freezing at start #22

Closed binarytrails closed 5 years ago

binarytrails commented 6 years ago

I've come back to my setup; the jackd & supercolider are running without errors but when I launch tidalvim it freezes with an old file at screen and it says: ghc: ConnectionClosed; is there a way to flush its cache or force it to not load this file / start fresh? I tried to move all of my files to different location and I started looking into tidalvim script file but I'm quite unfamiliar with it...

The tidalvim script when run tries to reattach to an existing tmux session. Try closing both the Vim and GHCI panes, or run tmux kill-session -t tidal to kill the current session.

About the ghc: ConnectionClosed, that looks like a problem with Tidal, I'm not sure what could be causing that. I would suggest doing also a pkill -9 ghc just in case (note that the process is named ghc not ghci) and try running tidalvim again.

Yes, this makes total sense now.

I went to the root by trying to kill vim and it was surviving so I located it with ps aux | grep vim and I saw tons of processes with ghc and tmux which led me to killall ghc but vim stayed alive so for tmux I ended up killing them by pid. If I encounter it again, I will try your suggestion of a more elegant way tmux kill-session -t tidal which seems to be doing the same.

One interesting fact is that I deleted all tidalvim files with backup, completely removed the plugin and verified that all the files were deleted but the loaded and freezed file persisted, I guess due to the tmux session in the memory.

Thank you for your prompt response!
