Our CI checks are run using nix
.
We use the following tools:
.editorconfig
(witheditorconfig-checker
)stylua
[Lua]alejandra
[Nix]
- Requires flakes to be enabled.
We provide a flake.nix
that can bootstrap all of the above development tools.
To enter a development shell:
nix develop
To apply formatting, while in a devShell, run
pre-commit run --all
If you use direnv
,
just run direnv allow
and you will be dropped in this devShell.
We use busted
for testing,
but with Neovim as the Lua interpreter.
The easiest way to run tests is with Nix (see below).
If you do not use Nix, you can also run the test suite using luarocks test
.
For more information on how to set up Neovim as a Lua interpreter, see
- The neorocks tutorial.
Or
nlua
.
Note
The Nix devShell sets up luarocks test
to use Neovim as the interpreter.
If you just want to run all checks that are available, run:
nix flake check -L --option sandbox false
To run tests locally, using Nix:
nix build .#checks.<your-system>.integration-nightly -L --option sandbox false
For example:
nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.integration-nightly -L --option sandbox false
For formatting and linting:
nix build .#checks.<your-system>.pre-commit-check -L
For static type checking:
nix build .#checks.<your-system>.type-check-nightly -L
If you want to test your contributions to rocks.nvim
manually,
we recommend you set NVIM_APPNAME
to something other than nvim
, so that your test environment
doesn't interfere with your regular Neovim installation.
We also provide a Nix flake output that you can use to test-drive rocks.nvim
:
nix run .#neovim-with-rocks
It sets NVIM_APPNAME
to nvimrocks
.
