feat(server): set $NVIM, unset $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS #11009
PROBLEM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS has conflicting purposes as both a parameter ("the current process should listen on this address") and a descriptor ("the current process is a child of this address"). This contradiction means the presence of NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS is ambiguous, so child Nvim always tries to listen on its _parent's_ socket. This is the cause of lots of "Failed to start server" spam in our test/CI logs: WARN 2022-04-30… server_start:154: Failed to start server: address already in use: \\.\pipe\nvim-4480-0 WARN 2022-04-30… server_start:154: Failed to start server: address already in use: \\.\pipe\nvim-2168-0 SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Set $NVIM to the parent v:servername, *only* in child processes. - Now the correct way to detect a "parent" Nvim is to check for $NVIM. 2. Do NOT set $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS in child processes. 3. On startup if $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS exists, unset it immediately after server init. 4. Open a channel to parent automatically, expose it as v:parent.
