fix(path): normalize path slashes on Windows #37729

2026-04-24T17:20:25Z

Problem: On Windows, path separators may become inconsistent for various reasons, which makes normalization quite painful. Solution: Normalize paths to `/` at the entry boundaries and always use it internally, converting back only in rare cases where `\` is really needed (e.g. cmd.exe/bat scripts?). This is the first commit in a series of incremental steps. Note: * some funcs won't respect shellslash. e.g. `expand/fnamemodify` * some funcs still respect shellslash, but will be updated in a follow PR. e.g. `ex_pwd/f_chdir/f_getcwd` * uv's built-in funcs always return `\`. e.g. `uv.cwd/uv.exepath` Co-authored-by: Justin M.

test: start test runners in Xtest_xdg dir (#37964)

2026-02-19T22:53:33Z

This is a better way to prevent parallel tests from interfering with each other, as there are many ways files can be created and deleted in tests, so enforcing different file names is hard. Using $TMPDIR can also work in most cases, but 'backipskip' etc. have special defaults for $TMPDIR. Symlink runtime/, src/, test/ and README.md to Xtest_xdg dir to make tests more convenient (and symlinking test/ is required for busted). Also, use README.md instead of test/README.md in the Ex mode inccommand test, as test/README.md no longer contains 'N' char.

test: support running functionaltests in parallel by directory (#37918)

2026-02-18T07:56:50Z

Define a CMake target for every subdirectory of test/functional that contains functional tests, and a functionaltest_parallel target that depends on all those targets, allowing multiple test runners to run in parallel. On CI, use at most 2 parallel test runners, as using more may increase system load and make tests unstable.

vim-patch:9.1.1948: Windows: Vim adds current directory to search path

2025-12-04T03:54:27Z

Problem: Windows: Vim always adds the current directory to search path. This should only happen when using cmd.exe as 'shell'. For example, powershell won't run binaries from the current directory. Solution: Only add current directory to system path, when using cmd.exe as 'shell'. related: vim/vim#10341 related: 083ec6d9a3b7 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/4d87c9742a544a58c05cb34d4fbaac47e410b369 Co-authored-by: Christian Brabandt

test: improve test conventions

2024-04-23T16:17:04Z

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`. Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/27004.
