On Windows, the options file cannot be deleted while it is still open by
another process. Close the file before starting the server. Do not explicitly
flush the file as closing implies flushing.
Bring fully asynchronous completion by polling for completions with a timer
then calling completefunc once the completions are ready. Use the start column
returned by the server in completefunc. Immediately display the last completion
on the TextChangedI event to prevent the popup menu disappearing while waiting
for the completions. Handle the TextChangedI event not being triggered while
the completion menu is open by closing the menu when inserting a character
through the InsertCharPre event, and when deleting a character on the <BS> and
<C-h> keys.
Send the request as the unloaded buffer instead of the current buffer
for the BufferUnload event notification. This fixes the issue where
the filetype of the current buffer is not the same as the unloaded
buffer one, making the ycmd server uses the wrong completer when
handling the request.
When an error occurs during completions, a message is displayed on
the status line. If this message is longer than the width of the
current window, Vim will prompt the user to press enter or type a
command to hide the message, interrupting user workflow. We prevent
that by truncating the message to window width.
Merge PostMultiLineNotice, EchoText, and EchoTextVimWidth functions
into PostVimMessage.
Display an error message to the user depending on the status code
returned by the ycmd server.
Remove ycm_core checks in plugin/youcompleteme.vim. These checks are
now done by the ycmd server.
Do not start a separate process to check the core version but rely on
ycmd returning a specific exit code. This slightly improves the Vim
startup time.
Do not send an "event_notification" request in OnFileReadyToParse
function if server process is terminated. Otherwise, it blocks Vim
for one second or results in a traceback each time the InsertLeave,
CursorMoved, CursorHold, and BufferVisit events are triggered.
Moved File parse request handling and diagnostic extraction flow into
python to simplify flow and allow easier addition of new parse request
handlers such as semantic highlighter.
Refactored base_test to patch separate vimsupport functions instead of
the whole module, and interfering the test results afterwards.
Added new tests for diagnostic sign place/unplace and error/warning
count extraction API.
