+--- *mini.test* Test Neovim plugins
+---
+--- MIT License Copyright (c) 2022 Evgeni Chasnovski
+
+--- Features:
+--- - Test action is defined as a named callable entry of a table.
+---
+--- - Helper for creating child Neovim process which is designed to be used in
+---   tests (including taking and verifying screenshots). See
+---   |MiniTest.new_child_neovim()| and |MiniTest.expect.reference_screenshot()|.
+---
+--- - Hierarchical organization of tests with custom hooks, parametrization,
+---   and user data. See |MiniTest.new_set()|.
+---
+--- - Emulation of [lunarmodules/busted](https://github.com/lunarmodules/busted)
+---   interface (`describe`, `it`, etc.).
+---
+--- - Predefined small yet usable set of expectations (`assert`-like functions).
+---   See |MiniTest.expect|.
+---
+--- - Customizable definition of what files should be tested.
+---
+--- - Test case filtering. There are predefined wrappers for testing a file
+---   (|MiniTest.run_file()|) and case at a location like current cursor position
+---   (|MiniTest.run_at_location()|).
+---
+--- - Customizable reporter of output results. There are two predefined ones:
+---     - |MiniTest.gen_reporter.buffer()| for interactive usage.
+---     - |MiniTest.gen_reporter.stdout()| for headless Neovim.
+---
+--- - Customizable project specific testing script.
+---
+--- - Works on Unix (Linux, MacOS, etc.) and Windows.
+---
+--- What it doesn't support:
+--- - Parallel execution. Due to idea of limiting implementation complexity.
+---
+--- - Mocks, stubs, etc. Use child Neovim process and manually override what is
+---   needed. Reset child process it afterwards.
+---
+--- - "Overly specific" expectations. Tests for (no) equality and (absence of)
+---   errors usually cover most of the needs. Adding new expectations is a
+---   subject to weighing its usefulness against additional implementation
+---   complexity. Use |MiniTest.new_expectation()| to create custom ones.
+---
+--- For more information see:
+--- - 'TESTING.md' file for a hands-on introduction based on examples.
+---
+--- - Code of this plugin's tests. Consider it to be an example of intended
+---   way to use 'mini.test' for test organization and creation.
+---
+--- # Workflow ~
+---
+--- - Organize tests in separate files. Each test file should return a test set
+---   (explicitly or implicitly by using "busted" style functions).
+---
+--- - Write test actions as callable entries of test set. Use child process
+---   inside test actions (see |MiniTest.new_child_neovim()|) and builtin
+---   expectations (see |MiniTest.expect|).
+---
+--- - Run tests. This does two steps:
+---     - *Collect*. This creates single hierarchical test set, flattens into
+---       array of test cases (see |MiniTest-test-case|) while expanding with
+---       parametrization, and possibly filters them.
+---     - *Execute*. This safely calls hooks and main test actions in specified
+---       order while allowing reporting progress in asynchronous fashion.
+---       Detected errors means test case fail; otherwise - pass.
+---
+--- # Setup ~
+---
+--- This module needs a setup with `require('mini.test').setup({})` (replace
+--- `{}` with your `config` table). It will create global Lua table `MiniTest`
+--- which you can use for scripting or manually (with `:lua MiniTest.*`).
+---
+--- See |MiniTest.config| for available config settings.
+---
+--- You can override runtime config settings locally to buffer inside
+--- `vim.b.minitest_config` which should have same structure as `MiniTest.config`.
+--- See |mini.nvim-buffer-local-config| for more details.
+---
+--- To stop module from showing non-error feedback, set `config.silent = true`.
+---
+--- # Comparisons ~
+---
+--- - Testing infrastructure from
+---   [nvim-lua/plenary.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-lua/plenary.nvim):
+---     - Executes each file in separate headless Neovim process with customizable
+---       'init.vim' file. While 'mini.test' executes everything in current
+---       Neovim process encouraging writing tests with help of manually
+---       managed child Neovim process (see |MiniTest.new_child_neovim()|).
+---     - Tests are expected to be written with embedded simplified versions of
+---       'lunarmodules/busted' and 'lunarmodules/luassert'. While 'mini.test'
+---       uses concepts of test set (see |MiniTest.new_set()|) and test case
+---       (see |MiniTest-test-case|). It also can emulate bigger part of
+---       "busted" framework.
+---     - Has single way of reporting progress (shows result after every case
+---       without summary). While 'mini.test' can have customized reporters
+---       with defaults for interactive and headless usage (provide more
+---       compact and user-friendly summaries).
+---     - Allows parallel execution, while 'mini.test' does not.
+---     - Allows making mocks, stubs, and spies, while 'mini.test' does not in
+---       favor of manually overwriting functionality in child Neovim process.
+---
+--- Although 'mini.test' supports emulation of "busted style" testing, it will
+--- be more stable to use its designed approach of defining tests (with
+--- `MiniTest.new_set()` and explicit table fields). Couple of reasons:
+--- - "Busted" syntax doesn't support full capabilities offered by 'mini.test'.
+---   Mainly it is about parametrization and supplying user data to test sets.
+--- - It is an emulation, not full support. So some subtle things might not
+---   work the way you expect.
+---
+--- Some hints for converting from 'plenary.nvim' tests to 'mini.test':
+--- - Rename files from "***_spec.lua" to "test_***.lua" and put them in
+---   "tests" directory.
+--- - Replace `assert` calls with 'mini.test' expectations. See |MiniTest.expect|.
+--- - Create main test set `T = MiniTest.new_set()` and eventually return it.
+--- - Make new sets (|MiniTest.new_set()|) from `describe` blocks. Convert
+---   `before_each()` and `after_each` to `pre_case` and `post_case` hooks.
+--- - Make test cases from `it` blocks.
+---
+--- # Highlight groups ~
+---
+--- - `MiniTestEmphasis` - emphasis highlighting. By default it is a bold text.
+--- - `MiniTestFail` - highlighting of failed cases. By default it is a bold
+---   text with `vim.g.terminal_color_1` color (red).
+--- - `MiniTestPass` - highlighting of passed cases. By default it is a bold
+---   text with `vim.g.terminal_color_2` color (green).
+---
+--- To change any highlight group, set it directly with |nvim_set_hl()|.
+---
+--- # Disabling ~
+---
+--- To disable, set `vim.g.minitest_disable` (globally) or `vim.b.minitest_disable`
+--- (for a buffer) to `true`. Considering high number of different scenarios
+--- and customization intentions, writing exact rules for disabling module's
+--- functionality is left to user. See |mini.nvim-disabling-recipes| for common
+--- recipes.
+---@tag MiniTest
+
+---@alias __test_expect_fail_reason - <fail_reason> `(string|function)` - reason for failing expectation.
+---     a function is called with expectation input and should return a string.
+---     Default: `nil` for default reason like "Failed expectation for ...".

+--- - <case> - currently executed test case. See |MiniTest-test-case|. Use it
+---   to customize execution output (like adding custom notes, etc).
+MiniTest.current = { all_cases = nil, case = nil }
+
+-- Module functionality =======================================================
+--- Create test set
+---
+--- Test set is one of the two fundamental data structures. It is a table that
+--- defines hierarchical test organization as opposed to sequential
+--- organization with |MiniTest-test-case|.
+---
+--- All its elements are one of three categories:
+--- - A callable (object that can be called; function or table with `__call`
+---   metatble entry) is considered to define a test action. It will be called
+---   with "current arguments" (result of all nested `parametrize` values, read
+---   further). If it throws error, test has failed.
+--- - A test set (output of this function) defines nested structure. Its
+---   options during collection (see |MiniTest.collect()|) will be extended
+---   with options of this (parent) test set.
+--- - Any other elements are considered helpers and don't directly participate
+---   in test structure.
+---
+--- Set options allow customization of test collection and execution (more
+--- details in `opts` description):
+--- - `hooks` - table with elements that will be called without arguments at
+---   predefined stages of test execution.
+--- - `parametrize` - array defining different arguments with which main test
+---   actions will be called. Any non-trivial parametrization will lead to
+---   every element (even nested) be "multiplied" and processed with every
+---   element of `parametrize`. This allows handling many different combination
+---   of tests with little effort.
+--- - `data` - table with user data that will be forwarded to cases. Primary
+---   objective is to be used for customized case filtering.
+---
+--- Notes:
+--- - Preferred way of adding elements is by using syntax `T[name] = element`.
+---   This way order of added elements will be preserved. Any other way won't
+---   guarantee any order.
+--- - Supplied options `opts` are stored in `opts` field of metatable
+---   (`getmetatable(set).opts`).
+---
+---@param opts table|nil Allowed options:
+---   - <hooks> - table with fields:
+---       - <pre_once> - executed before first filtered node.
+---       - <pre_case> - executed before each case (even nested).
+---       - <post_case> - executed after each case (even nested).
+---       - <post_once> - executed after last filtered node.
+---   - <parametrize> - array where each element is itself an array of
+---     parameters to be appended to "current parameters" of callable fields.
+---     Note: don't use plain `{}` as it is equivalent to "parametrization into
+---     zero cases", so no cases will be collected from this set. Calling test
+---     actions with no parameters is equivalent to `{{}}` or not supplying
+---     `parametrize` option at all.
+---   - <data> - user data to be forwarded to cases. Can be used for a more
+---     granular filtering.
+---   - <n_retry> - number of times to retry each case until success.
+---     Default: 1.
+---@param tbl table|nil Initial test items (possibly nested). Will be executed
+---   without any guarantees on order.
+---
+---@return table A single test set.
+---
+---@usage >lua
+---   -- Use with defaults
+---   T = MiniTest.new_set()
+---   T['works'] = function() MiniTest.expect.equality(1, 1) end

+---   -- will pass, second - fail after two attempts.

+
+--- Test case
+---
+--- An item of sequential test organization, as opposed to hierarchical with
+--- test set (see |MiniTest.new_set()|). It is created as result of test
+--- collection with |MiniTest.collect()| to represent all necessary information
+--- of test execution.
+---
+--- Execution of test case goes by the following rules:
+--- - Call functions in order:
+---     - All elements of `hooks.pre` from first to last without arguments.
+---     - Field `test` with arguments unpacked from `args`. If execution fails,
+---       retry it (along with hooks that come from `pre_case` and `post_case`)
+---       at most `n_retry` times until first success (if any).
+---     - All elements of `hooks.post` from first to last without arguments.
+--- - Error in any call gets appended to `exec.fails`, meaning error in any
+---   hook will lead to test fail.
+--- - State (`exec.state`) is changed before every call and after last call.
+---
+---@class Test-case
+---
+---@field args table Array of arguments with which `test` will be called.
+---@field data table User data: all fields of `opts.data` from nested test sets.
+---@field desc table Description: array of fields from nested test sets.
+---@field exec table|nil Information about test case execution. Value of `nil` means
+---   that this particular case was not (yet) executed. Has following fields:
+---   - <fails> - array of strings with failing information.
+---   - <notes> - array of strings with non-failing information.
+---   - <state> - state of test execution. One of:
+---       - 'Executing <name of what is being executed>' (during execution).
+---       - 'Pass' (no fails, no notes).
+---       - 'Pass with notes' (no fails, some notes).
+---       - 'Fail' (some fails, no notes).
+---       - 'Fail with notes' (some fails, some notes).
+---@field hooks table Hooks to be executed as part of test case. Has fields:
+---   - <pre> and <post> - arrays of functions to be consecutively executed
+---     before and after every execution of `test`.
+---   - <pre_source> and <post_source> - arrays of strings with sources of
+---     corresponding elements in <pre> and <post> arrays. Source is one of
+---     `"once"` (for `pre_once` and `post_once` hooks) and
+---     `"case"` (for `pre_case` and `post_case` hooks).

+
+--- Collect test cases
+---
+--- Overview of collection process:
+--- - If `opts.emulate_busted` is `true`, temporary make special global
+---   functions (removed at the end of collection). They can be used inside
+---   test files to create hierarchical structure of test cases.
+--- - Source each file from array output of `opts.find_files`. It should output
+---   a test set (see |MiniTest.new_set()|) or `nil` (if "busted" style is used;
+---   test set is created implicitly).
+--- - Combine all test sets into single set with fields equal to its file path.
+--- - Convert from hierarchical test configuration to sequential: from single
+---   test set to array of test cases (see |MiniTest-test-case|). Conversion is
+---   done in the form of "for every table element do: for every `parametrize`
+---   element do: ...". Details:
+---     - If element is a callable, construct test case with it being main
+---       `test` action. Description is appended with key of element in current
+---       test set table. Hooks, arguments, and data are taken from "current
+---       nested" ones. Add case to output array.
+---     - If element is a test set, process it in similar, recursive fashion.
+---       The "current nested" information is expanded:
+---         - `args` is extended with "current element" from `parametrize`.
+---         - `desc` is appended with element key.
+---         - `hooks` are appended to their appropriate places. `*_case` hooks
+---           will be inserted closer to all child cases than hooks from parent
+---           test sets: `pre_case` at end, `post_case` at start.
+---         - `data` is extended via |vim.tbl_deep_extend()|.
+---     - Any other element is not processed.
+--- - Filter array with `opts.filter_cases`. Note that input case doesn't contain
+---   all hooks, as `*_once` hooks will be added after filtration.
+--- - Add `*_once` hooks to appropriate cases.
+---
+---@param opts table|nil Options controlling case collection. Possible fields:
+---   - <emulate_busted> - whether to emulate 'lunarmodules/busted' interface.
+---     It emulates these global functions: `describe`, `it`, `setup`, `teardown`,
+---     `before_each`, `after_each`. Use |MiniTest.skip()| instead of `pending()`
+---     and |MiniTest.finally()| instead of `finally`.
+---   - <find_files> - function which when called without arguments returns
+---     array with file paths. Each file should be a Lua file returning single

+--- - Execute each case in natural array order (aligned with their integer

+--- Equality is tested via |vim.deep_equal()|. It also tries to compute more
+--- detailed cause for equality (for easier spotting the difference):
+--- - If they have different types.

+--- - For tables it shows a "key branch" at which values are different along with
+---   the actual values. A single difference is shown, there might be more.
+---   For not nested tables key branch is just a key. If the difference is inside

+MiniTest.gen_reporter = {}
+
+--- Generate buffer reporter
+---
+--- This is a default choice for interactive (not headless) usage. Opens a window
+--- with dedicated non-terminal buffer and updates it with throttled redraws.
+---
+--- Opened buffer has the following helpful Normal mode mappings:
+--- - `<Esc>` - stop test execution if executing (see |MiniTest.is_executing()|
+---   and |MiniTest.stop()|). Close window otherwise.
+--- - `q` - same as `<Esc>` for convenience and compatibility.
+---
+--- General idea:
+--- - Group cases by concatenating first `opts.group_depth` elements of case
+---   description (`desc` field). Groups by collected files if using default values.
+--- - In `start()` show some stats to know how much is scheduled to be executed.
+--- - In `update()` show symbolic overview of current group and state of current
+---   case. Each symbol represents one case and its state:
+---     - `?` - case didn't finish executing.
+---     - `o` - pass.
+---     - `O` - pass with notes.
+---     - `x` - fail.
+---     - `X` - fail with notes.
+--- - In `finish()` show all fails and notes ordered by case.
+---
+---@param opts table|nil Table with options. Used fields:
+---   - <group_depth> - number of first elements of case description (can be zero)
+---     used for grouping. Higher values mean higher granularity of output.
+---     Default: 1.
+---   - <throttle_delay> - minimum number of milliseconds to wait between
+---     redrawing. Reduces screen flickering but not amount of computations.
+---     Default: 10.
+---   - <window> - definition of window to open. Can take one of the forms:
+---       - Callable. It is called expecting output to be target window id
+---         (current window is used if output is `nil`). Use this to open in
+---         "normal" window (like `function() vim.cmd('vsplit') end`).
+---       - Table. Used as `config` argument in |nvim_open_win()|.
+---     Default: table for centered floating window.

+--- Child class
+---
+--- It offers a great set of tools to write reliable and reproducible tests by
+--- allowing to use fresh process in any test action. Interaction with it is done
+--- through |RPC| protocol.
+---
+--- Although quite flexible, at the moment it has certain limitations:
+--- - Doesn't allow using functions or userdata for child's both inputs and
+---   outputs. Usual solution is to move computations from current Neovim process
+---   to child process. Use `child.lua()` and `child.lua_get()` for that.
+--- - When writing tests, it is common to end up with "hanging" process: it
+---   stops executing without any output. Most of the time it is because Neovim
+---   process is "blocked", i.e. it waits for user input and won't return from
+---   other call (like `child.api.nvim_exec_lua()`). Common causes are active
+---   |hit-enter-prompt| (increase prompt height to a bigger value) or
+---   Operator-pending mode (exit it). To mitigate this experience, most helpers
+---   will throw an error if its immediate execution will lead to hanging state.
+---   Also in case of hanging state try `child.api_notify` instead of `child.api`.
+---
+--- Notes:
+--- - An important type of field is a "redirection table". It acts as a
+---   convenience wrapper for corresponding `vim.*` table. Can be used both to
+---   return and set values. Examples:
+---     - `child.api.nvim_buf_line_count(0)` will execute
+---       `vim.api.nvim_buf_line_count(0)` inside child process and return its
+---       output to current process.
+---     - `child.bo.filetype = 'lua'` will execute `vim.bo.filetype = 'lua'`
+---       inside child process.
+---   They still have same limitations listed above, so are not perfect. In
+---   case of a doubt, use `child.lua()`.
+--- - Almost all methods use |vim.rpcrequest()| (i.e. wait for call to finish and
+---   then return value). See for `*_notify` variant to use |vim.rpcnotify()|.
+--- - All fields and methods should be called with `.`, not `:`.

+---   `screenattr()` are coded with single character symbols. Those are taken from
+---   94 characters (ASCII codes between 33 and 126), so there will be duplicates
+---   in case of more than 94 different ways text is displayed on screen.
+---
+---@param opts table|nil Options. Possieble fields:
+---   - <redraw> `(boolean)` - whether to call |:redraw| prior to computing
+---     screenshot. Default: `true`.
+---
+---@return table|nil Screenshot table with the following fields:
+---   - <text> - "2d array" (row-column) of single characters displayed at
+---     particular cells.
+---   - <attr> - "2d array" (row-column) of symbols representing how text is
+---     displayed (basically, "coded" appearance/highlighting). They should be
+---     used only in relation to each other: same/different symbols for two
+---     cells mean same/different visual appearance. Note: there will be false
+---     positives if there are more than 94 different attribute values.
+---   It also can be used with `tostring()` to convert to single string (used
+---   for writing to reference file). It results into two visual parts
+---   (separated by empty line), for `text` and `attr`. Each part has "ruler"
+---   above content and line numbers for each line.
+---   Returns `nil` if couldn't get a reasonable screenshot.
