Command for vertical split not working anymore

[oblitum]

Warning: I will close the issue without the minimal init.vim and the reproduction instructions.

Problems summary

Command for vertical split not working anymore:

:Defx -split=vertical -winwidth=50 -direction=topleft -columns=icons:filename:type

It's just opening full window.

Expected

Open a sidebar as it worked previously

@oblitum I have the same problem. Here is my work around

nnoremap <silent> <F3> :call DefxDrawerToggle()<CR>
" nnoremap <silent> <F3> :Defx -columns=git:mark:filename:type -toggle -split=vertical -winwidth=60 -direction=botright<CR>
fun! DefxDrawerToggle()
  if bufwinnr('defx') > 0
    execute "bd! " . bufnr('defx')
  else
    rightbelow vert split
    Defx `expand('%:p:h')`
    vert resize 60
  endif
endfun

@sandangel thanks! though this makes things way more complicated to have a simple split as most file browsers provide...

[oblitum]

Looks like the cause is the fix for issue #60. Not sure how :Defx -split=vertical -winwidth=50 -direction=topleft -columns=icons:filename:type should be translated to the new way of doing the same, if there's one.

[oblitum]

OK, looks like I just needed to:

  call defx#custom#option('_', {
  \   'columns': 'icons:filename:type',
  \   'direction': 'topleft',
  \   'split': 'vertical',
  \   'winwidth': 50
  \ })

And :Defx would open as :Defx -split=vertical -winwidth=50 -direction=topleft -columns=icons:filename:type by default.

This will be enough for me but, I was initially using the command as a mapping:

nnoremap <silent> <leader>D :Defx -split=vertical -winwidth=50 -direction=topleft -columns=icons:filename:type<cr>

And I could have a variation of different mappings with custom settings, this seems not possible anymore as straightforward as it was before.

Confirmed. It is the bug of defx.

Please update it.
