Reloading a Vim9 script clears functions and variables by default ~

When loading a legacy Vim script a second time nothing is removed, the

commands will replace existing variables and functions and create new ones.

|

When loading a Vim9 script a second time all existing script-local functions
|
||||
and variables are deleted, thus you start with a clean slate. This is useful
|
||||
if you are developing a plugin and want to try a new version. If you renamed
|
||||
something you don't have to worry about the old name still hanging around.
|

|

If you do want to keep items, use: >
|

vimscript noclear
|
||||
|
||||
You want to use this in scripts that use a `finish` command to bail out at
|
||||
some point when loaded again. E.g. when a buffer local option is set: >
|
||||
vimscript noclear
|
||||
setlocal completefunc=SomeFunc
|
||||
if exists('*SomeFunc') | finish | endif
|

def g:SomeFunc()

....
|
||||
|
||||
There is one gotcha: If a compiled function is replaced and it is called from
|
||||
another compiled function that is not replaced, it will try to call the
|
||||
function from before it was replaced, which no longer exists. This doesn't
|
||||

Limitations ~

|

Local variables will not be visible to string evaluation. For example: >
|
||||
def EvalString(): list<string>
|
||||
def MapList(): list<string>
|
||||
var list = ['aa', 'bb', 'cc', 'dd']
|
||||
return range(1, 2)->map('list[v:val]')
|
||||
enddef
|
||||
|
||||
The map argument is a string expression, which is evaluated without the
|
||||
function scope. Instead, use a lambda: >
|
||||
def EvalString(): list<string>
|
||||
def MapList(): list<string>
|
||||
var list = ['aa', 'bb', 'cc', 'dd']
|
||||
return range(1, 2)->map({ _, v -> list[v] })
|
||||
return range(1, 2)->map(( _, v) => list[v])

enddef
|

|

The same is true for commands that are not compiled, such as `:global`.
|
||||
For these the backtick expansion can be used. Example: >

def Replace()

var newText = 'blah'
