error message: couldn't make stderr distinct from stdout about cmake-tools.nvim

[Amleto]

I made pull request:

#107

[Amleto]

ok, PR updated. Lets try again ^_^

Can this solve your problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11868017/couldnt-make-stderr-distinct-from-stdout-when-running-cygwin-commands ?

[Amleto]

What, exactly?

[Civitasv]

Can’t you see the stackoverflow link?

[Amleto]

Yes, what part of it? I don't have cygwin and there are multiple aspects in that link so I don't know what you're referring to.

btw, I only have one 'touch' binary in my path.

[Civitasv]

Okay, I understand. But I don’t know if this problem is related to cmake-tools.nvim. The error message is not very specific.

[Amleto]

Ok, I understand it might not be from cmake-tools, but something is still going wrong and not logged.

[Civitasv]

Yes. Maybe a Window’s issue.

[Amleto]

On windows should cmake-tools even be trying to use 'touch'?

[Civitasv]

On windows should cmake-tools even be trying to use 'touch'?

No, it doesn’t. I mean this maybe a issue of neovim on Windows.

[Amleto]

whats this?

[Civitasv]

Oh, sorry for forgetting this. It uses this to generate session files.

[Civitasv]

Then maybe that’s the reason. Can you test it by removing this line?

[Amleto]

I checked by comparing behaviour with those lines commented vs uncommented. I can verify that is the cause of the error message.

[Civitasv]

Interesting, i wonder if it will popup error if you directly execute the touch command. Maybe the reason is that users don’t have write permission to that directory?

[Amleto]

I closed the PR due to the exception seen (attached in the PR).

There needs to be more changes - I didn't check that the supplied 'path' variable would be correct, which it seems not to be - I added a debug print,

local function init_session()
  init_cache()

  local path = get_current_path()
  if not utils.file_exists(path) then
    local file = io.open(path, 'w')
    if file then
      file:close()
    else
      print("file not opened " .. path)
    end
  end
end

and it revealed this:

file not opened C:\Users\<username>/AppData/Local/cmake_tools_nvim/D:\Coding\C++\Projects\simple-cmake.lua

[Amleto]

So I think this needs adjusting as well

local function get_current_path()
  local current_path = vim.loop.cwd()
  local clean_path = current_path:gsub("/", "")
  return get_cache_path() .. clean_path .. ".lua"; -- <<<<
end

[Civitasv]

Yes, clean_path should be properly handled for each OS.

Fixed by #107.
