not all trigger_events are working

[dkuettel]

Hi,

trigger_events = { "InsertLeave", "TextChanged", "CursorHold", "CursorHoldI", "FocusLost" } reacts only for the first two events, as in the default settings. It used to work before the rewrite, except for FocusLost but I think that's on my side.

Cheers, Daniel.

Just as a side-note: I think I've seen someone else complaining in an issue about the rewrite. I understand that things dont just work right away without bugs.
But as someone that checks out your plugin using a git submodule, it's quite hard to follow what's happening when you keep on force-pushing on master. Not everyone might agree, but in general I think it's not a good idea to rewrite git history that other people have already checked out.

I had {"BufLeave", "BufWipeout", "VimLeave" } and it doesn't respect any of those. It just keeps saving on InsertLeave which makes my setup unusable because the autoformatting kicks in and using u to undo is useless because it finds itself in a loop.

I can all but guarantee that this is due to the use of api.nvim_get_current_buf().

When you create an autocmd, the callback function receives an object parameter, and when the event is based on a buffer action, that object will contain a buf option, which is the buffer number. You should always use this instead of looking up the buffer, as it can change. With the debouncing, it's all but guaranteed to save the wrong buffer when it eventually fires.

I also had this issue with BufLeave, etc. in LazyVim (with auto-save.nvim), even if I didn't have InsertLeave and TextChanged in my config it always saves file while I exit INSERT mode.
I removed the plugin and added auto-command:

-- /lua/config/autocmds.lua
local function augroup(name)
  return vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("lazyvim_" .. name, { clear = true })
end

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufLeave", "WinLeave", "FocusLost" }, {
  callback = function()
    local curbuf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
    if not vim.api.nvim_buf_get_option(curbuf, "modified") or vim.fn.getbufvar(curbuf, "&modifiable") == 0 then
      return
    end

    vim.cmd([[silent! update]])
  end,
  pattern = "*",
  group = augroup("autosave"),
})
