Second attempt at a neovim-backed repl

[caleb-allen]

Not ready for use!

For development:

Start the "development instance" with:

nvim --listen '127.0.0.1:5555'

Start the logging output with:

while true
nc -l -p 1234
end

Then run the package:

julia -i -e 'using VimBindings; VimBindings.enable_logging("Nvim")

For reference, this branch is using Neovim.jl. The documentation for the neovim api are very helpful: https://neovim.io/doc/user/api.html

while true
nc -l -p 1234

where do you run this?

[caleb-allen]

@Moelf I run it in a separate terminal; this is in a fish shell, so the while syntax may not work with bash.

You should be able to run nc -l -p 1234 on its own.

Alternately, if you leave out the VimBindings.enable_logging("Nvim") then it will run without logging.

(I really should write up a doc about development, my apologies!)

I specifically switched to bash from fish thought it's some bash thing 🤦

next thing I get is

julia> Unhandled Task ERROR: MethodError: no method matching nvim_connect(::Int64, ::VimBindings.Nvim.ReplBindingsHandler)

I think you may have a specialized method somewhere locally?

[caleb-allen]

Sorry, I realized I left an `end` out, probably what caused issues!

Oh, you're right. I'm about to board a flight, I'll try to get that into this PR soon though. My bad.

[caleb-allen]

Alright, I've made a fork of Neovim.jl with my changes, try to dev it and see if that fixes the issues.

https://github.com/caleb-allen/Neovim.jl

Probably worth making a PR later on, once development has settled.

Let me know if you encounter more issues

[caleb-allen]

The majority of the relevant code in the PR is in nvim.jl; the majority of the package code is bypassed.

You can also ignore/delete any commented code.
