Package: neovim-qt Version: 0.2.16-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: osc97deb...@sbin.anonaddy.com
Dear Maintainer, I spotted this (potential?) bug when attempting to use git difftool, with gvim as the selected tool, e.g. git difftool --tool=gvimdiff It seems this command expects gvim to remain attached to the terminal. As nvim-qt detaches (even when called via 'gvim'), git difftool thinks gvim has finished and exited before it even loads and consequently deletes the necessary temp files. This means the diffs cannot be read in nvim - it just shows empty buffers for the temp files. I'm assuming this is not how gvim is expected to behave, or how other providers of gvim behave, given that it is not what git expects. Thus, I propose the following patch. Change /usr/libexec/neovim-qt/gvim by adding the --nofork option so it reads: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/nvim-qt --nofork -- "$@" After doing this, 'git difftool --tool=gvimdiff' now works as expected. Thanks for your time. Hope this report helped.
