. That isn't intended to be specific to NVIM_APPNAME; rather,
each *subdirectory* ("nvim.user/xxx") is owned by each Nvim instance.
Nvim "apps" can be identified by the server socket(s) stored in those
per-Nvim subdirs.

Problem:
Since 96128a5076 the test logs have noise from tests that *expect*
failures:

Solution:
Rewrite the test to use `vim.system()`. Set NVIM_LOG_FILE in the child
process to a "throwaway" logfile.
Problem:
137f98cf64 added the `create` parameter to `tmpname()` but didn't
fully implement it.
Solution:
- Update impl for the `os.tmpname()` codepath.
- Inspect all usages of `tmpname()`, update various tests.
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`.
