[vim/vim] sign_getplaced() does not return the placed signs (Issue #9136)

[rickhowe]

Steps to reproduce

For example, after running the following code,

for ln in range(1, 10)
    call sign_define(ln, {'text': ln})
    call sign_place(0, 'test', ln, bufnr(), {'lnum': ln})
endfor

:echo sign_getdefined()
returns a list of all the defined signs as expected.

But,
:echo sign_getplaced()
returns
[{'signs': [], 'buffer': 1}].

Expected behaviour

As help says, it is expected to return a list of all the placed signs.

Operating system

Windows 10

Version of Vim

Note that with this call the signs are placed in a group called 'test' and

not in the global group. To place a sign in the global group, the second

argument should be an empty string.

 

endfor

:echo sign_getdefined()
returns a list of all the defined signs as expected.

But,
:echo sign_getplaced()

The sign_getplaced() function without any arguments returns only signs in the

global group. To display the signs in the group 'test', you need to use:

 

:echo sign_getplaced(bufnr(), {'group': 'test'})

The sign_getplaced() function without any arguments returns only signs in
the
global group. To display the signs in the group 'test', you need to use:

:echo sign_getplaced(bufnr(), {'group': 'test'})
