'normal' doesn't trigger TextChangedI

[Jason Felice]

at least?  It might not trigger InsertEnter either.

I want to write tests for my plugin, so is there a better way to simulate normal input? 

Thanks,

-Jason

Try feedkeys()

Best,

AFAIK InsertEnter is triggered also when using a :normal command.

You can use feedkeys().

I couldn't get feedkeys() to trigger TextChangedI either, so I've rewritten my tests to use a terminal with small delays between keystrokes, and this works.

Thanks!

I have the same problem (writing tests for a plugin that uses
TextChangedI, but TextChangedI doesn't seem to be triggered when using
feedkeys()). Would you mind showing an example of how you write a test
to work around that?

Thanks,
Life.

https://github.com/eraserhd/parinfer-rust/blob/master/tests/run.vim#L40-L65 is the interesting bit.

Also try using:
        call test_override("char_avail", 1)

That does it!

I was just studying Test_edit_CTRL_L(), which seems to test TextChangedI
with feedkeys(), to see how that test can pass, and noticed the call to
test_override(). It was not obvious to me that char_avail would be
related to event triggering.

Thanks,
Life

Thanks, cool hack! But read Bram's reply about test_override(), which
makes this workaround unnecessary.
