v:lua expressions are represented using vvlua_partial. As v:lua isn't
intended to be called directly, it's given an empty pt_name.
Because of this, calling v:lua directly like "v:lua()" will cause "E117:
Unknown function: ", with an empty name.
Instead, have call_func() show the name "v:lua" in the emsg.
- The previous commit lost information in the tests. Instead, add some
more "normalization" substitutions in pcall_err(), so that the general
shape of the stacktrace is included in the asserted text.
- Eliminate contains(), it is redundant with matches()
Can be reproduced with a script like this:
-- in some lua file
vim.fn.timer_start(10, function() error("uh....") end)
-- will cause neovim to crash with the following error.
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API
(nlua_CFunction_func_call failed.)
After this, it will instead print the error message
from the top of the stack, like so.
tmp/error_nvim.lua:10: uh...
Also added an example test. Previously this test
caused the embedded nvim to panic.
vim-patch:8.2.1054: not so easy to pass a lua function to Vim
vim-patch:8.2.1084: Lua: registering function has useless code
I think I have also opened up the possibility for people to use these
callbacks elsewhere, since I've added a new struct that we should be
able to use.
Also, this should allow us to determine what the state of a list is in
Lua or a dictionary in Lua, since we now can track the luaref as we go.
- Return VimL errors instead of generic errors for:
- nvim_call_function
- nvim_call_dict_function
- Fix tests which were silently broken before this change.
This violates #6150 where we agreed not to translate API errors. But
that can be fixed later.
