Tinmarino 72d02207b0 Syntax: Fasten highlighting, from 200ms to 20ms for first screen update
Problem:

The loading of a .md file was slow due to multiple nested lookback.
It is advised in vim help to prefer \zs, see :h /\@<
Anyway, it is useless to nest them.

089.323  000.001: editing files in windows
089.414  000.091: VimEnter autocommands
089.415  000.001: before starting main loop
303.698  214.283: first screen update
303.700  000.002: --- VIM STARTED ---

Solution:

Remove the function s:expand_delimiter in vars.vim.
It was doing a duplicate job with vimwiki#u#hi_expand_regex
And ... well avoid lookback as much as possible

Vimwiki Tests

This directory contains a test framework used to automatically test/verify Vimwiki functionality. It is based on the following tools:

Resources

Building Docker Image

To build the Docker image run docker build -t vimwiki . from the Vimwiki repository root (same location as the Dockerfile).

Running Tests

Manual Steps

Starting in the test directory run this command:

docker run -it --rm -v $PWD/../:/testplugin -v $PWD/../test:/home vimwiki vim_7.4.1099 -u test/vimrc -i NONE

This will open a vim instance in the docker container and then all tests can be run with :Vader test/* or individual tests can be run.

Note: Substitute vim_7.4.1099 for any of the vim versions in the Dockerfile.

Automated Tests

The script in the test/ directory named run_test.sh can be used to automatically run all tests for all installed vim versions. The vim/nvim versions are parsed from the Dockerfile. This script will also run Vint for all plugin source files. For more information run ./run_tests.sh -h.

Writing Tests

You are advice to write tests at the top of the file where you want to include it because some Execute can have some side effect making it hard to debug

Inside the container

  • $USER -> vimtest : unprivileged => very hard to mess up things
  • $HOME -> /home/vimtest : but it is readonly !
  • $PWD -> /testplugin : mapped to vimwiki plugin root directory

For more information, read the base docker image

Known Issues

  1. neovim v0.2.x does not work correctly with Vader output from the docker container. No test results are printed and an error message saying Vim: Error reading input, exiting...
    • Probably need to look into this more and determine if the issue is Vader, Neovim, or Docker.
  2. Vader does not play nice with the location list. Tests that use the location list should be placed in independent_runs/.
