Previously this wasn't possible since helix-core depends on helix-loader,
so helix-loader couldn't use helix-core's path extensions.
We use the path normalization/canonicalization for the runtime directory
provided by the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable. This improves a
scenario where you set a path containing a tilde. Now that path will be
expanded and normalized.
helix-stdx is meant to carry extensions to the stdlib or low-level
dependencies that are useful in all other crates. This commit starts
with all of the path functions from helix-core and the CWD tracking that
lived in helix-loader.
The CWD tracking in helix-loader was previously unable to call the
canonicalization functions in helix-core. Switching to our custom
canonicalization code should make no noticeable difference though
since `std::env::current_dir` returns a canonicalized path with
symlinks resolved (at least on unix).
* Generalised to multiple runtime directories with priorities
This is an implementation for #3346.
Previously, one of the following runtime directories were used:
1. `$HELIX_RUNTIME`
2. sibling directory to `$CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR`
3. subdirectory of user config directory
4. subdirectory of path to helix executable
The first directory provided / found to exist in this order was used as a
root for all runtime file searches (grammars, themes, queries).
This change lowers the priority of `$HELIX_RUNTIME` so that the user
config runtime has higher priority. More significantly, all of these
directories are now searched for runtime files, enabling a user to override
default or system-level runtime files. If the same file name appears
in multiple runtime directories, the following priority is now used:
1. sibling directory to `$CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR`
2. subdirectory of user config directory
3. `$HELIX_RUNTIME`
4. subdirectory of path to helix executable
One exception to this rule is that a user can have a `themes`
directory directly in the user config directory that has higher piority
to `themes` directories in runtime directories. That behaviour has been
preserved.
As part of implementing this feature `theme::Loader` was simplified
and the cycle detection logic of the theme inheritance was improved to
cover more cases and to be more explicit.
* Removed AsRef usage to avoid binary growth
* Health displaying ;-separated runtime dirs
* Changed HELIX_RUNTIME build from src instructions
* Updated doc for more detail on runtime directories
* Improved health symlink printing and theme cycle errors
The health display of runtime symlinks now prints both ends of the
link.
Separate errors are given when theme file is not found and when the
only theme file found would form an inheritence cycle.
* Satisfied clippy on passing Path
* Clarified highest priority runtime directory purpose
* Further clarified multiple runtime details in book
Also gave markdown headings to subsections.
Fixed a error with table indentation not building
table that also appears present on master.

* Split helix_core::find_root and helix_loader::find_local_config_dirs
The documentation of find_root described the following priority for
detecting a project root:
- Top-most folder containing a root marker in current git repository
- Git repository root if no marker detected
- Top-most folder containing a root marker if not git repository detected
- Current working directory as fallback
The commit contained in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/1249
extracted and changed the implementation of find_root in find_root_impl,
actually reversing its result order (since that is the order that made
sense for the local configuration merge, from innermost to outermost
ancestors).
Since the two uses of find_root_impl have different requirements (and
it's not a matter of reversing the order of results since, e.g., the top
repository dir should be used by find_root only if there's not marker in
other dirs), this PR splits the two implementations in two different
specialized functions.
In doing so, find_root_impl is removed and the implementation is moved
back in find_root, moving it closer to the documented behaviour thus
making it easier to verify it's actually correct
* helix-core: remove Option from find_root return type
It always returns some result, so Option is not needed
When looking up the runtime/ directory relative to the executable path,
canonicalize the path first in case the executable is a symbolic link.
Fixes#3768
- This ensures that other values than just the arrays are overridden, like nested objects, where it makes sense
- merge_depth is set to 3 so that top-level language features are merged (like 'scope'), but everything deeper is overridden with the user-config
When a new View of a Document is created, a default cursor of 0, 0 is
created, and it does not get normalized to a single width cursor until
at least one movement of the cursor happens. This appears to have no
practical negative effect that I could find, but it makes tests difficult
to work with, since the initial selection is not what you expect it to be.
This changes the initial selection of a new View to be the width of the
first grapheme in the text.
* Use new macro syntax for encoding sequences of keys
* Make convenience helpers for common test pattern
* Use indoc for inline indented raw strings
* Add feature flag for integration testing to disable rendering
We merge the elements of arrays for the top-level array. For
`languages.toml`, this is the array of languages. For any nested
arrays, we simply take the `right` array as-is instead of using
the union of `left` and `right`.
closes#1000
This is a rather large refactor that moves most of the code for
loading, fetching, and building grammars into a new helix-loader
module. This works well with the [[grammars]] syntax for
languages.toml defined earlier: we only have to depend on the types
for GrammarConfiguration in helix-loader and can leave all the
[[language]] entries for helix-core.
