Crashes with the latest vim-mode-plus

[dionyziz]

Even though the issue with the previous version of vim-mode-plus was addressed in #132, the latest update to atom-latex (0.8.4) and vim-mode-plus (1.28.0) causes this bug to reappear.

To reproduce:

1. Enable both atom-latex and vim-mode-plus and upgrade to the latest versions.
2. Open a .tex document
3. Trying typing $\$

Expected behavior: The text is typed correctly.
Actual behavior: The editor crashes.

@dionyziz Can you share what shows up in the debug console?
I just tried installing vim-mode-plus v1.28.0 and couldn't reproduce your error. I would advise to open up an issue its repo as well, to speed up figuring out the cause.

[dionyziz]

I do not have an error in the debug console, because the editor hangs as soon as I type \. It looks like the screenshot attached.

@dionyziz Again, I just installed vim-mode-plus, and everything seemed normal when trying your triggers $ \$
Could you possible share the entries for atom-latex and vim-mode-plus from your config.cson, so that I can try and reproduce?

[ashthespy]

@dionyziz closing as I can't reproduce this without your inputs.

[dionyziz]

This issue was temporarily fixed until the latest update where it starts occurring again. Could you please reopen?

Here is my config.cson as it pertains to atom-latex:

"*":
  "atom-latex":
    build_after_save: false

I do not have vim-mode-plus-specific configuration.

The following message appears right before the editor hangs:

I have been able to reproduce the above issue with all other plugins disabled, outside of vim-mode-plus and atom-latex.

[ashthespy]

@dionyziz I just tried with the default the default vim-mode-plus installations. Couldn't reproduce.
As I don't really use that plugin, can you give me minimal settings/steps to reproduce?
Here is what I managed:

[dionyziz]

Is it possible to just disable everything outside of LaTeX highlighting for this package? In particular I would like to disable auto-completion/suggestions to see if the issue pertains to that.

[dionyziz]

Actually I just tried disabling vim-mode-plus completely and the problem remains. So it seems that these two plugins are not conflicting after all -- this seems to be an issue with atom-latex only. The problem persists even if atom-latex is the only package installed.

@dionyziz do you have a lot of files in your project dir?
In that case the file watcher module we use could be having issues.

You could disable the watcher module, (albeit at the cost of more filesystem IO operations). To do this, add a disable_watcher:true to your config.cson (Found from File→Config...) under the Atom-Latex object - something like:

  "atom-latex":
    bibtex: "biber"
    disable_watcher: true
