ivy-push-views does not restore windows upon ivy-switch-buffer #2595

Open cedrickos opened 4 years ago

cedrickos commented 4 years ago

When using ivy-push-views, I can choose a filename and save. It appears in the list with C-x b. When I select it, the windows do not return.

If I set:

  (setq ivy-views
      '(("tester {}"
     (vert
      (file ".emacs")
      (file "~/.emacs.d/configuration.el")))))

This functionality works perfectly. I can select it and the windows are restored as I would expect. There seems to be an issue with the on the fly feature.

I am using GNU Emacs 25.2.2, would this be the issue or am I missing something?

Thank you!

Works fine for me, here's ivy-views after I saved two views on the fly:

ivy-views
;; =>
;; (("{} ivy.el swiper/git"
;;   #<window-configuration>)
;;  ("{} swiper/git"
;;   #<window-configuration>))

Can you reproduce this issue with make plain? If possible, with Emacs 26.3.

Yes it appears without an issue and works within the frame I issued ivy-push-view. I just realized that the issue is if I try to open it in an other frame. Is it supposed to be accessible from another frame if it is created on the fly?

Side note, ivy is fantastic!

We use set-window-configuration, which restores the window configuration of the frame where it was saved.

I don't think it's possible use this function to restore a frame configuration on a different frame.

If someone can manage to figure this out, PRs are welcome.
