* feat: ignore swapfile for running Nvim processes #25336Justin M. Keyes2023-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: The swapfile "E325: ATTENTION" dialog is displayed when editing a file already open in another (running) Nvim. Usually this behavior is annoying and irrelevant: - "Recover" and the other options ("Open readonly", "Quit", "Abort") are almost never wanted. - swapfiles are less relevant for "multi-Nvim" since 'autoread' is enabled by default. - Even less relevant if user enables 'autowrite'. Solution: Define a default SwapExists handler which does the following: 1. If the swapfile is owned by a running Nvim process, automatically chooses "(E)dit anyway" (caveat: this creates a new, extra swapfile, which is mostly harmless and ignored except by `:recover` or `nvim -r`. 2. Shows a 1-line "ignoring swapfile..." message. 3. Users can disable the default SwapExists handler via `autocmd! nvim_swapfile`.

* vim-patch:9.0.1972: win32: missing '**' expansion test (#25476)zeertzjq2023-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: win32: missing '**' expansion test (after v9.0.1947) Solution: Add test for MS-Windows win32: Add "**" test Vim supports "**" on MS-Windows. However, it is not tested by `Test_glob_extended_bash`. Unlike Unix, it doesn't use 'shell' and doesn't support {,} expansion. So, I added as a separate test. related: vim/vim#13205 closes: vim/vim#13250 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/4a1ad5556423dca5f5b7ee39f143579e67569ae1 Co-authored-by: Ken Takata <kentkt@csc.jp>
* vim-patch:9.0.1962: No support for writing extended attributeszeertzjq2023-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: No support for writing extended attributes Solution: Add extended attribute support for linux It's been a long standing issue, that if you write a file with extended attributes and backupcopy is set to no, the file will loose the extended attributes. So this patch adds support for retrieving the extended attributes and copying it to the new file. It currently only works on linux, mainly because I don't know the different APIs for other systems (BSD, MacOSX and Solaris). On linux, this should be supported since Kernel 2.4 or something, so this should be pretty safe to use now. Enable the extended attribute support with normal builds. I also added it explicitly to the :version output as well as make it able to check using `:echo has("xattr")`, to have users easily check that this is available. In contrast to the similar support for SELINUX and SMACK support (which also internally uses extended attributes), I have made this a FEAT_XATTR define, instead of the similar HAVE_XATTR. Add a test and change CI to include relevant packages so that CI can test that extended attributes are correctly written. closes: vim/vim#306 closes: vim/vim#13203 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/e085dfda5d8dde064b0332464040959479696d1c Co-authored-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>
* vim-patch:9.0.1946: filename expansion using ** in bash may failzeertzjq2023-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: filename expansion using ** in bash may fail Solution: Try to enable the globstar setting Starting with bash 4.0 it supports extended globbing using the globstar shell option. This makes matching recursively below a certain directory using the ** pattern work as expected nowadays. However, we need to explicitly enable this using the 'shopt -s globstar' bash command. So let's check the bash environment variable $BASH_VERSINFO (which is supported since bash 3.0 and conditionally enable the globstar option, if the major version is at least 4. For older bashs, this at least shouldn't cause errors (unless one is using really ancient bash 2.X or something). closes: vim/vim#13002 closes: vim/vim#13144 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/9eb1ce531527a7177d16373b0f8689bbcd3d5f73 Co-authored-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>

* feat: ":write ++p" creates parent dirs #20835Victor Blanchard2022-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | - `:write ++p foo/bar/baz.txt` should create parent directories `foo/bar/` if they do not exist - Note: `:foo ++…` is usually for options. No existing options have a single-char abbreviation (presumably by design), so it's safe to special-case `++p` here. - Same for `writefile(…, 'foo/bar/baz.txt', 'p')` - `BufWriteCmd` can see the ++p flag via `v:cmdarg`. closes #19884
