Does not work with filetype.nvim

[tsakirist]

Hello!

I just installed filetype.nvim to speed-up my nvim startup time but unfortunately it seems that committia will not open when writing a commit message.

Any idea/fix for this?

I had the same trouble and found the cause.

Environment:

• Neovim: v0.6.0
• committia.vim: commit 0b4df1a
• filetype.nvim: commit ddef0fa
• Package manager: paq-nvim (commit 94503ec)

Cause:

committia.vim registers autocmd for BufReadPost event to setup itself.

" https://github.com/rhysd/committia.vim/blob/0b4df1a7f48ffbc23b009bd14d58ee1be541917c/plugin/committia.vim#L13
    autocmd BufReadPost COMMIT_EDITMSG,MERGE_MSG if s:should_open('gitcommit') | call committia#open('git') | endif

s:should_open() checks whether the current filetype option is equal to gitcommit or not.

filetype.nvim also registers autocmd for BufRead event to set filetype.

" https://github.com/nathom/filetype.nvim/blob/ddef0faedfb561ca2af141a35ab6f256beba8b5a/plugin/filetype.vim#L3
    au BufNewFile,BufRead * lua require('filetype').resolve()

Because the autocmd event BufRead is just an alias for BufReadPost, these two event callbacks are fired in the order where they are registered, i.e., the order where the plugins are loaded. The loading order is, maybe, alphabetical or unspecified. Anyway, committia.vim can be loaded before filetype.nvim. In this case, s:should_open() returns false because filetype has not been determined yet.

Solution:

This PR of filetype.nvim resolves the problem. It works for me.

@nsfisis Thank you for taking a look at this. It's really helpful. Let's wait for nathom/filetype.nvim#54 being merged.

The loading order is, maybe, alphabetical or unspecified.

When plugins are installed in different directories, the order is the same as the order of directories in runtimepath. If they're in the same, the order is implementation-defined. But it actually seems an alphabetical order.

nathom/filetype.nvim#54 was merged, and now this plugin works again for me.
