Why i always get the popup asking me to confirm overwriting .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG?

[shelper]

i use the default setting for neogit latest (commit 9bc4ee8) with minor changes in lazyvim as below:

	{
		"NeogitOrg/neogit",
		dependencies = {
			"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim", -- required
			"sindrets/diffview.nvim", -- optional - Diff integration
			"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim", -- optional
		},
		opts = {
			integrations = {
				telescope = true,
				diffview = true,
				fzf_lua = nil,
			},
		},
		config = true,
	},

but whenever i press c c to commit i always get the pop up as shown in the figure below, even i manually delete the commit_editmsg right before i press c to commit, the file comes back and this popup shows up ...

Did i made any mistake? or is there a configuration for that .

It's possible this is coming from another part of your config. One way to check would be to :write the buffer before closing it and see if the popup still appears.

you mean the buffer for the commit message? here is what i tried:

1. delete .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
2. run neogit commit, no .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG at this moment
3. press 'c' in the splitted neogit window, then this message popup, and .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG also got created
4. press Y to confirm the popup and edit the commit message, and then `:write",
5. commit is there, also the newly created .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
6. made some changes, go to step 2, same thing again

btw, when i am using lazygit in nvim (as configed by lazyvim) no such issue

[shelper]

well i think you are right, i tested just the neogit plugin and it does not have the popup...
really dont know where this pop up come from ...

[shelper]

turns out it's due to an autocmd i setup:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "FocusLost", "BufLeave" }, { pattern = { "*" }, command = "silent! wall", nested = true, })
once i delete this, no popup,
but i just dont know how to fix it, Tried something like below but still not working

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "FocusLost", "BufLeave" }, {

pattern = { "*" },

callback = function()

local bufname = vim.fn.bufname()

local filetype = vim.bo.filetype

if filetype ~= "gitcommit" and not string.match(bufname, "/%.git/") then

vim.cmd("silent! wall")

end

end,

nested = true,

})

Oh, the filetype is NeogitCommitMessage, not gitcommit. You can find this in vim via :echo &ft at any time.

thanks for this issue, saves time to figure out what was going on. This workaround fixes it:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufLeave", {
  pattern = "*", -- Trigger on all buffers
  callback = function()
    local filetype = vim.bo.filetype
    if not string.match(filetype, "^Neogit") then
      vim.cmd("silent! wall")
    end
  end,
  nested = true,
})
