Problem: Cannot specify directory or environment for a job.
Solution: Add the "cwd" and "env" arguments to job options. (Yasuhiro
Matsumoto, closes#1160)
Problem: Cannot automaticlaly close a terminal window when the job ends.
Solution: Add the ++close argument to :term. Add the term_finish option to
term_start(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes#1950) Also add
++open.
Problem: There may be side effects when a channel appends to a buffer that
is not the current buffer.
Solution: Properly switch to another buffer before appending. (Yasuhiro
Matsumoto, closes#1926, closes#1937)
Problem: Crash when job exit callback wipes the terminal.
Solution: Check for b_term to be NULL. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes#1922)
Implement options for term_start() to be able to test.
Make term_wait() more reliable.
Problem: Cannot get the name of the pty of a job.
Solution: Add the "tty" entry to the job info. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes#1920)
Add the term_gettty() function.
Problem: Options of a buffer for a terminal window are not set properly.
Solution: Add "terminal" value for 'buftype'. Make 'buftype' and
'bufhidden' not depend on the quickfix feature.
Also set the buffer name and show "running" or "finished" in the
window title.
Problem: Not easy to start Vim cleanly without changing the viminfo file.
Not possible to know whether the -i command line flag was used.
Solution: Add the --clean command line argument. Add the 'viminfofile'
option. Add "-u DEFAULTS".
Problem: If a job writes to a buffer and the user is typing a command, the
screen isn't updated. When a message is displayed the changed
buffer may cause it to be cleared. (Ramel Eshed)
Solution: Update the screen and then the command line if the screen didn't
scroll. Avoid inserting screen lines, as it clears any message.
Update the status line when the buffer changed.
Problem: job_stop() often assumes the channel will be closed, while the job
may not actually be stopped. (Martin Gammelsæter)
Solution: Only assume the job stops on "kill". Don't send a signal if the
job has already ended. (closes#1632)
Problem: When a json message arrives in pieces, the start is dropped and
the decoding fails.
Solution: Do not drop the start when it is still needed. (Kay Zheng) Add a
test. Reset the timeout when something is received.
Problem: JSON with a duplicate key gives an internal error. (Lcd)
Solution: Give a normal error. Avoid an error when parsing JSON from a
remote client fails.
Problem: When reading channel output in a timer, messages may go missing.
(Skywind)
Solution: Add the "drop" option. Write error messages in the channel log.
Don't have ch_canread() check for the channel being open.
Problem: When using ch_read() with zero timeout, can't tell the difference
between reading an empty line and nothing available.
Solution: Add ch_canread().
Problem: When a channel callback consumes a lot of time Vim becomes
unresponsive. (skywind)
Solution: Bail out of checking channel readahead after 100 msec.
Problem: When the channel callback gets job info the job may already have
been deleted. (lifepillar)
Solution: Do not delete the job when the channel is still useful. (ichizok,
closes#1242, closes#1245)
Problem: An exiting job is detected with a large latency.
Solution: Check for pending job more often. (Ozaki Kiichi) Change the
double loop in mch_inchar() into one.
