Definition file not loaded on start and forgotten on tab blur.

[piotr-cz]

When I open Notepad++, I need to reload definitions (Plugins > EditorConfig > Reload EditorConfig for this file) so plugin works correctly.

Same when I switch to another tab and come back.

I'm using v0.1.3 with Notepad++ v6.7.7, no other plugins installed except the default ones.

@piotr-cz I cannot reproduce the bug. Do you have a specific .editorconfig file I can test with?

# EditorConfig is awesome: http://EditorConfig.org
# Documentation: https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/wiki/EditorConfig-Properties

# top-most EditorConfig file
root = true

# Universal properties

indent_size = 4

charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

# Code

max_line_length = 120
curly_bracket_next_line = true

What are the two file names you switched between?

[piotr-cz]

It applies to any file I've tested, with different .editorconfig files, on two different machines with different OS. No matter if I'm editing a file within the same folder as the .editorcofig is located or in a nested subfolder. Tried with EOLs of CRLF and LF.

Strange is that it looks like I'm the only person experiencing the issue.

So the only common denominator is me? I mean, the plugin is supposed to work just after opening a file, right?

[xuhdev]

Yes, it is supposed to work after opening a file.

[piotr-cz]

Can I help somehow to track the bug down/ debug?

[xuhdev]

@piotr-cz If you have time, you can check the loadConfig function in PluginDefinition.cpp. It maybe neither called nor called correctly.

[xuhdev]

I mean you can do debugging on your system.

[piotr-cz]

I'm not good in C++, but I will try. Problem could be here: NppPluginEditorConfig.cpp as loading works tough menu but not on load.

As well as somewhere else, as the options are forgotten also when the tab loses focus:

1) I open file (.editorconfig is not loaded) 2) Plugins > EditorConfig > Reload EditorConfig for this file (loaded) 3) Switch to other tab, Switch back: (.editorconfig settings are forgotten).

Since this is quite an old bug, and I have never seen this happen myself, could you check if the problem still exists with the new versions. At the moment of writing that is Notepad++ 7.6.3 and the plugin version 0.4.0

And if it still exists, in v0.4.0 of the plugin is a Show EditorConfig settings for this file in the menu. Maybe that can help to debug the problem.

I am closing this one. If the problem still exists, feel free to reopen it
