fail to test if base dir is not in workspace folder

[y1rn]

as subject. if vim base dir is parent of workspace path. test doesn't work. neovim lsp can get workspaceFolder path

+1 For gradle tests it is also not possible to override -p option. e.g.:

:TestFile -p path/to/project

doesn't work. The only options is to cd to workspace before running any tests

changing directory into the sub-directory causes other plugins to start misbehaving, so I have to cd into the subdirectory then cd back up - which takes away the convenience somewhat :slightly_smiling_face: - does anyone know of a fix/workaround?

Perhaps supporting a test#subdirectory option or something?

[gagara]

In fact there is a test#project_root for this purpose. (see https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test#working-directory). It would be good to have some autocmd which will update it once you switch between projects.

oh nice! autcmd would be possible without any additional modifications to this plugin I would imagine.

With coc.nvim (plugin which I use to navigate projects) following works for me:

autocmd BufEnter * :call SetVimtestProjectRoot(expand('%:p'))
function! SetVimtestProjectRoot(file)
	if exists("g:WorkspaceFolders")
		for f in g:WorkspaceFolders
			if match(a:file, f, 0) == 0 | let g:test#project_root = f | return | endif
		endfor
	endif
endfunction
