Ferret's autocommands clash with other plugins quickfix/loclist display settings

Hey @wincent, I've got an issue with Ferret clashing with Neomake.
After some digging I've traced it to this autocommand:
Line 462 in 0b1c6b9
Without ferret, when I run :Neomake
on saving a file, neomake fills the loclist with linter/build output and then looks at some configuration to determine whether to call lwindow
and with what argument. This allows users to disable the location list popping up, or to change its height.
Problem being, that ferret autocommand hook for QuickFixCmdPost
is calling lwindow
unconditionally, so the Neomake configuration settings have no effect.
Happy to attempt a PR for this, but wanted to ping you first to ask:
- Does it make sense to just run
lwindow
/cwindow
inferret#private#complete
instead? - Can the autocommand subscribers be scoped to some more-ferret-specific event names?
Thanks! And thanks for ferret, it's been really useful to me!
Thanks for bringing this up. We should fix it, although I can't give a very good answer right now (on my phone). In general we want to play nicely with other plug-ins by default, and when that's too hard, at least provide an option to override the behavior. Ideally, we don't make any breaking changes to Ferret requiring existing users to adjust their set-ups. Feel free to submit a PR, but if you don't I'll see what I can do about this.
👍 Cool. To my eyes it looks like the plugin/ferret.vim
autocommands are superfluous, since the window opens when the finalize_search method calls cwindow
.
I'll make a PR to remove them fully realizing that I'm probably overlooking something. :Ack
, :Lack
, and :Acks
seem to work.
Merged your PR to next
. Thanks!
