Edits from client not appearing on server about instant.nvim HOT 5 CLOSED

I assume you're running the built-in lua server (started with :InstantStartServer). I guess a good starting point would me to give the messages emitted by the server and clients as well if possible. By messages I mean the history displayed by :messages.

Any other strange behaviour would certainly help.

from instant.nvim.

I am using the built-in lua server, with SpaceVim (latest) and Neovim 0.5.0

With set verbose=1

On the server when I make an edit I see the following in both the server's and clients messages:

Reading ShaDa file "/Users/me/.local/share/nvim/shada/main.shada" info marks oldfiles
Writing ShaDa file "/Users/me/.local/share/nvim/shada/main.shada"

When editing on the client, no such output is generated on either.

Note sure if maybe I'm doing something wrong; these are my steps to connect:

Server

1. InstantStartServer
2. InstantStartSession 127.0.0.1 8080
3. e temp.txt

Client

1. InstantJoinSession 127.0.0.1 8080
2. InstantFollow kayleg <- Username set in config
3. Switch to buffer 2 (shows the temp.txt file)

from instant.nvim.

Update:

When using Single instead of Session it works every time following these steps:

Server

1. open neovim
2. open empty buffer
3. InstantStartServer
4. InstantStartSingle 127.0.0.1 8080

Client

1. open neovim
2. open empty buffer
3. InstantJoinSingle 127.0.0.1 8080

With Single mode the client is correctly switched to the server's buffer and bi-directional editing works

from instant.nvim.

The changes from the client are not sent probably because it's in follow mode, initiated by InstartFollow. If you don't start it or invoke InstantStopFollow, you should be able to send keystrokes from the client.

Note that even though the client doesn't seem to receive any input, the text modifications are still sent. You can list the available buffers using :ls and switch to the same buffer as the server to see the changes, temp.txt in the case you described.

Was it resolved @kayleg ?
