vim-test VS nvim-dap

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.

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

Also, you can set up debugger integration with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap .

You could use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-python.

I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

(neovim only) nvim-dap

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

If you want to debug types in TypeScript, you could use marilari88/twoslash-queries.nvim. If you would like to debug TypeScript/JavaScript code, then you need mfussenegger/nvim-dap, you could read this article: Debugging using DAP to understand how to set up it.
