- sort fields alphabetically.
- in the `vim.lsp.Client` docs, reference `vim.lsp.ClientConfig` instead
of duplicating its docs.
- cleanup lots of redundant-yet-drifted field docs.
This automatically downloads and uses the correct luals binary for the
currently used system. `make luals` will run luals on all lua files in
`runtime`.
We download lua-language-server manually instead of relying on
contributors downloading it on their own (like with stylua) as
lua-language-server is updated frequently which may cause unnecessary
friction. Therefore, we download a pinned version of luals which we then
can manually bump when needed. This can be re-evaluated if luals becomes
more stable in the future.
Currently this is not run when using `make lint` since cmake style "file
caching" doesn't seem possible at the moment. This is because checking a
single file doesn't seem to work.

Problem:
`vim.tbl_get(tbl, nil, 1)` returns `tbl` itself. In this case, `keys` is not
empty, but `ipairs` skips the iteration:
local keys = { nil, 1 }
assert(#keys == 2)
for i, k in ipairs(keys) do
assert(false, 'unreachable')
end
Solution:
Use `select("#", ...)` and `select(i, ...)` to ensure consistency for count and
iteration.
Design goals/requirements:
- Default configuration of a server can be distributed across multiple sources.
- And via RTP discovery.
- Default configuration can be specified for all servers.
- Configuration _can_ be project specific.
Solution:
- Two new API's:
- `vim.lsp.config(name, cfg)`:
- Used to define default configurations for servers of name.
- Can be used like a table or called as a function.
- Use `vim.lsp.confg('*', cfg)` to specify default config for all
servers.
- `vim.lsp.enable(name)`
- Used to enable servers of name. Uses configuration defined
via `vim.lsp.config()`.

Problem:
`vim.validate()` takes two forms when it only needs one.
Solution:
- Teach the fast form all the features of the spec form.
- Deprecate the spec form.
- General optimizations for both forms.
- Add a `message` argument which can be used alongside or in place
of the `optional` argument.
Problem: vim.tbl_deep_extend had an undocumented feature where arrays
(integer-indexed tables) were not merged but compared literally (used
for merging default and user config, where one list should overwrite the
other completely). Turns out this behavior was relied on in quite a
number of plugins (even though it wasn't a robust solution even for that
use case, since lists of tables (e.g., plugin specs) can be array-like
as well).
Solution: Revert the removal of this special feature. Check for
list-like (contiguous integer indices) instead, as this is closer to the
intent. Document this behavior.
- The exclusion of lists was never justified in the commit history and is
the wrong thing to do for a function that deals with tables.
- Move the error checks out of the recursive path.
Fixes#23654
Problem: with a single `context.options` there is no way for user to
force which scope (local, global, both) is being temporarily set and
later restored.
Solution: replace single `options` context with `bo`, `go`, `wo`, and
`o`. Naming and implementation follows how options can be set directly
with `vim.*` (like `vim.bo`, etc.).
Options are set for possible target `win` or `buf` context.
Problem: `vim._with()` has many different use cases which are not
covered with tests.
Solution: cover with tests. Some (many) test cases are intentionally
marked as "pending" because they cover cases which don't work as
expected at the moment (and fixing them requires specific knowledge of
C codebase). Use them as a reference for future fixes.
Also some of "can be nested" tests currently might pass only because
the tested context doesn't work.
It's a function to perform operations in their own sealed context,
similar to pythons `with`. This helps ease operations where you need to
perform an operation in a specific context, and then restore the
context.
Marked as private for now as it's not ready for public use. The current
plan is to start using this internally so we can discover and fix any
problems. Once this is ready to be exposed it will be renamed to
`vim.with`.
Usage:
```lua
local ret = vim._with({context = val}, function()
return "hello"
end)
```
, where `context` is any combination of:
- `buf`
- `emsg_silent`
- `hide`
- `horizontal`
- `keepalt`
- `keepjumps`
- `keepmarks`
- `keeppatterns`
- `lockmarks`
- `noautocmd`
- `options`
- `sandbox`
- `silent`
- `unsilent`
- `win`
(except for `win` and `buf` which can't be used at the same time). This
list will most likely be expanded in the future.

Problem: There is no easy way to configure the behavior of the default
diagnostic "jump" mappings. For example, some users way want to show the
floating window, and some may not (likewise, some way want to only move
between warnings/errors, or disable the "wrap" parameter).
Solution: Add a "jump" table to vim.diagnostic.config() that sets
default values for vim.diagnostic.jump().
Alternatives: Users can override the default mappings to use the exact
options to vim.diagnostic.jump() that they want, but this has a couple
issues:
- While the default mappings are not complicated, they are also not
trivial, so overriding them requires users to understand
implementation details (specifically things like setting "count"
properly).
- If plugins want to change the default mappings, or configure the
behavior in any way (e.g. floating window display), it becomes even
harder for users to tweak specific behavior.
vim.diagnostic.config() already works quite well as the "entry point"
for tuning knobs with diagnostic UI elements, so this fits in nicely and
composes well with existing mental models and idioms.
For many small/simple functions (like those found in shared.lua), the
runtime of vim.validate can far exceed the runtime of the function
itself. Add an "overload" to vim.validate that uses a simple assertion
pattern, rather than parsing a full "validation spec".
Problem:
Besides being redundant with vim.iter():flatten(), `tbl_flatten` has
these problems:
- Has `tbl_` prefix but only accepts lists.
- Discards some results! Compare the following:
- iter.flatten():
```
vim.iter({1, { { a = 2 } }, { 3 } }):flatten():totable()
```
- tbl_flatten:
```
vim.tbl_flatten({1, { { a = 2 } }, { 3 } })
```
Solution:
Deprecate tbl_flatten.
Note:
iter:flatten() currently fails ("flatten() requires a list-like table")
on this code from gen_lsp.lua:
local anonym = vim.iter({ -- remove nil
anonymous_num > 1 and '' or nil,
'---@class ' .. anonymous_classname,
}):flatten():totable()
Should we enhance :flatten() to work for arrays?
Problem:
The order of the validation performed by vim.validate() is
unpredictable.
- harder to write reliable tests.
- confusing UX because validation result might return different errors randomly.
Solution:
Iterate the input using `vim.spairs()`.
Future:
Ideally, the caller could provide an "ordered dict".
- 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:
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).
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.
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.
