* refactor: integer functions, optimize asserts #34112Lewis Russell2026-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | refactor(lua): add integer coercion helpers Add vim._tointeger() and vim._ensure_integer(), including optional base support, and switch integer-only tonumber()/assert call sites in the Lua runtime to use them. This also cleans up related integer parsing in LSP, health, loader, URI, tohtml, and Treesitter code. supported by AI
* refactor(lua): use vim.fs instead of fnamemodifyYochem van Rosmalen2026-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although powerful -- especially with chained modifiers --, the readability (and therefore maintainability) of `fnamemodify()` and its modifiers is often worse than a function name, giving less context and having to rely on `:h filename-modifiers`. However, it is used plenty in the Lua stdlib: - 16x for the basename: `fnamemodify(path, ':t')` - 7x for the parents: `fnamemodify(path, ':h')` - 7x for the stem (filename w/o extension): `fnamemodify(path, ':r')` - 6x for the absolute path: `fnamemodify(path, ':p')` - 2x for the suffix: `fnamemodify(path, ':e')` - 2x relative to the home directory: `fnamemodify(path, ':~')` - 1x relative to the cwd: `fnamemodify(path, ':.')` The `fs` module in the stdlib provides a cleaner interface for most of these path operations: `vim.fs.basename` instead of `':t'`, `vim.fs.dirname` instead of `':h'`, `vim.fs.abspath` instead of `':p'`. This commit refactors the runtime to use these instead of fnamemodify. Not all fnamemodify calls are removed; some have intrinsic differences in behavior with the `vim.fs` replacement or do not yet have a replacement in the Lua module, i.e. `:~`, `:.`, `:e` and `:r`.

* fix(vim.loader): randomized AppImage path pollutes luac cache #35636Shmerl2025-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: When using the Nvim appimage, `~/.cache/nvim/luac` directory can grow to 250,000+ files. Example of 2 identical files in `./luac/`: %2ftmp%2f.mount_nvim.a65Rja0%2fusr%2fshare%2fnvim%2fruntime%2flua%2fvim%2ftreesitter.luac %2ftmp%2f.mount_nvim.aNpxXgo%2fusr%2fshare%2fnvim%2fruntime%2flua%2fvim%2ftreesitter.luac Analysis: The `nvim.appimage` mounts nvim at a different temporary path each time it is invoked. The naming scheme of these cache files is random, which defats the purpose of the cache creates N new files on every launch of nvim. Steps to reproduce: 1. install `nvim.appimage` 2. `mv ~/.cache/nvim/luac ~/.cache/nvim/luac.backup` 3. `nvim` 4. Observe contents of `~/.cache/nvim/luac/` 5. Close nvim and run `nvim` again 6. Observe contents of `~/.cache/nvim/luac/` and see that new identical files have been added with a different mount prefix Solution: When running from an appimage, trim the random part of the filepaths.

* fix(lua): remove vim.loader.disable() #31344Justin M. Keyes2024-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: `vim.loader.disable` does not conform to `:help dev-name-common` and `:help dev-patterns`. Solution: - Add `enable` parameter to `vim.loader.enable` - Remove `vim.loader.disable` - Note the change in `:help news-breaking-dev` (HEAD changes). - This is not a breaking change (except to "HEAD") because `vim.loader` is marked "experimental". previous: 26765e8461c1ba1e9a351632212cf89900221781

* docs: render `@since` versions, 0 means experimental #30649Justin M. Keyes2024-10-04
| | | | | | | | An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be bumped when a new Lua function is added. TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions. ref #25416
* fix(vim.fs): dirname() returns "." on mingw/msys2 #30480Justin M. Keyes2024-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | Problem: `vim.fs.dirname([[C:\User\XXX\AppData\Local]])` returns "." on mingw/msys2. Solution: - Check for "mingw" when deciding `iswin`. - Use `has("win32")` where possible, it works in "fast" contexts since b02eeb6a7281df0561a021d7ae595c84be9a01be.

* perf(loader): use a quicker version of vim.fs.normalizeLewis Russell2024-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: vim.fs.normalize() normalizes too much vim.loader and is slow. Solution: Make it faster by doing less. This reduces the times spent in vim.fs.normalize in vim.loader from ~13ms -> 1-2ms. Numbers from a relative benchmark: - Skipping `vim.validate()`: 285ms -> 230ms - Skipping `path_resolve_dot()`: 285ms -> 60ms - Skipping `double_slash`: 60ms -> 35ms

* docs: improve/add documentation of Lua typesLewis Russell2024-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Added `@inlinedoc` so single use Lua types can be inlined into the functions docs. E.g. ```lua --- @class myopts --- @inlinedoc --- --- Documentation for some field --- @field somefield integer --- @param opts myOpts function foo(opts) end ``` Will be rendered as ``` foo(opts) Parameters: - {opts} (table) Object with the fields: - somefield (integer) Documentation for some field ``` - Marked many classes with with `@nodoc` or `(private)`. We can eventually introduce these when we want to.
* feat(docs): replace lua2dox.luaLewis Russell2024-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: The documentation flow (`gen_vimdoc.py`) has several issues: - it's not very versatile - depends on doxygen - doesn't work well with Lua code as it requires an awkward filter script to convert it into pseudo-C. - The intermediate XML files and filters makes it too much like a rube goldberg machine. Solution: Re-implement the flow using Lua, LPEG and treesitter. - `gen_vimdoc.py` is now replaced with `gen_vimdoc.lua` and replicates a portion of the logic. - `lua2dox.lua` is gone! - No more XML files. - Doxygen is now longer used and instead we now use: - LPEG for comment parsing (see `scripts/luacats_grammar.lua` and `scripts/cdoc_grammar.lua`). - LPEG for C parsing (see `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua`) - Lua patterns for Lua parsing (see `scripts/luacats_parser.lua`). - Treesitter for Markdown parsing (see `scripts/text_utils.lua`). - The generated `runtime/doc/*.mpack` files have been removed. - `scripts/gen_eval_files.lua` now instead uses `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua` directly. - Text wrapping is implemented in `scripts/text_utils.lua` and appears to produce more consistent results (the main contributer to the diff of this change).
* fix(loader): remove cyclic dependency on vim.fs (when --luamod-dev)Jongwook Choi2024-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | Problem: Loading `vim.fs` via the `vim.loader` Lua package loader will result in a stack overflow due to a cyclic dependency. This may happen when the `vim.fs` module isn't byte-compiled, i.e. when `--luamod-dev` is used (#27413). Solution: `vim.loader` depends on `vim.fs`. Therefore `vim.fs` should be loaded in advance.

* fix(lua): improve annotations for stricter luals diagnostics (#24609)Christian Clason2023-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: luals returns stricter diagnostics with bundled luarc.json Solution: Improve some function and type annotations: * use recognized uv.* types * disable diagnostic for global `vim` in shared.lua * docs: don't start comment lines with taglink (otherwise LuaLS will interpret it as a type) * add type alias for lpeg pattern * fix return annotation for `vim.secure.trust` * rename local Range object in vim.version (shadows `Range` in vim.treesitter) * fix some "missing fields" warnings * add missing required fields for test functions in eval.lua * rename lsp meta files for consistency
* fix(loader): cache path ambiguity #24491Tyler Miller2023-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Problem: cache paths are derived by replacing each reserved/filesystem- path-sensitive char with a `%` char in the original path. With this method, two different files at two different paths (each containing `%` chars) can erroneously resolve to the very same cache path in certain edge-cases. Solution: derive cache paths by url-encoding the original (path) instead using `vim.uri_encode()` with `"rfc2396"`. Increment `Loader.VERSION` to denote this change.

* feat(lua): vim.tbl_contains supports general tables and predicates (#23040)Christian Clason2023-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | * feat(lua): vim.tbl_contains supports general tables and predicates Problem: `vim.tbl_contains` only works for list-like tables (integer keys without gaps) and primitive values (in particular, not for nested tables). Solution: Rename `vim.tbl_contains` to `vim.list_contains` and add new `vim.tbl_contains` that works for general tables and optionally allows `value` to be a predicate function that is checked for every key.

* refactor(loader): cache hash informationLewis Russell2023-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | Whenever we run fs_stat() on a path, save this information in the loader so it can be re-used. - Loader.loadfile: Remove arguments `hash` as it is no longer needed. - Loader.loader: Use _G.loadstring instead of Loader.load This allows plugins to wrap loadstring to inspection and profiling - factor out read file logic
