Missing expansions for makeprg and grepprg
Summary: I have some makeprg's that use vim % expansions. I want both :make and :AsyncRun to work consistently. As such I want to continue to use the % style macros. I would like for asyncrun.vim to support makeprg and grepprg that contain % expansions.
When I use :AsyncRun -program=make, I expect the same output as :make, but instead I get, for example package not found %:h. This is because asyncrun#run does not expand % macros.
I have found a partial solution to the same general problem in https://github.com/timbertson/vim-background-make/commit/404905fdf87d00ef05ce72e106cf485d1ed23f3f
I have also locally applied a less complete patch as follows, which covers only my use case (no escaped expansions in my makeprgs), that could also be used as a possible approach: https://gist.github.com/raggi/3bcbb18183be138f3b24718891921d9b
An example of a makeprg I would like to work:
setlocal makeprg=go\ build\ ./%:h;echo\ package\ %:h;echo;go\ test\ ./%:h
And the corresponding errorformat, demonstrating usage:
setlocal errorformat=
\%E%f:%l::%tarning:\ %m,
\%E%f:%l:%c:%tarning:\ %m,
\%E%f:%l::%trror:\ %m,
\%E%f:%l:%c:%trror:\ %m,
\%E%f:%l:\ %m,
\%Dpackage\ %f,
\%E---\ FAIL:\ %m,
\%C%f:%l:\ %m
If you would like me to prepare a patch, let me know what your preferred approach will be, and I will add this to my TODO list.
Thanks!
Your patch is incorrect, "%" will be expanded automatically by vim in the command line when you press ENTER and before passing to your User Command.
It will be expanded twice in your patch (firstly by vim, secondly by StringReplace).
It must be implemented very carefully by parsing "%" in &makeprg directly.
I demonstrated otherwise. I wouldn't have been here if it worked! :-)
