Closing file do not work anymore.

[thierrymichel]

Hi,

First fo all, thanks for this extension!

Since the april update (not completely sure about the date), I need to close the window to end properly the rmate process.
Previously, it was working when closing the file (which is more convenient than closing and reopening VSC every time).
Any idea ?

VSC version 1.12.2
MacOS Sierra 10.12.5
rmate 1.5.9 (2017-02-10) on linux

Thanks

It fails when using rmate -w (for git commit messages, for example)

I didn't test this this scenario. So, I'm not surprise if it doesn't work. I will investigate the issue.

@rafaelmaiolla Any progress in this? I'm having the same issue.

There is something wrong with VSCode. It is not calling onDidCloseTextDocument as expected. So, it is not possible to identify that the file is closed.

In my tests, it is taking 3 min for the VSCode to call the onDidCloseTextDocument. I'll need to check if there is anything open regarding this issue.

I open an issue for vscode microsoft/vscode#30820

While that is being sorted out, maybe you can create a new command >Remote: Close All Files. The command will close any editor tabs open via remote and close files properly.

It seems that it stop working in version 1.13.1.

Version 1.12.2 is working as expected.

@rafaelmaiolla Where did you get up to with this? I want to use VS Code as my Git Editor. Currently works fine for editing files normally, but using rmate -w as Git Editor doesn't send the edit back to the server/ssh session, and just hangs.

@LukeIreland1, last time I investigated this, it was an issue in VS Code. Something changed there and the related functions were not being called when that was closed.
I opened a ticket for them, but it was closed.

I've ended up changing the python version of rmate client, by adding tm_sock.settimeout(60 * 60 * 24) as a kludge to kill rmate after 24 hours.
