neotest VS nvim

My first neovim plugin project was to write an adapter (runner) for neotest, for a language that I use regularly and which was missing from the existing adapters.

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 some things that may help: - https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + dap ui - https://github.com/nvim-neotest/neotest

I use neotest to run tests (with pytest).

For testing I use https://github.com/nvim-neotest/neotest which gives a nice outline.

For those who don't know it, it's an adapter for neotest, a Neovim plugin that

You might look at how Neotest handles this, or even see if you can use/contribute to that project directly. It already has support for a fair number of languages at varying levels of maturity.

I am writing Python these days, and LSP + DAP + neotest give me 90% of what PyCharm would have given me. I don't know how well this works with Java, the latter two did not exist when I was still writing Java. The way I did it was use Neovim with jdt-ls to write code and IntelliJ for debugging. Debugging does not require switching between keyboard and mouse, so it was OK to me.

I'm sure that we could figure out a way to install rocks without luarocks, but it's still going to be an additional step with possible complications. Personally, I would rather just embed the library within my plugin like neotest does with xml2lua. The marginal cost of a slightly larger install is more than paid for by an easier install process and a guarantee that it works.

Hmm... It should be. Here is my setup and I use both 'init.lua' and 'after/ftplugin'. The latter is sourced every time filetype option is set.

This is meant as a Friday post to make more people aware of 'after/ftplugin' directory, because I find this approach really more structured than using autocommands. For reference, here is how I do it.

It is in "closed alpha", so to speak, i.e. in my Neovim configuration [here](https://github.com/echasnovski/nvim/blob/master/lua/mini-dev/test.lua). Yet needs some Lua experience to go through source code, but it will be easier with more examples in the near future. I plan to release it for beta testing in a couple of weeks.

Sure, here you go.

Hi, I use Neovim with R and Rmarkdown without Nvim-R for a quite a while now. Here is my config.
