Remove --startuptime

[Soares]

Theoretically, there should be a way to poll vim and know when it's ready. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as it sounds.

Quoth dbarnett@:

I experimented with polling "--remote-expr 1" to see when vim is initialized, but that seems to not quite take care of it: tests still fail if we don't wait the full 0.5 seconds on startup. It looks like there's still a gap between when vim responds to "--remote-expr 1" and when it's actually "ready".

My solution to this problem is to check vim --serverlist for the name of the server I'm currently spawning. Relevant code path is here -> here -> here.

Huh, I'll check if that works. Thanks for the tip.

Does that mean it's theoretically able to respond to --remote-expr before it's listed in --serverlist?

I vaguely recall that I also started with a --remote-expr, and it worked, but I think I did it with a :write call, just to test it out, and I didn't want to leave it like that. I then moved on to the --serverlist method and didn't look back. Sending a --remote-expr 1 didn't even occur to me, that's pretty clever (even if it doesn't work :)).

So, I can't say for sure, but I guess your experiments are proof enough :).
