A long, long time until cpp tags are updated #61

Closed esn89 closed 11 years ago

esn89 commented 11 years ago

I know the plugin works for me because either I wait for a good 5 minutes before the tags are updated, or I just type in :HighlightTags myself

Easy tags used to update immediately (think less than a minute) and color in all my functions, but now it doesn't. I have tried setting the g:easytags_updatetime_min option to 4 minutes and was still out of luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you try to run :UpdateTags! and see if that helps? The bang (!) will make it cleanup your tags file, it might help significantly (or it might not help at all, but that's why I want you to try :-).

The problem is that your tags file is too big. If you're not too attached to your tags, you can just throw away the tags file to get rid of this problem; you'll rebuild the tags file as you edit your source code files with Vim.

After looking into my .vimtags, I see what you mean.

I tried it and the problem has gone away. Thanks a bunch.
