Replace parser/surround-context with the toxic2 tolerant parser#336
Conversation
- ElixirSense.Core.Parser parses everything via Toxic2 (no Code.string_to_quoted fast path); error recovery and cursor location now come from toxic2 - Range-based cursor marking (ElixirSense.Core.Parser.Cursor) using toxic2 source ranges, replacing the __cursor__() text-injection heuristics - get_cursor_env derives the cursor env from a separate marked parse - Drop the bespoke fix_parse_error loop and container_cursor fallbacks Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Exposes ElixirSense.Core.Parser.parse_to_neutralized_ast/2 - the toxic2 best-effort AST plus diagnostic stream, with __error__ placeholder nodes neutralized. keep_range: true preserves toxic2 range: metadata for range-aware consumers (the LS parser and document-symbol / folding / selection-range providers); the default strips it for the classic line:/column: shape used by metadata building. neutralize_errors/3 now threads keep_range through every clause.

Introduces ElixirSense.Core.SurroundContext.Toxic.surround_context/2, the seam for the toxic2 range-based symbol-under-cursor classifier. It returns the same shape as Code.Fragment.surround_context/2 so to_binding/get_cursor_env/locators are unchanged. Stage 0 delegates entirely to Code.Fragment; classification is added incrementally per symbol-kind with a fallback. Navigation locators (definition/references/ implementation/hover) now call the seam. Completion stays on Code.Fragment. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implements the toxic2 range-based symbol-under-cursor classifier (item 2), replacing the Code.Fragment.surround_context delegation from stage 0. It walks to the deepest ranged node containing the cursor and classifies it into the same context shapes Code.Fragment emits, so SurroundContext.to_binding and the locators are unchanged. Handled via toxic: aliases, remote dot calls + all inside_dot forms, bare vars and __MODULE__, module attributes (incl. @type/@spec/@doc with args), alias/@attr structs, sigils, capture args (&1), symbolic operators, local arity (foo/1), parenthesized local calls. Falls back to Code.Fragment (so the function is total and never worse than before) for: bare :atom literals and keyword keys (no range meta), interpolated-atom / bracket-access / string-interpolation synthetic dots (from_brackets/delimiter/from_interpolation), word operators, exotic alias heads (__MODULE__.Foo / @attr.Foo), var-type structs (statement- position dependent), multialias Foo.{...}, invalid @@ names, and the & capture prefix. Containment is end-exclusive to match Code.Fragment's :none boundary. Validated by a differential test over ~90k cursor positions in real source files (matches Code.Fragment except ~8 benign positions on rare/invalid syntax) plus a unit test of the navigable shapes and the regressions found in adversarial review (__MODULE__.Foo, @attr.Foo, @@, &+/2 all now match Code.Fragment).

…alized.Tokenizer
Ports the AST-based bitstring-modifier detection from elixir-ls completion-engine
rework (98e983d) into Source.bitstring_options/1: parse the prefix with
Code.Fragment.container_cursor_to_quoted and match the cursor's Macro.path against
{:"::", _, [_,_]} inside {:<<>>, _, [_|_]} (stripping - operator wrappers), instead
of scanning Elixir tokens. Same return contract (the modifiers string after the
last ::, or nil) so the bitstring completion reducer is unchanged.
Removes the last ElixirSense.Core.Normalized.Tokenizer user; deletes the module,
its test, and its now-stale .dialyzer_ignore entries. Edge cases verified against
the old behavior (adversarial review): <<x::size( -> nil and a newline before the
modifier are both functionally equivalent/better.

Brings the completion engine to parity with elixir-ls's port-complete-merges rework (wholesale onto Elixir 1.20), namespace-translated (ElixirLS.Utils / ElixirLS.LanguageServer.* -> ElixirSense.*): - completion_engine.ex: rewritten - cursor parsing delegated to Code.Fragment, @bitstring_modifiers embedded, struct/map-field + bitstring-modifier detection done via container_context (AST), upstream correctness fixes through 1.20. - reducers: bitstring.ex and struct.ex deleted (folded into CompleteEngine add_bitstring_options/add_struct_fields + add_keywords); complete_engine.ex and record.ex updated; suggestion.ex @reducers list updated. - plugins/ecto/query.ex: only the clauses_suggestions hunk applied (the rest of the file had diverged - extract_bindings is an elixir_sense improvement - so a surgical apply rather than a file overwrite). - tests: complete_test.exs and suggestions_test.exs ported as test/elixir_sense/providers/completion/{completion_engine,suggestions}_test.exs (292 tests). A few env-specific assertions adapted to elixir_sense's test env (app name :elixir_sense, no stream_data dep, struct-completion namespaces). - test/support/module_with_typespecs.ex synced (the ported tests need the Local/Behaviour/Impl/MacroBehaviour fixtures elixir-ls had added). - .dialyzer_ignore.exs: ignore the upstream-faithful unreachable :error clauses.

… review) - Multi-line remote call: derive the dot end from the callee meta (line+column), not the dot token, so `A.\n bar` with the cursor on the dot gets the correct cross-line end instead of an impossible same-line one (which broke get_call_arity -> wrong overload). - Spaced `@ attr`: require the attribute name to be contiguous with `@` (one column after); otherwise it is the unary `@` operator on a local var, which Code.Fragment reports as :local_or_var (was wrongly classified as a module attribute). - Remote arity slash `A.bar/1`: defer any `<ref>/<int>` slash to Code.Fragment (arity vs division is lexical), so the slash no longer resolves to Kernel.//2.

…_encoder
Parse with a literal_encoder that wraps literals in {:__block__, meta, [literal]} so
bare :atom literals carry a range and can be classified from the (authoritative on
valid code) toxic2 parse instead of the lexical Code.Fragment fallback. Shrinks the
fallback surface: bare :atom, x = :ok, and the :erlang.foo dot-left operand (which
previously had no range and fell back) now classify natively.
- New clause for {:__block__, meta, [atom]}: only identifier atoms with a colon-led
range (width == len+1) -> :unquoted_atom; keyword keys (format: :keyword),
nil/true/false, and operator/special atoms (:%{}, :+, :.) still defer to
Code.Fragment (the :key/:keyword and :none/:operator distinctions are lexical).
- Unwrap the now-wrapped atom in inside_dot and the wrapped integer in the arity
checks (foo/1, A.bar/1). Differential vs Code.Fragment over real files is unchanged
(same handful of exotic residuals); nav + completion suites green.

…literal_encoder
Push more literal classification onto the parse tree. The literal_encoder
already gives bare :atoms a range; extend the wrapped-literal classify clause
to also handle:
- keyword keys (format: :keyword) -> {:key, charlist}, with :none when the
cursor is on the trailing colon (key span excludes the colon)
- bare nil/true/false (no leading colon) -> {:keyword, charlist}
This shrinks the Code.Fragment lexical fallback surface further; the
differential against Code.Fragment stays at the same 7 exotic residuals.

…ode.Fragment A step range `a..b//c` lowers to a single ternary `:..//` node, but Code.Fragment classifies the `..` and `//` lexically as two separate operators. The cursor on the `..` was reporting the whole `..//` atom name; report `..` over the two `..` columns instead and let the `//` columns fall back to Code.Fragment (the `..//` node range does not reach them). This was the most common differential residual (every step range in real code). After this, a 6-file real-source scan drops to 2 residuals, both cases where toxic is *more* precise than the lexical oracle (`&(-&1)` -> `:capture_arg`/`:operator` where Code.Fragment returns `:none`); those are documented as intentional divergences and kept because they drive better navigation.

/simplify cleanup:
- Add surround_context/3 taking an already-parsed AST, so callers that parse
the source themselves (selection_ranges) reuse that AST instead of triggering
a fresh toxic2 parse per cursor position. Both arities share a private
classify_at/3; the parse opts move to a private parse/1.
- classify({:__block__, ...}): compute Atom.to_string once (reused for length
and charlist) and reuse the keyword-key span binding instead of rebuilding
the {{sl,sc},{el,ec-1}} tuple.

Switch the toxic2 parser dependency from a local path dep to the published git repo (lukaszsamson/toxic2) so a clean checkout / CI can resolve it. toxic2 requires Elixir ~> 1.19, which transitively raises this branch's minimum: bump mix.exs to ~> 1.19 and drop the 1.16/1.17/1.18 jobs from the CI matrix (Linux + Windows) accordingly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 98e983d port carried warnings that the static-analysis gate (compile
--warnings-as-errors + credo --strict) on Elixir 1.19/1.20 rejects:
- prefix unused clause args with _ (metadata/env/module/cursor_position/name/head)
- drop the duplicate :type key in the erlang module result map
- value_from_alias/2 always returns {:alias, _}, so remove the two dead
:error branches the 1.20 type checker proves unreachable (matches elixir-ls)
- wrap the single-line MIT license header (was one 434-char line)
- mark the deliberate single-condition cond with a credo disable
No behavior change; full suite (1668) + dialyzer still green.

Pull request overview
This PR switches ElixirSense’s parsing/error-recovery and “symbol under cursor” classification to use the toxic2 error-tolerant parser (range-based), and ports the elixir-ls completion engine to remove the Normalized.Tokenizer shim. It also updates project/CI requirements to align with toxic2’s Elixir compatibility.
Changes:
- Replace custom parsing +
Code.Fragment-based navigation context with toxic2 parsing and a newElixirSense.Core.SurroundContext.Toxicrange-based classifier. - Port/reshape the completion subsystem (incl. structs fields, bitstring modifiers, and keywords) and remove the old struct/bitstring reducers and tokenizer.
- Add/adjust extensive tests/fixtures and bump Elixir requirement/CI matrix; pin toxic2 as a git dependency.

Honor parser options when parsing quoted strings
When callers use the public ElixirSense.string_to_quoted/5 API with parser_options, those options are still accepted and forwarded as :parser_options, but this path now calls tolerant_parse(source) with no options. That silently ignores options such as :existing_atoms_only or :literal_encoder, changing the returned AST and potentially creating atoms even when the caller requested existing atoms only. Please thread the parser options into the toxic2 parse or remove the public parameter.

Filter bitstring modifiers by parsed state
When completing after a modifier that restricts what can follow, such as <<x::binary- or <<x::utf8-, this filter only excludes names already typed, so it will suggest invalid modifiers such as signed, little, or size that Elixir rejects. The previous reducer used ElixirSense.Core.Bitstring.available_options/1 to apply the type/sign/endianness/UTF rules; use the parsed modifier state here instead of the flat list before formatting.

Read struct fields from the field group
When a reducer chain explicitly enables :structs_fields without :variable_fields (for example, Record.add_fields/5 now narrows follow-up reducers to :structs_fields in the maybe-record-update path), populate/6 groups completions by their type, and struct fields emitted by the engine have type: :field with subtype: :struct_field. As a result, add_suggestions(:struct_field, acc) always returns an empty list and drops those completions; filter the :field group by subtype here instead.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
…code - parser: thread caller `parser_options` (`:existing_atoms_only`, `:literal_encoder`) from the public `string_to_quoted/5` API through `string_to_ast` into the toxic2 parse instead of silently dropping them. - complete_engine: `add_struct_fields` / `add_fields` now filter the `:field` suggestion group by `:subtype` (struct fields are emitted as `type: :field, subtype: :struct_field`, so looking up a `:struct_field` type found nothing and dropped them when a chain enabled `:structs_fields` without `:variable_fields`). Matches the elixir-ls copy, which already had this. - completion_engine: compute the loaded/application module-name list once per struct-module filter pass rather than per candidate (`has_struct_submodule?` was O(N^2)). - cursor: document why range containment is intentionally end-inclusive (a completion/nav cursor sits at the exclusive end of the token being typed). - Remove the now-dead `ElixirSense.Core.Bitstring` module + test: the bitstring modifier completion uses the inlined `@bitstring_modifiers` list (elixir-ls #1264), so nothing referenced it.

Reverses the version-floor drop that came from toxic2's `~> 1.19` pin. toxic2 now compiles on 1.16-1.20 (lukaszsamson/toxic2 elixir-1.16-support branch, which fixes a compile-time regex `#Reference` escape that broke 1.16/1.17), so elixir_sense can support the same range again. - Lower `elixir:` back to `~> 1.16`. - Bump the toxic2 ref to c47c911 (the 1.16-compatible build) and mix.lock. - Restore the 1.16/1.17/1.18 jobs in the Linux + Windows test matrices.

Restoring the 1.16-1.18 CI matrix surfaced tests that had never run against the
toxic2 parser on < 1.18 (CI had been 1.19+):
- surround_context/2: `Code.Fragment` only classifies `&1` capture args and
keyword keys as `:capture_arg` / `{:key, _}` from Elixir 1.18 on. Toxic parses
them structurally on every version, so assert Toxic's own (correct) result
always and only compare against the version-dependent oracle on >= 1.18.
- error_recovery: the incomplete fn/catch/guard-clause cursor-env tests used a
trailing-fragment completion (the production path - the editor always has text
after the cursor) on >= 1.18 but a raw no-suffix parse on < 1.18 that was never
validated and yields a nil cursor env on 1.16/1.17. Collapse both to the
suffix-based production path, which works uniformly across versions.

The `:bitstring_modifier` completion branch only split the text after `::` and dropped already-typed names, so it offered combinations Elixir rejects - e.g. `signed`/`little`/`native`/`utf8` after `binary-`, `size`/`unit`/`signed` after `utf8-`, `signed`/`binary` after `float-`. Restore the type/sign/endianness/utf/size/unit validity rules by parsing the modifiers already typed after `::` into a state and keeping only the modifiers that may still legally follow. The logic is inlined as private helpers in the completion engine (self-contained; the old `ElixirSense.Core.Bitstring` module stays removed). The flat `@bitstring_modifiers` list is still the display source (names + size/unit arity), now filtered by the parsed state. Tests assert the invalid options are absent (not just that valid ones are present) for `binary-`, `utf8-` and `float-`.
