Ⅳ. 文档说明
# Vroom: Launch vim tests

_Vroom is experimental. There are still some issues with vim that we
haven't figured out how to work around. We reserve the right to make backwards
incompatible changes in order to address these._
Vroom is for testing vim.
Let's say you're a vimscript author. You want to test your new plugin. You could
find a nice vimscript test suite, but that only lets you test your vimscript
- What you really want is a way to specify vim commands — actual input
- that that the user hits — and then verify vim's output.
Enter vroom.
This is a vroom test.
> iHello, world!<ESC>
Hello, world!
The above vroom test opens vim, sends the keys iHello, world!<ESC> and then
verifies that the contents of the current buffer is Hello, world!.
Things can get much more complex than this, of course. You need to be able to
check the output of multiple buffers. You need to check what messages your
functions echo. You need to sandbox vim, capture its system commands, and
respond with dummy data. And a few shortcuts would be nice.
Never fear! Vroom has it all. Check the examples for details and more
- examples/basics.vroom is a good place to start.
Run vroom -h to learn about vroom's configuration options.
Did you accidentally set off a giant vroom test that's running too fast to halt?
Never fear! Pop open another terminal and vroom --murder.
Make sure the --servername flag matches with the vroom you're trying to kill.
You may need to run reset in the terminal with the murdered vroom.
See the
Tips and Tricks page
page for some strategies for getting the most out of vroom.
Installation
Note that Vroom requires a version of vim built with the +clientserver
option (run vim --version to check). See :help clientserver for
additional requirements.
If you're on Ubuntu or Debian, you can install
release packages from GitHub.
Otherwise, the easiest way to install vroom is to clone the vroom repository
from GitHub, cd into the vroom directory, and run
python3 setup.py build && sudo python3 setup.py installVim 7.4.384 and later have built-in syntax support for the vroom filetype. You
can install the standalone
ft-vroom plugin for older versions of
vim.
Usage
Vroom is invoked from the command-line on .vroom files.
vroom myplugin/vroom/somefile.vroomSee vroom --help and https://github.com/google/vroom/wiki for more info on
usage.
Vroom cheat sheet
Below is a table of the special symbols and conventions vroom recognizes. See
the files under examples/ and in particular
examples/basics.vroom for explanations.
<!-- Note for editors: the code spans below use NO-BREAK SPACE characters to
render literal spaces -->
| Symbol | Description | Action | Example | Controls | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| unindented line | comment | This is a comment | ||||
> | gt leader | input | > iHello, world!<ESC> | (N.Ns) (delay) | ||
: | colon leader | command | :echomsg 'A message' | (N.Ns) (delay) | ||
% | percent leader | text | % Sent to buffer | (N.Ns) (delay) | ||
| 2-space indent | output (buffer) | Compared to buffer | (N) (buf number) | ||
& | ampersand | output | & :LiteralText | (N) (buf number) | ||
~ | tilde leader | message | ~ Echo'd! | match modes (default: verbatim) | ||
| ` | ` | pipe leader | continuation | ` | …TO A BIGGER HOUSE!` | |
! | bang leader | system | ! echo From Vim | match modes (default: regex) | ||
$ | dollar leader | hijack | $ Nope, from vroom | output channels (default: stdout) | ||
@ | at leader | directive | @clear | varies |
Special controls:
- match modes (for message and system):
(verbatim),(glob),(regex) - output channels (for hijack):
(stdout),(stderr),(status),(command)
Vroom also supports several built-in directives. See
examples/directives.vroom and
examples/macros.vroom for explanations.
Directives:
@clear— Clear buffer contents (also triggered by 3 blank vroom lines).@end— Ensure buffer matching reached end of buffer lines.@messages— Override strictness for unexpected messages.@system— Override strictness for unexpected system calls.@macro— Define vroom macro.@endmacro— End vroom macro and resume normal vroom processing.@do— Invoke vroom macro defined with@macro.
Neovim mode
By default, vroom uses vim to execute vroom files. You can instead invoke it
with the --neovim flag to execute vroom files inside neovim.
To use it, you need to install the neovim-mode dependencies:
- Install neovim for your platform according to the directions at
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing. - Install neovim/python-client:
sudo pip3 install neovimTravis CI
You can configure your vim plugin's vroom files to be tested continuously in
Travis CI.
Just create a .travis.yml file at the root of your repository. The particulars
may vary for your plugin, but here's an example configuration:
language: generic
before_script:
# Install your desired version of vroom.
- wget https://github.com/google/vroom/releases/download/v0.12.0/vroom_0.12.0-1_all.deb
- sudo dpkg -i vroom_0.12.0-1_all.deb
# Install vim.
- sudo apt-get install vim-gnome
# Vroom's vim mode currently requires a running X server.
- export DISPLAY=:99.0
- sh -e /etc/init.d/xvfb start
# If your plugin depends on maktaba, clone maktaba into a sibling directory.
- git clone https://github.com/google/vim-maktaba.git ../maktaba/
script:
- vroom --crawl ./vroom/It's also possible to test your plugin against neovim, but the recommended
instructions are still being finalized. Details coming soon.
Known issues
Vroom uses vim as a server. Unfortunately, we don't yet have a reliable way to
detect when vim has finished processing commands. Vroom currently relies upon
arbitrary delays. As such, tests run more slowly than is necessary. Furthermore,
some lengthy commands in vroom tests require additional arbitrary delays in
order to make the tests pass.
We're still looking for workarounds. (If you, like us, wish vim had a sane
client/server architecture, consider
supporting
neovim.)
