Update / Reload upon reveal of the NvimTree

[juhaku]

Hey,

I'd like a support for functionality where the diagnostics status and what not would be updated / reloaded upon NvimTree reveal? Is that currently possible? I did not see any configuration option that would enable such thing.

EDIT: There is nvim-tree.auto_reload_on_write that allows tree to update while being opened and a file is being written to. Also there is tree.reload() API that is tied to R command command and reload_on_bufenter configuration flag but non of these seem to give remedy to the situation. Like hitting R button does not seem to affect much to the state of the tree at least the diagnostics does not get updated. Same happens no matter I travel between different buffers. The only way for diagnostics to actually get updated seems to be by way of writing on buffer while keeping the NvimTree open.

I'm not quite sure what you are looking for.

Do you want to filter some statuses? Is there an issue with some statuses not being shown?

Here's a picture for a reference.

The thing is, when the NvimTree is open and a buffer is being written to the diagnostic icons and statuses gets updated to the NvimTree in realtime. However if I close the NvimTree and update the buffer with some content e.g. I would correct some errors that otherwise vim lsp diagnostics would catch and then I open the NvimTree again the old status is being shown in the NvimTree. It would be fantastic if the diagnostic information on that tree would be refreshed when NvimTree is revealed or reopened. Then it would help to catch issues earlier if some of the files has some diagnostic errors.

Does this explanation make it any clearer? 🙂
