Error detected while processing function FocusGained Autocommands

[mckellygit]

Hi,
Thank you for this great plugin.
Recently I have been sometimes getting this when starting a new vim -

Error detected while processing function <SNR>58_do_autocmd[3]..FocusGained Autocommands for "*"..function tmux_focus_events#focus_gained:
line    8:

Just wondered if there was a try/catch or some way to fix/avoid this ?
thx,
-m

Can you disable other plugins and reproduce it consistently?

[mckellygit]

I'll try. It only started recently. Hard to reproduce reliably, I mean it happens a few times per day but I cannot repro it exactly when I want.

For me this happens when switching back to tmux/vim when I left vim in command mode.
I tested with all plugins disabled and had the same behavior.

Error detected while processing function tmux_focus_events#focus_gained:
line    8:
E1155: Cannot define autocommands for ALL events

I am using neovim.

[mckellygit]

ok, I can reproduce it reliably if I hit / or : immediately after starting vim, not waiting for the screen/file loading etc.
This fixes it, but I am not sure if its the correct fix -

I just added a try/catch for E1155 around the focus_gained_checktime autocmd.
thx,

We can add try/catch there but that would probably mean you would NOT get this autocommand installed. The Focus lost/gained events would not trigger is some cases in that vim instance.

Btw. are you on neovim? I can't get any info for E1155 with vanilla vim.

[mckellygit]

Hi,
Vim source shows -
INIT(= N_("E1155: Cannot define autocommands for ALL events"));
So it looks the same for both vim and neovim.
I'll try to find a different way to install this autocmd.

[mckellygit]

Total hack, but something like this seems to work -

[mckellygit]

It could be simplified to just call s:RetryAU(0) in focus_gained()
Perhaps something like this -

function! s:RetryAU(au_timer)
  try
    augroup focus_gained_checktime
      au!
      " perform checktime ASAP when outside cmd line
      au * * call <SID>delayed_checktime()
    augroup END
  catch /E1155/
    let au_timer = timer_start(50, function('s:RetryAU'))
  endtry
endfunction

function! tmux_focus_events#focus_gained()
  if !&autoread
    return
  endif
  if <SID>cursor_in_cmd_line()
    call <SID>RetryAU(0)
  else
    silent checktime
  endif
endfunction

Looks good, wanna submit a PR?

[mckellygit]

ok, sure, will do in a few.

[mckellygit]

PR #35
thx again,
-m

[mckellygit]

We need to revert this PR #35
And come up with a better solution.

[mckellygit]

Hi,
Thanks for reverting my bad PR, sorry about that.
This seems to work and I confirmed delayed_checktime() is getting called once in vim and nvim, but I am shy about another PR without more review and testing. Still not sure I understand the add the autocmd and then remove it step.

      au CmdLineEnter,CmdLineChanged * call <SID>delayed_checktime()

thx,

[mckellygit]

This change seems ok to me so far ... Anyone else have ideas or comments ?
thx,
