[BUG] Reveal file does not work

[levouh]

See below:

neo-tree-reaveal-file-bug.mp4

where the steps to reproduce would be:

1. Open a file
2. Use :NeoTreeReveal
3. Observe that the correct file is not revealed, and instead the tree is simply shrunk

This was introduced via 4787b637895fccfedb813c9bf8926453f187c2e8, as the same action works (meaning the tree properly focuses the current file) on 751ee6b4e840d36915ab5ac7234e848aa45db1ac.

I'm not seeing the same issue. Are you currently on the latest release, which is 517cf66?

Can you paste your config here?

[levouh]

I am using 59d22bbc767a16ebce4d706e9b5e4be350be9278, and it happens for me when using a minimal configuration like:

vim.opt.runtimepath = { vim.env.VIMRUNTIME }

vim.cmd([[
  packadd plenary.nvim
  packadd nui.nvim
  packadd neo-tree.nvim
]])

require("neo-tree").setup({})

and then running nvim --noplugin -u /tmp/neo-tree.lua (assuming the file above is at the path mentioned here). :e a path in the same directory as where you ran nvim, and run :NeoTreeReveal.

Thanks, I see it now. I am pretty sure the first invocation works but the second invocation is messing it up by not having the correct folders open.

[cseickel]

@levouh Can you try the latest in main and let me know if it works correctly?

I think this problem still exists.

when

Usually happen after all packages get updated via packer.nvim (while don't restart the session) / files are created / files are removed via neo-tree.

That was the missing detail I needed! I found the bug and am fixing it now.

[cseickel]

@nyngwang I think this is fixed now in main.

@cseickel Lol, I thought this info was not important days ago so I didn't provide it. Let me check it now!

update: It works. I think we can close this for now (I replied in another thread too.)
