Spawning many tabnine processes

[lopi-py]

I just have one file open and sometimes I open others but I delete that buffers and then there is one left but tabnine processes seems not killed and causes slowdowns in my entire computer. (There are more processes not shown in the screenshot) btw: when I exit neovim, all process get killed. Also I get this everytime I want to enter the hub:

os: Windows nvim version: NVIM v0.9.0-dev-55-gedc8a1f04 nvim gui: Neovide 0.10.1

This plugin opens up a new tabnine process only in the following cases: 1) when starting a new instance of neovim 2) when there was an error communicating with the running tabnine process Tabnine itself is prone to open new instances, especially when updating to a newer version (tabnine does that itself).

try running with the following patch, and lets see if the plugin is the culprit:

I would also try to disable the cloud option and see if it helps.

[lopi-py]

Thanks, I'll try but I can't disable cloud because of the above capture, I get it everytime I want to access the hub

[lopi-py]

I can't reproduce now the multiple instances but I found that at startup, 2 are spawned: I guess that only 1 should be spawned.

Also I'm getting delay when typing, but seems related to tabnine maybe? My pc isn't too good, thats I why use cloud but it's weird anyway

[lopi-py]

Something like a keystroke debounce may help?

Edit: Ok, I noticed that I should use require("cmp_tabnine.config").setup" instead of require("cmp_tabnine").setup, now one instance is spawned

This can be set in cmp.

yes, the second one is internal to cmp. you should use the first option

[lopi-py]

Seems more related to tabnine than this plugin, but I still can't access the hub

[alechp]

@lopi-py try running :CmpTabnineHubUrl and clicking the link.

Running CmpTabnineHub prefixes with Tabnine's actual website, which doesn't work

What I see when I run :CmpTabnineHub:

[lopi-py]

@alechp Ah thanks! I'm able to enter the hub, closing this since its related to tabnine

[alechp]

@lopi-py Just checked and default link generated by :CmpTabnineHub breaks when using Brave. Tested in Firefox and it works fine without the URL workaround

Another oddity of the Brave bug is that it throws an erroneous "Please verify your email" notice (even after having verified email)

[lopi-py]

@alechp Oh, I was using brave too, I just tried with opera and it works, thanks for the info 😄
