Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.
- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
"know" about the various magic symbols.
So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.
Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
`t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.
Problem:
Continue separators normalization, and try to keep it at the
nvim <-> external boundary, e.g., `fn.xxx`, `api.xxx`, `:xxx`
Solution:
some key changes
- normalize `$HOME-windows`
- normalize entry points of changing directory
- `nvim_set_current_dir()`, `chdir()`
- normalize the named pipe
- `--listen` arg, `--server` arg, `:restart`
- `serverstart()`, `sockconnect()`, `serverstop()`
- make `expand()` respect 'shellslash' again
- clean up `did_set_shellslash`
- replace `forward_slash` with `TO_SLASH`
- remove obsolete `TMP_PATHSEPSTR`
- remove `slash_adjust` in `do_autocmd_dirchanged`?
- make `fnamemodify()` always return `/` (except when substituting
separators via `:s`, `:gs` ?)
Note:
- these funcs still apply `slash_adjust` on return, as before:
`:pwd`, `chdir()`, `exepath()`, `getcwd()`
- these funcs alwarys return `/`, unlike before the normalization PRs
- `getcompletion()`, `finddir()`, `findfile()`
Also
- clean up code, comments, formatting and tests
- move `TO_SLASH` from `f_chdir` to `changedir_func`
- move `TO_SLASH` from `f_bufadd` to `buflist_new`

Problem:
The Lua test harness still ran through standalone -ll mode, so tests
depended on the low-level Lua path instead of the regular Nvim Lua
environment. That also meant os.exit() coverage had to carry an ASAN
workaround because Lua's raw process exit skipped Nvim teardown and let
LeakSanitizer interfere with the observed exit code.
Solution:
Run the harness and related fixtures with nvim -l. Patch os.exit() in
the main Lua state to exit through getout(), so scripts observe normal
Nvim shutdown while standalone -ll remains available for generator-style
scripts. As a consequence, the startup test can assert os.exit() without
disabling leak detection.

This fixes a regression from cf6f60ce4d
(possibly), as before that commit a frame is popped from the call stack
immediately after its response is received.
Also fix leaking the allocated error messages.
Problem:
- `n.spawn()` is misleading because it also connects RPC, it's not just
"spawning" a process.
- It's confusing that `n.spawn()` and `n.spawn_argv()` are separate.
Solution:
- Replace `n.spawn()`/`n.spawn_argv()` with a single function `n.new_session()`.
This name aligns with the existing functions `n.set_session`/`n.get_session`.
- Note: removes direct handling of `prepend_argv`, but I doubt that was
important or intentional. If callers want to control use of `prepend_argv`
then we should add a new flag to `test.session.Opts`.
- Move `keep` to first parameter of `n.new_session()`.
- Add a `merge` flag to `test.session.Opts`
- Mark `_new_argv()` as private. Test should use clear/new_session/spawn_wait
instead.
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.
Extend the capabilities of is_os to detect more platforms such as
freebsd and openbsd. Also remove `iswin()` helper function as it can be
replaced by `is_os("win")`.
This is essentially a convenience wrapper around the `pending()`
function, similar to `skip_fragile()` but more general-purpose.
Also remove `pending_win32` function as it can be replaced by
`skip(iswin())`.
Problem:
- Since c57f6b28d7#8519, sockets are created in ~/.local/… but XDG
spec says: "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR: Must be on the local filesystem", which
implies that XDG_STATE_DIR is potentially non-local.
- Not easy to inspect Nvim-created temp files (for debugging etc).
Solution:
- Store sockets in stdpath('run') ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR).
- Establish "/tmp/nvim.user/" as the tempdir root shared by all Nvims.
- Make ok() actually useful.
- Introduce assert_nolog().

It was not possible to run the tests under the gdbserver because we were
not closing the old session before starting a new one. This caused the
server to not to be able to bind to the given address and crashing the
tests.
This commit closes the session before starting a new one.

- Rename `meth_pcall`.
- Make `pcall_err` raise an error if the function does not fail.
- Add `vim.pesc()` to treat a string as literal where a Lua pattern is
expected.
Automatically include all "global helper" util functions in the
unit.helpers and functional.helpers and modules. So tests don't need to
expicitly do:
local global_helpers = require('test.helpers')
- Return VimL errors instead of generic errors for:
- nvim_call_function
- nvim_call_dict_function
- Fix tests which were silently broken before this change.
This violates #6150 where we agreed not to translate API errors. But
that can be fixed later.

Change all tests to ensure a server was actually started before
expecting it to be returned from serverlist().
With the old behavior, if a GUI makes a blocking request that requires user
interaction (like nvim_input()), it would not get any screen updates.
The client, not nvim, should decide how to handle notifications during a
pending request. If an rplugin wants to avoid async calls while a sync call is
busy, it likely wants to avoid processing async calls while another async call
also is handled as well.
This may break the expectation of some existing rplugins. For compatibility,
remote/define.vim reimplements the old behavior. Clients can opt-out by
specifying `sync=urgent`.
- Legacy hosts should be updated to use `sync=urgent`. They could add a flag
indicating which async methods are always safe to call and which must wait
until the main loop returns.
- New hosts can expose the full asyncness, they don't need to offer both
behaviors.
