ci: drop cirrus #39321

2026-04-22T22:25:07Z

Problem: cirrus will shutdown soon, and we are running out of minutes anyway, which causes ci failures. Solution: Drop cirrus config.

fix(lua): extra CR (\r) in `nvim -l` output #38048

2026-03-10T23:01:45Z

Problem: `nvim -l` prints an extra `\r` to stdout: :=vim.system({'cmd', '/c', "echo print(1) | nvim -l -"}, {}):wait() { code = 0, signal = 0, stderr = "1\r\r\n", stdout = "" } Solution: Check `headless_mode` in `msg_use_crlf`. Co-authored-by: Justin M. Keyes

fix(man.lua): :Man ignores section of gzipped manpage #38235

2026-03-10T21:26:40Z

Problem: Under certain circumstances (e.g. gzipped manpages with mandoc), :Man will not find the correct page because it does not process multiple extensions correctly. For example, with a file named strcpy.3p.gz, it will only check the .gz part to try to check the section. This leads to some pages being inaccessible because it will return the page from the wrong section. Solution: Loop and try multiple extensions to try to find one which matches the name of the section. Also refactor the man.get_path function so that it can be tested.

feat(messages): cleanup Lua error messages

2025-05-04T15:22:57Z

"Error" in error messages is redundant. Just provide the context, don't say "Error ...".

fix(man.lua): E95 when piping to :Man #33068

2025-04-15T13:27:51Z

Problem: When piping raw manpage content into `:Man!`, buf name is set to 'man://.. ref', but the check only matches the prefix. Allows duplicate buffers to be created, triggering E95. Solution: Match full buf name instead of only 'man://' prefix. If the buffer already exists, generate a unique name with 'man://' .. 'ref' .. '?new=' format. Refs: #30132

test: do not dedent() in feed() (#32884)

2025-03-14T09:12:35Z

Most callers of feed() do not expect feed() to dedent. Now use a literal space in tests where it looks better.

refactor(man.lua): various changes

2024-12-18T14:40:36Z

- Replace all uses of vim.regex with simpler Lua patterns. - Replace all uses of vim.fn.substitute with string.gsub. - Rework error handling so expected errors are passed back via a return. - These get routed up an passed to `vim.notify()` - Any other errors will cause a stack trace. - Reworked the module initialization of `localfile_arg` - Updated all type annotations. - Refactored CLI completion by introduction a parse_cmdline() function. - Simplified `show_toc()` - Refactor highlighting - Inline some functions - Fix completion on MacOS 13 and earlier. - Prefer `manpath -q` over `man -w` - Make completion more efficient by avoiding vim.fn.sort and vim.fn.uniq - Reimplement using a single loop

fix(Man): completion on Mac

2024-12-16T16:05:08Z

Problem: `man -w` does not work on recent versions of MacOs. Solution: Make it so an empty result is interpreted as an error unless silent=true

fix(tests): needing two calls to setup a screen is cringe

2024-11-14T11:40:57Z

Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for (row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach" function call anyway. Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete (row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.

test: support upvalues in exec_lua
