feat(inspector): support ranges in vim.inspect_pos

2026-10-16T10:35:15+00:00

Problem: Highlight inspection is limited to a single position, and its
result types do not document the fields shared by different highlight
sources.

Solution: Accept end_row/end_col in vim.inspect_pos to inspect a range.
Keep range ends exclusive and retain the existing single-position
behavior.

Support Ex line ranges in :Inspect, including Visual selections.
Document named result types, expose shared highlight fields, and keep
the existing extmark details and buffer field for compatibility.

test(harness): migrate away from magic globals

2026-07-21T11:22:39+00:00

Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.

- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
  merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
  "know" about the various magic symbols.

So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.

Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
  `t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.

fix(lua): ensure inspect_pos() only shows visible highlight extmarks

2025-03-18T08:39:19+00:00

Problem:  Unpaired marks are shown with `filter.extmarks == true`, which
          should only return visible highlights. Misleading `end_col`
          included in `inspect_pos()` for unpaired mark; it is set to
          `start_col + 1` which would be a visible highlight, which it is
          not. Custom "is_here" filter used to get extmarks overlapping a
          position.

Solution: Exclude unpaired highlight extmarks with `filter.extmarks == true`.
          Set `end_col` to `start_col` for an unpaired mark. Supply
          appropriate arguments to nvim_buf_get_extmarks() to return
          overlapping extmarks; exclude marks whose end is at `{row, col}`
          with `filter.extmarks == true`.

feat(defaults): jump between :terminal shell prompts with ]]/[[ #32736

2025-03-07T13:45:34+00:00

test: support upvalues in exec_lua

2024-09-21T15:04:09+00:00

test: improve test conventions

2024-04-23T16:17:04+00:00

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`.
