CMake Tools

🔥CMake Tools for Neovim which is written in pure lua.🔥

CREDIT:

It is a fork from the brilliant neovim-cmake. Since I change too much of it, So I make a new repo to develop it.

The goal of this plugin is to offer a comprehensive, convenient, and powerful workflow for CMake-based projects in Neovim, comparable to the functionality provided by vscode-cmake-tools for Visual Studio Code.

✨ Installation

Require Neovim (>=0.7).
Require plenary.
Allow integerating with overseer, optional, if you want this feature, please install it firstly.
Allow integerating with toggleterm, optional, if you want this feature, please install it firstly.
Install it like any other Neovim plugin.
- lazy.nvim: return { 'Civitasv/cmake-tools.nvim' }
- packer.nvim: use 'Civitasv/cmake-tools.nvim'
- vim-plug: Plug 'Civitasv/cmake-tools.nvim'

  },
  cmake_virtual_text_support = true, -- Show the target related to current file using virtual text (at right corner)
}

Generally, the default is enough.

And attention, when you firstly enter a new project, a session file for this project will be created, and cmake_generate_options, cmake_build_options, cmake_build_directory in your configuration will be used to initialize some fields of it. Then, if you reopen this project, it will reuse this session file to initialize these fields, or, you can think this project has its own settings, so if you change the values in global configuration, it will not reflect on these projects, you should refresh these fields by your own. Also see session docs and issue #162.

🪄 Docs

Our plugin will automatically create a buffer named *cmake-tools*, all commands executed by this plugin will be dumped in this buffer, so when something goes wrong, you can know excatly what happend.

💪 Contribute

If you want to implement a missing feature, consider making a PR.

Optionally you can even add tests. We use plenary test harness, as taken from neotest-rust. The tests run from inside a neovim instance, so vim and such are available.
