Re: [ jEdit-devel ] Need after-loaded trigger

[Patrick W. <jed...@pd...>]

I will try it again, but here is what I found:

- My plugin is set to activate on startup (not deferred)

- I have a call to getBuffers() within start(). I have several buffers
open. I close JEdit and restart it (not just the plugin). I have a print
method in start(), then a loop printing out buffer names, then another
print statement. I get two print statements and no buffers listed. This
despite the fact that my buffers did actually load.

- I do have a handleMessage() within my plugin. It appears to work as it
should as I open and close buffers. It does not catch the buffers loaded
at startup. Not sure why at this point. It seems either the buffers shoul=
d
be loaded when start() is called, or loaded after start() is called, once
the plugin is listening on the EditBus. But no buffers are caught at this
point.

- If I just reload the plugin, it picks up all open buffers in the start(=
)
method.

There may just be a bug in my code, I will check again.

My workaround is to have an action that explicitly looks for open buffers
and starts to track them. It may be this could be added to a script in th=
e
startup folder. Otherwise, if you want to use buffer stats, and track
buffers that are opened along with JEdit, you need to call the action one
time.

Hope this makes the situation clearer.
