Rope VS vim-test

Hi, maintainer of rope here. There are a number of different options to use rope in Vim/Neovim, we've documented them in this page https://github.com/python-rope/rope/wiki/Rope-in-Vim-or-Neovim

If you're looking for something with a bigger codebase, then the rope library in which pylsp-rope is based on is also welcoming of contributions.

I think rope is the standard for refactoring, and should provide autoimports soon, though pyright might also be good for that.

If you are interested in discussing this or have ideas you want to sketch out, meet me at rope's GitHub Discussion.

However, my biggest and most popular open source project is one that I don't originally write, but rather I inherited a popular project that has been abandoned by their original author/maintainers. I use Python a lot, so I wanted to contribute to the community in a significant way, so unlike my other projects I do take the time promoting this project as well. I felt it's more like a community service for this project.

I am the maintainer rope and pylsp-rope. They are libraries for automated Python refactoring and to do that from any LSP-capable editors. We are always welcoming contributors of all levels.

Rope has first class support for Vim and it can do a move refactoring, among other refactorings. From this, this feature is available from python-mode and ropevim.

Okay this depends: if your code is static: perfectly possible for example with https://github.com/python-rope/rope (used for example by VS Code). If it's dynamic / generated via metaprogramming: I never tried it but I can't imagine that it'd work there, yes. However java tooling also can't do that because it simply doesn't support metaprogramming in any noteworthy way.

If you need inspiration, you can use vim-test as a reference. It's the Vim equivalent of neotest, written in Vimscript (doesn't support tree-sitter and diagnostics).

My plugin NeoTerm.lua supports "run test at cursor" out of the box with vim-test, i.e. zero configuration.

Vim test is great, supports a lot of frameworks and is easy to extend (with vi script) https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test

I am trying to set up the popular vim-test (https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test) plugin so that when I run tests they run on a tmux pane. vim-test uses a default strategy of running the tests via neovim’s built-in terminal. They also support many strategies which include running on a tmux pane.

I use https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test runs tests in a lot of languages. Very fast and clean output.

vim-test run your test with a simple mapping. Works with rSpec and Minitest (and dozens other languages)

I've made the move from vim to Emacs with Evil-mode for a little while now, but still miss https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test. I wonder if there's a port for evil-mode or if you know of something closer to it you can recommend. Thanks

One project that does a fantastic job on these two points is https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test Both adding new execution environments and test-runners can be done with minimal fuzz. Only thing is I would like a tutorial of how to add a new runner.
