call a function in already started nvim after it has started #361

Closed saidelike closed 1 month ago

saidelike commented 1 month ago

It is kind of related to https://github.com/neovim/node-client/issues/360 but more specific.

At the moment, I start my node plugin test framework from init.lua at nvim startup and it worked fine on Windows/locally but it deadlocks on Linux/CI.

I am not sure if it is a Linux difference or a CI difference but I am investigating if there is any way to kick of the test differently (not from init.lua). For instance, is there a way for me to start nvim, wait a bit that it initialises and then call a function from it, either from node or vim script (since I export the node function into vim script anyway)?

You issue was resolved here, correct? https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/28886

Correct, it was due to "hit enter to continue" message that was blocking neovim command call from node.
