patch 8.0.0312: failure when a channel receives a split json message commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/88989cc381c764978f7d7c8e387f3efc21333b4b Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Mon Feb 6 21:56:09 2017 +0100 patch 8.0.0312: failure when a channel receives a split json message Problem: When a json message arrives in pieces, the start is dropped and the decoding fails. Solution: Do not drop the start when it is still needed. (Kay Zheng) Add a test. Reset the timeout when something is received.

function! Test_fnameescape()
  let fname = 'Xspa ce'

  try
    exe "w! " . fnameescape(fname)
    let status = v:true
  endtry
  call assert_true(status, "Space")
  call delete(fname)

  let fname = 'Xemark!'
  let status = v:false
  try
    exe "w! " . fnameescape(fname)
    let status = v:true
  endtry
  call assert_true(status, "ExclamationMark")
