code_runner.nvim VS overseer.nvim

I used to use this plugin: https://github.com/CRAG666/code_runner.nvim ... up until I realized that I could just run my code from the terminal without the need of a plugin for that

I would recommend the Neovim from Scratch series on Youtube with the addition of the code_runner.nvim plugin. It's a good config that will teach you a lot about configuring Neovim. code_runner.nvim is a nice addition, especially for a university student. Good luck!

You should be able to use code_runner.nvim. I only say "should" because I've never tried to install it with vim-plug. Obviously, you shouldn't have any issue getting it ip and running. It has some default configurations for languages which will suit your use case just fine. You can specify how you want the code_runner window to open.

You can check this plugin out. I use it an like it a lot. Some people are currently having problems with it, but I think it's mainly people new to Neovim entirely. I've responded to a couple of issues to see if I could help out. Happy to help with setup if needed.

This plugin is the way to go. Is very simple and yet very powerful. Dies exactly what you want.

Hi!! You can try using https://github.com/CRAG666/code_runner.nvim . It is fairly easy to setup.

I've just got https://github.com/CRAG666/code_runner.nvim working but the file needs to be saved before I can run to see changes, & I cant save while the plugin is open in the term. Does anyone know of a solution?

I have set up astrovim & I am trying to add this plugin https://github.com/CRAG666/code_runner.nvim

How about this?

When working on multiple projects it might be useful to define some local configuration that should be automatically loaded. This e.g. includes customized LSP configuration or adding build tasks for task runner plugins like overseer.nvim. To do that you can create .nvim.lua in your project directory and define your local settings there.

I use https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim, a task/job runner kinda like the one in VS Code. You can run your builds, tests, lints, etc. with it.

overseer.nvim

There's overseer.nvim to run all sorts of things and neotest to run tests. In general, you can check awesome-neovim or TWiN to look for plugins.

Here's an example of how to configure your vim_ui_select picker for the amazing task managing plugin overseer.nvim!

I use overseer for this https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim

I would like to call out that "make compiler plugins async" sounds like a simple change, but quickly becomes quite complex. Let's say you do an async :make, now you have a background process. How do you cancel it? How do you view the output? Can you hide it and then come back to it? Can you run more than one at a time? Can you view all running tasks? If you want to have only very basic controls you could do what vim-dispatch is doing, but I personally don't think it's very good. I think any solution shy of VS Code style tasks control will be insufficient, but I think the appetite for adding something that complex to core Neovim is quite low. That said, this (and more) is something I really wanted, which is why I wrote overseer.nvim

I still can't get testing and debugging tests down, so I am going back to intellij or goland to do that. I have been at it for about 3 weeks now. I spent so much time setting up my config. haha. Having said that, I really like Overseer https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim
