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

==============================================================================
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).

Nvim provides these handlers by default: "virtual_text", "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
      }
    })
<
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-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.

Example: >lua

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

    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

                       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).

      • {disabled}?  (`boolean`)

*vim.diagnostic.Opts*
    Many of the configuration options below accept one of the following:
    • `false`: Disable this feature
    • `true`: Enable this feature, use default settings.
    • `table`: Enable this feature with overrides. Use an empty table to use
      default values.
    • `function`: Function with signature (namespace, bufnr) that returns any
      of the above.

    Fields: ~
      • {underline}?         (`boolean|vim.diagnostic.Opts.Underline|fun(namespace: integer, bufnr:integer): vim.diagnostic.Opts.Underline`, default: `true`)
                             Use underline for diagnostics.
      • {virtual_text}?      (`boolean|vim.diagnostic.Opts.VirtualText|fun(namespace: integer, bufnr:integer): vim.diagnostic.Opts.VirtualText`, default: `true`)
                             Use virtual text for diagnostics. If multiple
                             diagnostics are set for a namespace, one prefix
                             per diagnostic + the last diagnostic message are
                             shown.

      • {update_in_insert}?  (`boolean`, default: `false`) Update diagnostics
                             in Insert mode (if `false`, diagnostics are

                             highlights are displayed. When true, higher
                             severities are displayed before lower severities
                             (e.g. ERROR is displayed before WARN). Options:

      • {bufnr}?          (`integer`, default: current buffer) Buffer number
                          to show diagnostics from.
      • {namespace}?      (`integer`) Limit diagnostics to the given namespace
      • {scope}?          (`'line'|'buffer'|'cursor'|'c'|'l'|'b'`, default:
                          `line`) Show diagnostics from the whole buffer
                          (`buffer"`, the current cursor line (`line`), or the
                          current cursor position (`cursor`). Shorthand
                          versions are also accepted (`c` for `cursor`, `l`
                          for `line`, `b` for `buffer`).
      • {pos}?            (`integer|[integer,integer]`) If {scope} is "line"
                          or "cursor", use this position rather than the
                          cursor position. If a number, interpreted as a line
                          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

      • {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. The return value is the text used
                          to display the diagnostic. Overrides the setting
                          from |vim.diagnostic.config()|.

                          Prefix each diagnostic in the floating window:
                          • If a `function`, {i} is the index of the
                            diagnostic being evaluated and {total} is the
                            total number of diagnostics displayed in 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()|.

                     for diagnostics matching the given severity
                     |diagnostic-severity|
      • {priority}?  (`integer`, default: `10`) Base priority to use for
                     signs. When {severity_sort} is used, the priority of a
                     sign is adjusted based on its severity. Otherwise, all
                     signs use the same priority.
      • {text}?      (`table<vim.diagnostic.Severity,string>`) A table mapping
                     |diagnostic-severity| to the sign text to display in the
                     sign column. The default is to use `"E"`, `"W"`, `"I"`,
                     and `"H"` for errors, warnings, information, and hints,
                     respectively. Example: >lua
                         vim.diagnostic.config({
                           signs = { text = { [vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR] = 'E', ... } }
                         })
<
      • {numhl}?     (`table<vim.diagnostic.Severity,string>`) A table mapping
                     |diagnostic-severity| to the highlight group used for the
                     line number where the sign is placed.
      • {linehl}?    (`table<vim.diagnostic.Severity,string>`) A table mapping
                     |diagnostic-severity| to the highlight group used for the
                     whole line the sign is placed in.

*vim.diagnostic.Opts.Underline*

    Fields: ~
      • {severity}?  (`vim.diagnostic.SeverityFilter`) Only underline
                     diagnostics matching the given severity

                              diagnostic source in the buffer. Otherwise, any
                              truthy value means to always show the diagnostic
                              source.
      • {spacing}?            (`integer`) Amount of empty spaces inserted at
                              the beginning of the virtual text.

                              Prepend diagnostic message with prefix. If a
                              `function`, {i} is the index of the diagnostic

      • {format}?             (`fun(diagnostic:vim.Diagnostic): string`) The
                              return value is the text used to display the
                              diagnostic. Example: >lua

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

                |vim.diagnostic.Opts.Float|.

    Return (multiple): ~
        (`integer?`) float_bufnr
        (`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()|.

    Parameters: ~
      • {namespace}  (`integer?`) Diagnostic namespace. When omitted, remove
                     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()*
    Set diagnostics for the given namespace and buffer.

    Parameters: ~
      • {namespace}    (`integer`) The diagnostic namespace
      • {bufnr}        (`integer`) Buffer number
      • {diagnostics}  (`vim.Diagnostic[]`) See |vim.Diagnostic|.
      • {opts}         (`vim.diagnostic.Opts?`) Display options to pass to
                       |vim.diagnostic.show()|. See |vim.diagnostic.Opts|.

setloclist({opts})                               *vim.diagnostic.setloclist()*
    Add buffer diagnostics to the location list.

    Parameters: ~
      • {opts}  (`table?`) Configuration table with the following keys:
                • {namespace}? (`integer`) Only add diagnostics from the given
                  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
                  "Diagnostics".
                • {severity}? (`vim.diagnostic.SeverityFilter`) See
                  |diagnostic-severity|.

setqflist({opts})                                 *vim.diagnostic.setqflist()*
    Add all diagnostics to the quickfix list.

    Parameters: ~
      • {opts}  (`table?`) Configuration table with the following keys:
                • {namespace}? (`integer`) Only add diagnostics from the given
                  namespace.
                • {open}? (`boolean`, default: `true`) Open quickfix list
                  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|.

                                                       *vim.diagnostic.show()*
show({namespace}, {bufnr}, {diagnostics}, {opts})
    Display diagnostics for the given namespace and buffer.

    Parameters: ~
      • {namespace}    (`integer?`) Diagnostic namespace. When omitted, show
                       diagnostics from all namespaces.
      • {bufnr}        (`integer?`) Buffer number, or 0 for current buffer.
                       When omitted, show diagnostics in all buffers.
      • {diagnostics}  (`vim.Diagnostic[]?`) The diagnostics to display. When
                       omitted, use the saved diagnostics for the given
                       namespace and buffer. This can be used to display a
                       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
                       |vim.diagnostic.Opts|.

toqflist({diagnostics})                            *vim.diagnostic.toqflist()*
    Convert a list of diagnostics to a list of quickfix items that can be
    passed to |setqflist()| or |setloclist()|.

    Parameters: ~
      • {diagnostics}  (`vim.Diagnostic[]`) See |vim.Diagnostic|.

    Return: ~
        (`table[]`) Quickfix list items |setqflist-what|
