fix(vim.fs): find{follow=true} skips symlink targets of the given `type` #42246

2026-10-05T16:53:44+00:00

Problem:
`vim.fs.find()` checks `type` against the symlink itself, so
`{ type='file', follow=true }` skips symlinked files (e.g. `:helptags`).

Solution:
With `follow=true`, a symlink has the type of its target. Thus
`type='link'` only matches broken symlinks (like `find -L -type l`).

feat(vim.fs): slug() supports URI #41241

2026-08-16T17:29:34+00:00

Problem:
`vim.fs.slug()` does not handle URIs like `term://foo//123:bash`,
so callers (e.g. terminal persistence) must strip the scheme before
calling `slug()`.

Solution:
Detect `scheme://` from the raw input before `normalize()` and
replace it with a `=uri--` prefix.

feat(fs): vim.fs.normalize{plain:boolean} #41127

2026-08-05T20:11:13+00:00

`opts.plain=true` does not expand tildes in addition to environment
variables, unlike `opts.expand_env=false`.

`opts.expand_env=false` is soft-deprecated.

feat(lua): vim.fs.slug() #41005

2026-08-04T19:24:35+00:00

Problem:
Several subsystems need to derive a short, filesystem-safe identifier from an
arbitrary path, and each reinvents it ad-hoc:
- `'undodir'` and `swapfiles` encode the full path into a single filename, which
  may exceed filesystem length-limits.
- `:connect ssh://` needs the SSH ControlPath socket name to stay under the
  104-byte `sun_path` limit on macOS; today the path overflows it.
- the upcoming :terminal state dir.
- arbitrary plugin purposes.

Solution:
Provide `vim.fs.slug()`, which generates a bounded, one-way filename from an
arbitrary string. The input is normalized so equivalent paths produce the
same result. An 8-char hash is appended for uniqueness

test(fs): "fs.find() follows symlinks" #41105

2026-08-02T09:09:58+00:00

Problem:
Test fails if other "build*/" dirs exist with a "nvim" file, e.g.
`build-asan/bin/nvim`.

Solution:
Do the test in an isolated dir.
This also fixes the test for the zig build.

feat(vim.fs): abspath({cwd, plain}) #40597

2026-08-01T13:09:21+00:00

Adds optional parameters to `vim.fs.abspath`:
1. `cwd` to specify directory akin to `--relative-from` in `realpath(1)`.
2. `plain` disables expansion of tilde (~) in paths.
