plenary.nvim VS nvim-treesitter-textobjects

we can create a function to open a pop up menu using plenary.popup like this, you need to install neovim plenary if you don't already have it https://github.com/nvim-lua/plenary.nvim

If you are really interested in doing this yourself with loop, you should take a look at either plenary.job or netman.shell (I made the latter) as both are very well documented.

I feel this :( That said, alot of plugins rely on plenary.nvim. Its up to you if you determine this is "non-essential" or not. It will almost certainly be available for you to use already.

The big reason I ask is that reaching out to an external python shell to run commands (disregard the fact that its python running) is going to be much slower than using the in built lua JIT interpreter. Additionally, plenary has a built in curl function so you don't have to "reinvent the wheel".

There is also test harness in nvim-lua/plenary.nvim with a slightly different design, but still usable of course.

I am simply using busted or more specifically vusted which is a wrapper around busted for Neovim. It should be quite straightforward to learn the basics, I would say you mostly need to know these functions: describe, it (these are used to structure your test cases) and assert.are_same (to check for table equality). Some people are also using plenary which is also based on busted.

It's based on nvim-lua-plugin-template, but uses Nix flakes to run plenary.nvim tests.

Plenary plugin for Nvim

I was hoping to use nvim-treesitter-textobjects to jump to the next argument via something like this:

You want to look at nvim-treesitter-textobjects. It let's you define keymaps for navigating text objects defined by treesitter and you can also use them with commands like d, c and so on.

Thank you! It looks like nvim-treesitter-textobjects is a good plugin to start with:

I'm aware of nvim-treesitter-textobjects and I suspect my answer lies in this plugin, but is there a way to move between root nodes that is agnostic of the node type?

Thanks! I just started using https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects, and it works as a charm.

nvim-treesitter-textobjects

In this case, reading here is probably a good start: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects

Have a look at https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects. Set up the @block.inner and @block.outer textobjects and it should work.

nvim-treesitter-textobjects lets you jump to (for instance) functions more accurately than with a regex-based approach using ]f

Or even better, one can use nvim-treesitter-textobjects. It already provides function/class selection and go-to functionality out-of-the-box.
