Based on Ben Klein's book The VimL Primer: Edit Like a Pro with Vim Plugins and Scripts I started to write this plugin and I want to go through it, explain it, what future plans he has and how it was tested.

3. Vimscript is called nowadays VimL is a dynamic imperative language: variables, expressions, control structures, built-in functions, user-defined functions, data structures, File I/O, regex pattern matching
4. echom echo returns echo of expressions and saves them in message-history (:messages) good for debugging
5. split :split … transforms string into a list (by default it takes whitespace but you can specifiy the second parameter as a own defined delimeter)
6. split examples :echo split("Hello Vimmers at Vimberlin") :echo split("Hello Vimmers at Vimberlin", "m")
7. system :system() … get the output of a shell command as a string
8. system example let banshee = "banshee --query-album --query-artist" let playlist = split(system(banshee), '\n') echom string(playlist)
9. append, line append(line, text) … appends the text to a buffer after a certain line in the file line(number) … takes the file position and returns the line number of that position in the current file
10. list, for loop list: ordered sequence of items for loops: for item in list
11. examples let playlist = ['Vim' , 'Berlin', 'rockt'] for track in playlist call append(line('$'), track) endfor :echo line('w$') 33G ma :echo line("'a")
12. bufexists, bufnr bufexists({expr}) … result is a number, which is non-zero if the buffer exists bufnr({expr}) … result is the number of a buffer (displayed by the :ls command
13. exec exec … takes a string and executes it as an Ex command
14. custom filetypes put them into ftdetect directory for your custom file types
15. examples filetype autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.playlist set filetype=playlist
16. echohl echohl … use the highlight group for the following echo
17. example echohl :echohl WarningMsg | echo "Don't panic!" | echohl None
18. command command[!] [{attr}…] {cmd} {rep} … define a user command. The name of the command is {cmd} and its replacement text is {rep}. The ! can be used to overwrite any preexisting commands.
19. command example if(!exists(':BansheeNext')) command! BansheeNext call banshee#PlayNextSong() endif
20. Testing Using vimvader no dependencies easy to setup
21. Create Test environment └── test ├── banshee.vader ├── run └── fixtures ├── crystals.mp3 └── focus.mp3
22. Isolated test environment #!/bin/bash banshee --play-enqued fixtures/crystals.mp3 fixtures/focus.mp3 & vim -Nu <(cat << EOF filetype off set rtp+=~/.vim/plugged/vader.vim set rtp+=~/.vim/plugged/vim-banshee filetype plugin indent on syntax enable EOF) +Vader*
23. Test file Execute (BansheeInfo display title, artist and album): !banshee --play redir => test BansheeInfo redir END AssertEqual get(split(test), 0), 'Crystals' AssertEqual get(split(test), 2), 'Professor' AssertEqual get(split(test), 3), 'Kliq' AssertEqual get(split(test), 5), 'Curriculum' AssertEqual get(split(test), 6), 'Vitae' Execute (:BansheeNext play the next song): ...
24. Run the tests :Vader or cd test && ./run
