[Bug] Cannot :tabnew from neo-tree buffer

[levouh]

Using a minimal configuration such as:

vim.cmd("packadd plenary.nvim")
vim.cmd("packadd neo-tree.nvim")

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

located in something like /tmp/neo-tree.lua, perform the following:

1. nvim --noplugin -u /tmp/neo-tree.lua
2. Open a file somewhere in the current working directory
3. :NeoTreeFocus
4. :tabnew

Observe that no tab is actually opened, and the neo-tree buffer is now closed.

Is this reproducible for others?

Confirmed.

[levouh]

Doing :9verbose tabnew shows what all is being triggered, although I'm sure you might already have some ideas.

[cseickel]

Yeah, it is a problem with the logic that prevents other buffers from stealing neo-tree's window. I just need to figure out the right logic for new tabs.

This also pointed me to a much more serious bug when opening a file with neo-tree as the only window, it created a never ending loop of new splits. I'm going to push this fix right out to v1.x very soon.
