asyncrun.vim

• asyncrun#get_root(0) returns current root

• asyncrun#get_root() now accepts buffer number, if you pass an integer in the first argument, it will be interpreted as a buffer number.

This will display the root of current buffer:

:echo asyncrun#get_root(bufnr('%'))

as well as:

:echo asyncrun#get_root('%')

• fixed shellslash issue in NeoVim.

• Force to use "cmd.exe" as g:asyncrun_shell on Windows.

• Update script_write() to write files silently to avoid displaying unnecessary messages.

• set g:asyncrun_mode to 1 during creating a terminal buffer and clear it to 0 after buffer has been created.
• script triggered by the #TerminalOpen or #TermOpen autocmd can use it to detect if this terminal buffer is created by asyncrun.

new g:asyncrun_rooter hook for root detection:

• each item in the g:asyncrun_rooter dictionary is a function pointer (or name).
• each function will be called to detect current buffer's root directory, until find one valid result.
• returns empty string to skip, see the example

let g:asyncrun_rooter = get(g:, 'asyncrun_rooter', {})
function! g:asyncrun_rooter.mydetect()
    if unable_to_detect
        return ''
    endif
    return '/path/to/root'
endfunc

• Added handling for fugitive buffers in asyncrun#fullname() function

• accept AsyncRun :!!command to start gui programs.
• minor issues fixed.

• added try/catch for Ex commands (starting with colon), eg. :AsyncRun :echo 123 and display exception if failed.
• fixed minor issues.

• new api g:asyncrun#current_root() can return current root directory.

• new -init=script option to run a init script for terminal task after successfully opening the terminal window:

:AsyncRun -mode=term -pos=right -init=setlocal\ ft=myterminit   bash

• new -ft=filetype option to set filetype for a terminal buffer:

:AsyncRun -mode=term -pos=right -ft=myterminit   bash

• Strip message even if process fails

• new option -runner=xxx can work as an alias to -mode=term -pos=xxx.
• polish external function calling

• terminal: accept -scroll=0 option to keep consistency.

Changes:

• terminal: only reuse terminal window created by asyncrun, prevent side-effect to other terminal plugins.
• terminal: simplify terminal reusable check routine.
• terminal: enable reuse by default for split terminal (can be disabled by -reuse=0).
• terminal: enable autoscroll for terminal buffers in a non-active window (-focus=0).

try this:

:AsyncRun -mode=term -pos=bottom -focus=0 -rows=5  ls -la /

You will see the autoscroll is enabled in the terminal window.

• vim-7.4.1829 compliance
• add noautocmd prefix to cd command for temporary working directory changing.
• silent error message when directory doesn't exist.

• terminal: polish terminal buffer name generation.
• terminal: enable safe-argument-passing mode for vim-8.2 and above.
• remove unnecessary messages.

• terminal: initialize a proper terminal name for vim-8.2 and above
• terminal: wipe previous finished terminal buffer when '-reuse' is presented

• new option g:asyncrun_term_wipe, set to non-zero to change the &bufhidden of terminal buffer to 'wipe' when command finished.
• the default value of g:asyncrun_term_wipe is 1.
