Before this change, when you use a tree-sitter navigation function to
move to the next beginning of a thing, it jumps over the immediate
next thing and lands you at the beginning of the next-next thing.
Eg, when point is at the "|", and we evaluate
(treesit--navigate-thing pos 1 'beg), we go from
| (thing) (thing)
to
(thing) |(thing)
But some might expect point to go to
|(thing) (thing)
instead, which makes sense. Also, that's how Emacs expect defun
navigation functions to work. The discrepancy in expectation causes
bug#61617.
In this change I made tree-sitter navigation functions to work as what
Emacs expects. And what I described for moving to the next beginning
of thing is similarly applicable to moving to the end of previous end
of thing.
* lisp/treesit.el (treesit-beginning-of-defun)
(treesit-end-of-defun): Handle the case where defun-skipper moves
point back to where we started, by adding a retry.
(treesit--navigate-thing): Add a single condition checking for
progress to the condition form responsible for checking whether to
skip the next defun. Namely (eq pos (funcall advance next)))).
* test/src/treesit-tests.el:
(treesit--ert-defun-navigation-nested-master)
(treesit--ert-defun-navigation-top-level-master): Change tests to
reflect the new expectation.
