Could you share an example of a workflow using the built in feature to run tests in Vim?
Sure, here's a recorded example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUeousvp4PQ

Interesting approach! Can you share more about this?
Rather than write something up or linking to a bunch of articles I recorded a quick screen capture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUeousvp4PQ
For the longest time I've been using vims built-in `compiler` feature with tartansandal/vim-compiler-pytest combined tpope/vim-dispatch

Reviewing these conversations is like listening to horse and buggy manufacturers pooh-poohing automobiles:
1. they will scare the horses. a good team of horses is no match for funky 'automobile'
2. how will they be able to deal with our muddy, messy roads
3. their engines are unreliable and prone to breaking down stranding you in the middle and having to do it yourself..
4. their drivers cant handle the speed, too many miles driven means unsafe driving.. we should stick to horses they are manageable.
Meanwhile I'm watching a community of mostly young people building and using tools like copilot, cursor, replit, jacob etc and wiring up LLMs into increasingly more complex workflows.
this is snapshot of the current state, not a reflection of the future- Give it 10 years

And yet, I don't see much evidence that software quality is improving, if anything it seems in rapid decline.

Tree-sitter is really powerful, but it's worth people learning a few methods they prefer to use because there are going to be situations where one method works better than another. Things I have found useful in the past include
- perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g' files
"-pi" means "in place edit" so it will change the files in place. If you have a purely mechanical change like he's doing here it's a very reasonable choice. If you're not as much of a cowboy as I am, you can specify a suffix and it will back the files up, so something like
perl -p -i.bak -e 's/db/database/g'
pyFor example then all your original '.py' files will be copied to '.py.bak' and the new renamed versions will be '.py'
For vim users (I know emacs has the same thing but I don't remember the exact invocation because it has been >20years since I used emacs as my main editor) it's worth knowing the "global" command. So you can execute a particular command only on lines that match some regex. So say you want to delete all the lines which mention cheese
:%g/cheese/d
Say you want to replace "db" with "database" but only on lines which start with "def"
:%g/^def/s/db/database/
OK cool. Now if you go 'vim *py' you can do ":argdo g/^def/s/db/database/ | update" and it will perform that global command across all the files in the arg list and save the ones which have changed.
Author here: I'm super familiar with this kind of find and replace syntax inside vim or with sed. Usually it works great!
But in this specific situation it was tricky to handle situations with things spanning over multiple lines + preventing accidental renames.

These sorts of cases are why I wrote srgn [0]. It's based on tree-sitter too. Calling it as
cat file.py | srgn --py def --py identifiers 'database' 'db'
An input like
import database
import pytest
@pytest.fixture()
def test_a(database):
return database
def test_b(database):
return database
database = "database"
class database:
pass
import database
import pytest
@pytest.fixture()
def test_a(db):
return db
def test_b(db):
return db
database = "database"
class database:
pass
Note: I just wrote this, and version 0.13.2 is required for the above to work.
This is super cool! I wish I'd known about this.

I wonder if the author has ever heard something called an IDE?
Author here, I'm not aware of any IDE that can do this specific refactor
To add some balance to everyone slating Jinja in the comments, I've personally found it great to use.
Sure you CAN write unmaintainable business logic spaghetti in your templates, doesn't mean you SHOULD (Most criticism appears to come from this angle).

Mozilla forever determined to do anything but actually improve their core product.
I know it's opt-in, but nobody is going to switch to a browser because they ship this kinda stuff.
The defaults it ships out of the box makes the shell actually usable. Unsure I could ever go back to a regular bash/zsh prompt.
A lot of people will tell you this is slow and you've got to use X,Y,Z instead. If you're new, I'd strongly recommend just sticking with this, it's much easier to configure.
