FocusGained doesn't work about vim-gitgutter

[airblade]

@hoschi Your version text looks fine to me.

Are you using gvim or terminal vim? Terminal vim doesn't trigger FocusGained, I believe.

Please could you show me any vim-gitgutter configuration you have in your vimrc?

Finally, does it work if you do :call GitGutterAll()?

[hoschi]

You are right terminal vim doesn't trigger FocusGained. Because of that, I tried gvim and was wordering why it also didn't work.

This is my config for git gutter:

" git gutter
let g:gitgutter_sign_column_always = 1
nmap <silent> ]h :<C-U>execute v:count1 . "GitGutterNextHunk"<CR>
nmap <silent> [h :<C-U>execute v:count1 . "GitGutterPrevHunk"<CR>

I updated my repo this morning and it still doesn't work with FocusGained. When I call the function you mentioned the gutter doesn't update. Only on a write operation.

Thanks for pasting your config; it's fine.

vim-gitgutter always shows the difference between the saved file and the staged file. If you have unsaved changes in Vim, calling vim-gitgutter again – either via FocusGained or via :call GitGutterAll() – won't change the signs. It's not (yet) a realtime diff, it's what you would get if you ran git diff in the terminal.

So when vim-gitgutter is triggered, the signs will change only if either the git index has changed or you have saved additional changes to the working copy of the file.

Are you saying FocusGained and :call GitGutterAll() don't do anything for you when you have changed the git index or changed the working copy of the file?

Ahhhh ok :) Sorry ^^
I thought it should refresh the signs which reflect not saved changes to my file on FocusGained. If I save the file or change the git index it updates, so you can close the 'issue' ;) Thanks for the explanation.

I'm glad we figured it out. Sorry for the confusion.

Issue #33 is about signs for unsaved changes – but I'm not sure when I'll be able to tackle it.
