# AGENTS.md - tia-lsp.nvim

Neovim plugin for Siemens TIA Portal languages. Currently supports **SCL**; planned support for STL/AWL, LAD, FBD. This repo is the plugin only (`lua/` + tree-sitter queries). The companion LSP server lives in `tia-lsp`.

## Build/Lint/Test Commands

```bash
# Lua Linting
luacheck lua/tia/             # Lint language modules
luacheck lua/tia_lsp/         # Lint plugin entry point

# Unit & Integration Tests
lua test/run_tests.lua       # Run all plugin tests
lua test/test_udt.lua        # Run UDT parser tests
lua test/test_db.lua         # Run DB parser tests
lua test/test_fb.lua         # Run FB parser tests
lua test/test_integration.lua # Run integration tests

# Reference Project
# Tests use files from: ~/Documents/siemens/scl_lang_support_lazyvim_ref_project/
# Override with: SCL_REF_PROJECT=/path/to/ref lua tests/run_tests.lua
```

## Naming Convention

- **Project name** (repo, Lua module): `tia-lsp.nvim` / `tia_lsp` — umbrella for all TIA languages.
- **Language name** (filetype, tree-sitter parser): `scl` — stays as-is. Future languages (`stl`, `lad`, `fbd`) get their own names.
- **LSP client name**: `tia_lsp` (one client handles all TIA languages; dispatches by `filetype` / `languageId`).
- **Commands**: `:SCLFormat`, `:SCLShowVariables`, etc. — per-filetype prefix. Future: `:STLFormat`, etc.

## Filetype Detection

`ftdetect/scl.vim` registers the following extensions as `scl` filetype:
```vim
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.scl set filetype=scl
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.udt set filetype=scl
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.db set filetype=scl
```

## Code Style Guidelines

### Module Pattern
```lua
local M = {}

local cache = {}

function M.public_function()
end

local function private_function()
end

return M
```

### Naming Conventions
- Functions/variables: `snake_case` (e.g., `get_udt_members`)
- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g., `PROJECT_MARKERS`)
- Private functions: declare as `local function` before public functions
- Booleans: prefix with `is_`, `has_` (e.g., `is_udt`, `has_members`)

### Imports
- `lua/tia/` modules: `require("tia.module_name")`
- `lua/tia_lsp/` entry: `require("tia_lsp")`
- External dependencies: wrap in `pcall()` for safety

### Code Formatting
- `lua/tia/` and `lua/tia_lsp/`: 2 spaces indentation
- Max line length: 120 characters
- No trailing whitespace

### Comments
Add comments to explain non-obvious code sections, complex logic, and public API functions. Keep comments concise and relevant.

### Parser Module API
All parser modules must implement:
- `parse_*_file(filepath)` - Parse and cache
- `parse_*_content(content, filename)` - Parse string
- `get_*(name)` - Get cached item
- `get_all_*_names()` - List all cached names
- `get_*_members(name)` - Get members/fields
- `is_*_type(name)` - Check if known type
- `clear_cache()` - Clear cached data
- `get_cache_count()` - Return cache size

### Cache Management
```lua
local cache = {}

function M.clear_cache()
  for k in pairs(cache) do
    cache[k] = nil
  end
end
```

### Error Handling
```lua
function M.parse_file(filepath)
  local file = io.open(filepath, "r")
  if not file then
    return nil, "Cannot open file: " .. filepath
  end
  return result
end

-- External dependencies
local ok, module = pcall(require, "some_module")
if ok and module then
  module.do_something()
end
```

## Lua Reserved Keywords

Cannot use reserved keywords as table keys directly:
```lua
-- WRONG
local range = { start = pos1, end = pos2 }

-- CORRECT
local range = { start = pos1, ["end"] = pos2 }
```

Critical for LSP range objects with `end` field.

## Type System

The LSP validates data types and provides warnings for unknown types:
- **Elementary**: BOOL, BYTE, WORD, DWORD, INT, DINT, REAL, TIME, STRING, etc.
- **Timer/counter**: IEC_TIMER, TON_TIME, TOF_TIME, CTU, CTD, CTUD
- **Built-in FBs**: TON, TOF, TP, R_TRIG, F_TRIG, etc.
- **Built-in functions**: ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, SIN, COS, SQRT, etc.
- **Workspace types**: UDTs from `.udt` files, DBs from `.db` files

## Testing

Use the reference project for testing:
```
~/Documents/siemens/scl_lang_support_lazyvim_ref_project/
```

Contains `.scl`, `.db`, `.udt`, and `.xml` files for comprehensive testing of:
- Plugin features (auto-prefix, workspace scanning, attribute toggle)
- Workspace type scanning
