Diagnostic framework                                     *vim.diagnostic*

Nvim provides a framework for displaying errors or warnings from external
tools, otherwise known as "diagnostics". These diagnostics can come from a
variety of sources, such as linters or LSP servers. The diagnostic framework
is an extension to existing error handling functionality such as the
|quickfix| list.

QUICKSTART                                              *diagnostic-quickstart*

Anything that reports diagnostics is referred to below as a "diagnostic
producer". Diagnostic producers need only follow a few simple steps to
report diagnostics:

1. Create a namespace |nvim_create_namespace()|. Note that the namespace must
   have a name. Anonymous namespaces WILL NOT WORK.
2. (Optional) Configure options for the diagnostic namespace
   |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
3. Generate diagnostics.
4. Set the diagnostics for the buffer |vim.diagnostic.set()|.
5. Repeat from step 3.

Generally speaking, the API is split between functions meant to be used by
diagnostic producers and those meant for diagnostic consumers (i.e. end users
who want to read and view the diagnostics for a buffer).  The APIs for
producers require a {namespace} as their first argument, while those for
consumers generally do not require a namespace (though often one may be
optionally supplied).  A good rule of thumb is that if a method is meant to
modify the diagnostics for a buffer (e.g. |vim.diagnostic.set()|) then it
requires a namespace.

                                *vim.diagnostic.severity* *diagnostic-severity*
The "severity" key in a diagnostic is one of the values defined in
`vim.diagnostic.severity`:

    vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR
    vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN
    vim.diagnostic.severity.INFO
    vim.diagnostic.severity.HINT

Functions that take a severity as an optional parameter (e.g.
|vim.diagnostic.get()|) accept one of three forms:

1. A single |vim.diagnostic.severity| value: >lua

    vim.diagnostic.get(0, { severity = vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN })

2. A table with a "min" or "max" key (or both): >lua

    vim.diagnostic.get(0, { severity = { min = vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN } })
<
    This form allows users to specify a range of severities.

3. A list-like table: >lua

    vim.diagnostic.get(0, { severity = {
        vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN,
        vim.diagnostic.severity.INFO,
    } })
<
    This form allows users to filter for specific severities

==============================================================================
DEFAULTS                                              *diagnostic-defaults*

These diagnostic keymaps are created unconditionally when Nvim starts:
- `]d` jumps to the next diagnostic in the buffer. |]d-default|
- `[d` jumps to the previous diagnostic in the buffer. |[d-default|
- `]D` jumps to the last diagnostic in the buffer. |]D-default|
- `[D` jumps to the first diagnostic in the buffer. |[D-default|
- `<C-w>d` shows diagnostic at cursor in a floating window. |CTRL-W_d-default|

==============================================================================
HANDLERS                                                *diagnostic-handlers*

Diagnostics are shown to the user with |vim.diagnostic.show()|. The display of
diagnostics is managed through handlers. A handler is a table with a "show"
and (optionally) a "hide" function. The "show" function has the signature
>
    function(namespace, bufnr, diagnostics, opts)
<
and is responsible for displaying or otherwise handling the given
diagnostics. The "hide" function takes care of "cleaning up" any actions taken
by the "show" function and has the signature
>
    function(namespace, bufnr)
<
Handlers can be configured with |vim.diagnostic.config()| and added by
creating a new key in `vim.diagnostic.handlers` (see
|diagnostic-handlers-example|).

The {opts} table passed to a handler is the full set of configuration options
(that is, it is not limited to just the options for the handler itself). The
values in the table are already resolved (i.e. if a user specifies a
function for a config option, the function has already been evaluated).

If a diagnostic handler is configured with a "severity" key then the list of
diagnostics passed to that handler will be filtered using the value of that
key (see example below).

Nvim provides these handlers by default: "virtual_text", "virtual_lines",
"signs", and "underline".

                                                *diagnostic-handlers-example*
The example below creates a new handler that notifies the user of diagnostics
with |vim.notify()|: >lua

    -- It's good practice to namespace custom handlers to avoid collisions
    vim.diagnostic.handlers["my/notify"] = {
      show = function(namespace, bufnr, diagnostics, opts)
        -- In our example, the opts table has a "log_level" option
        local level = opts["my/notify"].log_level

        local name = vim.diagnostic.get_namespace(namespace).name
        local msg = string.format("%d diagnostics in buffer %d from %s",
                                  #diagnostics,
                                  bufnr,
                                  name)
        vim.notify(msg, level)
      end,
    }

    -- Users can configure the handler
    vim.diagnostic.config({
      ["my/notify"] = {
        log_level = vim.log.levels.INFO,

        -- This handler will only receive "error" diagnostics.
        severity = vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR,
      }
    })
<
In this example, there is nothing to do when diagnostics are hidden, so we
omit the "hide" function.

Existing handlers can be overridden. For example, use the following to only
show a sign for the highest severity diagnostic on a given line: >lua

    -- Create a custom namespace. This will aggregate signs from all other
    -- namespaces and only show the one with the highest severity on a
    -- given line
    local ns = vim.api.nvim_create_namespace("my_namespace")

    -- Get a reference to the original signs handler
    local orig_signs_handler = vim.diagnostic.handlers.signs

    -- Override the built-in signs handler
    vim.diagnostic.handlers.signs = {
      show = function(_, bufnr, _, opts)
        -- Get all diagnostics from the whole buffer rather than just the
        -- diagnostics passed to the handler
        local diagnostics = vim.diagnostic.get(bufnr)

        -- Find the "worst" diagnostic per line
        local max_severity_per_line = {}
        for _, d in pairs(diagnostics) do
          local m = max_severity_per_line[d.lnum]
          if not m or d.severity < m.severity then
            max_severity_per_line[d.lnum] = d
          end
        end

        -- Pass the filtered diagnostics (with our custom namespace) to
        -- the original handler
        local filtered_diagnostics = vim.tbl_values(max_severity_per_line)
        orig_signs_handler.show(ns, bufnr, filtered_diagnostics, opts)
      end,
      hide = function(_, bufnr)
        orig_signs_handler.hide(ns, bufnr)
      end,
    }
<

                                          *diagnostic-toggle-virtual-lines-example*
Diagnostic handlers can also be toggled. For example, you might want to toggle
the `virtual_lines` handler with the following keymap: >lua

    vim.keymap.set('n', 'gK', function()
      local new_config = not vim.diagnostic.config().virtual_lines
      vim.diagnostic.config({ virtual_lines = new_config })
    end, { desc = 'Toggle diagnostic virtual_lines' })
<

                                          *diagnostic-loclist-example*
Whenever the |location-list| is opened, the following `show` handler will show
the most recent diagnostics: >lua

  vim.diagnostic.handlers.loclist = {
    show = function(_, _, _, opts)
      -- Generally don't want it to open on every update
      opts.loclist.open = opts.loclist.open or false
      local winid = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
      vim.diagnostic.setloclist(opts.loclist)
      vim.api.nvim_set_current_win(winid)
    end
  }
<

The handler accepts the same options as |vim.diagnostic.setloclist()| and can be
configured using |vim.diagnostic.config()|: >lua

  -- Open the location list on every diagnostic change (warnings/errors only).
  vim.diagnostic.config({
    loclist = {
      open = true,
      severity = { min = vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN },
    }
  })
<

HIGHLIGHTS                                              *diagnostic-highlights*

All highlights defined for diagnostics begin with `Diagnostic` followed by
the type of highlight (e.g., `Sign`, `Underline`, etc.) and the severity (e.g.
`Error`, `Warn`, etc.)

By default, highlights for signs, floating windows, and virtual text are linked to the
corresponding default highlight. Underline highlights are not linked and use their
own default highlight groups.

For example, the default highlighting for |hl-DiagnosticSignError| is linked
to |hl-DiagnosticError|. To change the default (and therefore the linked
highlights), use the |:highlight| command: >vim

    highlight DiagnosticError guifg="BrightRed"
<

SIGNS                                                   *diagnostic-signs*

Signs are defined for each diagnostic severity. The default text for each sign
is the first letter of the severity name (for example, "E" for ERROR). Signs
can be customized with |vim.diagnostic.config()|. Example: >lua

    -- Highlight entire line for errors
    -- Highlight the line number for warnings
    vim.diagnostic.config({
        signs = {
            text = {
                [vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR] = '',
                [vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN] = '',
            },
            linehl = {
                [vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR] = 'ErrorMsg',
            },
            numhl = {
                [vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN] = 'WarningMsg',
            },
        },
    })

When the "severity_sort" option is set (see |vim.diagnostic.config()|) the
priority of each sign depends on the severity of the associated diagnostic.
Otherwise, all signs have the same priority (the value of the "priority"
option in the "signs" table of |vim.diagnostic.config()| or 10 if unset).

EVENTS                                                  *diagnostic-events*

                                                        *DiagnosticChanged*
DiagnosticChanged       After diagnostics have changed. When used from Lua,
                        the new diagnostics are passed to the autocmd
                        callback in the "data" table. Triggered per buffer.

Example: >lua

    vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('DiagnosticChanged', {
      callback = function(args)
        local diagnostics = args.data.diagnostics
        vim.print(diagnostics)

                                                        *diagnostic-structure*

    Diagnostics use the same indexing as the rest of the Nvim API (i.e.
    0-based rows and columns). |api-indexing|

    Fields: ~
      • {bufnr}?      (`integer`) Buffer number
      • {lnum}        (`integer`) The starting line of the diagnostic
                      (0-indexed)
      • {end_lnum}?   (`integer`) The final line of the diagnostic (0-indexed)
      • {col}         (`integer`) The starting column of the diagnostic
                      (0-indexed)
      • {end_col}?    (`integer`) The final column of the diagnostic
                      (0-indexed)
      • {severity}?   (`vim.diagnostic.Severity`) The severity of the
                      diagnostic |vim.diagnostic.severity|
      • {message}     (`string`) The diagnostic text
      • {source}?     (`string`) The source of the diagnostic
      • {code}?       (`string|integer`) The diagnostic code
      • {user_data}?  (`any`) arbitrary data plugins can add
      • {namespace}?  (`integer`)

*vim.diagnostic.GetOpts*
    A table with the following keys:

    Fields: ~
      • {namespace}?  (`integer[]|integer`) Limit diagnostics to one or more
                      namespaces.
      • {lnum}?       (`integer`) Limit diagnostics to those spanning the
                      specified line number.
      • {severity}?   (`vim.diagnostic.SeverityFilter`) See
                      |diagnostic-severity|.

*vim.diagnostic.JumpOpts*
    Extends: |vim.diagnostic.GetOpts|

    Configuration table with the keys listed below. Some parameters can have
    their default values changed with |vim.diagnostic.config()|.

    Fields: ~
      • {diagnostic}?  (`vim.Diagnostic`) The diagnostic to jump to. Mutually
                       exclusive with {count}, {namespace}, and {severity}.
                       See |vim.Diagnostic|.
      • {count}?       (`integer`) The number of diagnostics to move by,
                       starting from {pos}. A positive integer moves forward
                       by {count} diagnostics, while a negative integer moves
                       backward by {count} diagnostics. Mutually exclusive
                       with {diagnostic}.
      • {pos}?         (`[integer,integer]`) Cursor position as a `(row, col)`
                       tuple. See |nvim_win_get_cursor()|. Used to find the
                       nearest diagnostic when {count} is used. Only used when
                       {count} is non-nil. Default is the current cursor
                       position.
      • {wrap}?        (`boolean`, default: `true`) Whether to loop around
                       file or not. Similar to 'wrapscan'.
      • {severity}?    (`vim.diagnostic.SeverityFilter`) See
                       |diagnostic-severity|.
      • {float}?       (`boolean|vim.diagnostic.Opts.Float`, default: `false`)
                       If `true`, call |vim.diagnostic.open_float()| after
                       moving. If a table, pass the table as the {opts}
                       parameter to |vim.diagnostic.open_float()|. Unless
                       overridden, the float will show diagnostics at the new
                       cursor position (as if "cursor" were passed to the
                       "scope" option).

                          current cursor position (`cursor`). Shorthand
                          versions are also accepted (`c` for `cursor`, `l`
                          for `line`, `b` for `buffer`).

                          number; otherwise, a (row, col) tuple.
      • {severity_sort}?  (`boolean|{reverse?:boolean}`, default: `false`)
                          Sort diagnostics by severity. Overrides the setting
                          from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
      • {severity}?       (`vim.diagnostic.SeverityFilter`) See
                          |diagnostic-severity|. Overrides the setting from
                          |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
      • {header}?         (`string|[string,any]`) String to use as the header
                          for the floating window. If a table, it is
                          interpreted as a `[text, hl_group]` tuple. Overrides
                          the setting from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
      • {source}?         (`boolean|'if_many'`) Include the diagnostic source
                          in the message. Use "if_many" to only show sources
                          if there is more than one source of diagnostics in
                          the buffer. Otherwise, any truthy value means to
                          always show the diagnostic source. Overrides the
                          setting from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
      • {format}?         (`fun(diagnostic:vim.Diagnostic): string?`) A
                          function that takes a diagnostic as input and
                          returns a string or nil. If the return value is nil,
                          the diagnostic is not displayed by the handler. Else
                          the output text is used to display the diagnostic.
                          Overrides the setting from

      • {prefix}?         (`string|table|(fun(diagnostic:vim.Diagnostic,i:integer,total:integer): string, string)`)
                          Prefix each diagnostic in the floating window:
                          • If a `function`, {i} is the index of the
                            diagnostic being evaluated and {total} is the

                            window. The function should return a `string`
                            which is prepended to each diagnostic in the
                            window as well as an (optional) highlight group
                            which will be used to highlight the prefix.
                          • If a `table`, it is interpreted as a
                            `[text, hl_group]` tuple as in |nvim_echo()|
                          • If a `string`, it is prepended to each diagnostic
                            in the window with no highlight. Overrides the
                            setting from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
      • {suffix}?         (`string|table|(fun(diagnostic:vim.Diagnostic,i:integer,total:integer): string, string)`)
                          Same as {prefix}, but appends the text to the
                          diagnostic instead of prepending it. Overrides the
                          setting from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
      • {focus_id}?       (`string`)
      • {border}?         (`string`) see |nvim_open_win()|.

                     signs use the same priority.
      • {text}?      (`table<vim.diagnostic.Severity,string>`) A table mapping
                     |diagnostic-severity| to the sign text to display in the

                         function that takes a diagnostic as input and returns
                         a string or nil. If the return value is nil, the
                         diagnostic is not displayed by the handler. Else the
                         output text is used to display the diagnostic.

config({opts}, {namespace})                          *vim.diagnostic.config()*
    Configure diagnostic options globally or for a specific diagnostic
    namespace.

    Configuration can be specified globally, per-namespace, or ephemerally
    (i.e. only for a single call to |vim.diagnostic.set()| or
    |vim.diagnostic.show()|). Ephemeral configuration has highest priority,
    followed by namespace configuration, and finally global configuration.

    For example, if a user enables virtual text globally with >lua
        vim.diagnostic.config({ virtual_text = true })
<

    and a diagnostic producer sets diagnostics with >lua
        vim.diagnostic.set(ns, 0, diagnostics, { virtual_text = false })
<

    then virtual text will not be enabled for those diagnostics.

    Parameters: ~
      • {opts}       (`vim.diagnostic.Opts?`) When omitted or `nil`, retrieve
                     the current configuration. Otherwise, a configuration
                     table (see |vim.diagnostic.Opts|).
      • {namespace}  (`integer?`) Update the options for the given namespace.
                     When omitted, update the global diagnostic options.

    Return: ~
        (`vim.diagnostic.Opts?`) Current diagnostic config if {opts} is
        omitted. See |vim.diagnostic.Opts|.

hide({namespace}, {bufnr})                             *vim.diagnostic.hide()*
    Hide currently displayed diagnostics.

    This only clears the decorations displayed in the buffer. Diagnostics can
    be redisplayed with |vim.diagnostic.show()|. To completely remove
    diagnostics, use |vim.diagnostic.reset()|.

    To hide diagnostics and prevent them from re-displaying, use
    |vim.diagnostic.enable()|.

    Parameters: ~
      • {namespace}  (`integer?`) Diagnostic namespace. When omitted, hide
                     diagnostics from all namespaces.
      • {bufnr}      (`integer?`) Buffer number, or 0 for current buffer. When
                     omitted, hide diagnostics in all buffers.

is_enabled({filter})                             *vim.diagnostic.is_enabled()*
    Check whether diagnostics are enabled.

    Attributes: ~
        Since: 0.10.0

    Parameters: ~
      • {filter}  (`table?`) Optional filters |kwargs|, or `nil` for all.
                  • {ns_id}? (`integer`) Diagnostic namespace, or `nil` for
                    all.
                  • {bufnr}? (`integer`) Buffer number, or 0 for current
                    buffer, or `nil` for all buffers.

    Return: ~
        (`boolean`)

jump({opts})                                           *vim.diagnostic.jump()*
    Move to a diagnostic.

    Parameters: ~
      • {opts}  (`vim.diagnostic.JumpOpts`) See |vim.diagnostic.JumpOpts|.

    Return: ~
        (`vim.Diagnostic?`) The diagnostic that was moved to. See
        |vim.Diagnostic|.

                                                      *vim.diagnostic.match()*
match({str}, {pat}, {groups}, {severity_map}, {defaults})
    Parse a diagnostic from a string.

    For example, consider a line of output from a linter: >
        WARNING filename:27:3: Variable 'foo' does not exist
<

    This can be parsed into |vim.Diagnostic| structure with: >lua
        local s = "WARNING filename:27:3: Variable 'foo' does not exist"
        local pattern = "^(%w+) %w+:(%d+):(%d+): (.+)$"
        local groups = { "severity", "lnum", "col", "message" }
        vim.diagnostic.match(s, pattern, groups, { WARNING = vim.diagnostic.WARN })
<

    Parameters: ~
      • {str}           (`string`) String to parse diagnostics from.
      • {pat}           (`string`) Lua pattern with capture groups.
      • {groups}        (`string[]`) List of fields in a |vim.Diagnostic|
                        structure to associate with captures from {pat}.
      • {severity_map}  (`table`) A table mapping the severity field from
                        {groups} with an item from |vim.diagnostic.severity|.
      • {defaults}      (`table?`) Table of default values for any fields not
                        listed in {groups}. When omitted, numeric values
                        default to 0 and "severity" defaults to ERROR.

    Return: ~
        (`vim.Diagnostic?`) |vim.Diagnostic| structure or `nil` if {pat} fails
        to match {str}.

        (`integer?`) winid

reset({namespace}, {bufnr})                           *vim.diagnostic.reset()*
    Remove all diagnostics from the given namespace.

    Unlike |vim.diagnostic.hide()|, this function removes all saved
    diagnostics. They cannot be redisplayed using |vim.diagnostic.show()|. To
    simply remove diagnostic decorations in a way that they can be
    re-displayed, use |vim.diagnostic.hide()|.

                     diagnostics from all namespaces.
      • {bufnr}      (`integer?`) Remove diagnostics for the given buffer.
                     When omitted, diagnostics are removed for all buffers.

set({namespace}, {bufnr}, {diagnostics}, {opts})        *vim.diagnostic.set()*

                  namespace.
                • {winnr}? (`integer`, default: `0`) Window number to set
                  location list for.
                • {open}? (`boolean`, default: `true`) Open the location list
                  after setting.
                • {title}? (`string`) Title of the location list. Defaults to

                  after setting.
                • {title}? (`string`) Title of quickfix list. Defaults to
                  "Diagnostics". If there's already a quickfix list with this
                  title, it's updated. If not, a new quickfix list is created.
                • {severity}? (`vim.diagnostic.SeverityFilter`) See
                  |diagnostic-severity|.

                       list of diagnostics without saving them or to display
                       only a subset of diagnostics. May not be used when
                       {namespace} or {bufnr} is nil. See |vim.Diagnostic|.
      • {opts}         (`vim.diagnostic.Opts?`) Display options. See
