Hi! Thanks for maintaining the rubocop-auto-correct package!
In Atom v1.23, we will somechanges that may affect your package.
The methods TextEditor.onDidChange and TextBuffer.onDidChange will now call their callbacks less frequently. Previously, these callbacks would get called once for each individual change to the buffer. So if you had 5 cursors and typed a character, they would get called 5 times. Now, they will only get called once, and the event that is passed to them will contain information about all 5 of the changes that have occurred.
The same properties that have always existed on the TextBuffer.onDidChange events (oldRange, newRange, oldText, and newText) will still be there, and they will now reflect the sum of all changes that have occurred. But now there will be an additional property called changes, which will contain an array of more fine-grained objects describing the individual changes. We encourage you to use this property instead of the old ones.
Effects on this package
It looks like this package calls the changed methods in the following places:
We found these calls using a regex search, so this list might be incomplete, and it might contain some false positives.
What to do about the change
It is likely that you do not need to do anything. The old event properties will continue to work.
However, you may be able to handle changes more accurately and efficiently by using the changes field of the events rather than the old properties. The changes field does not exist in Atom 1.22 unless you use the TextBuffer.onDidChangeText method. In Atom 1.23 and above though, .onDidChange and .onDidChangeText will become identical, having both the old properties and the new changes property.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I would be happy to help!
