Build 3010

I am seeing an issue with Build 3010 where if you create a global variable in plugin_loaded, it does not always make it to globals.

For instance, if I create a settings object to access later, I find that sometimes it won't exist when the plugin gets loaded:

Code: Select all

def plugin_loaded():
    global sh_settings
    sh_settings = sublime.load_settings('scope_hunter.sublime-settings')

And then when the plugin tries to access it later:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_plugin.py", line 205, in on_selection_modified
    callback.on_selection_modified(v)
  File "C:\Users\muse_i\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\ScopeHunter\scope_hunter.py", line 178, in on_selection_modified
    self.clear_regions(view)
  File "C:\Users\muse_i\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\ScopeHunter\scope_hunter.py", line 171, in clear_regions
    if self.enabled and bool(sh_settings.get("highlight_extent", False)) and len(view.get_regions("scope_hunter")):
NameError: global name 'sh_settings' is not defined

I have at least confirmed this on Windows so far.

It appears what actually happened is a little weirder. I was dynamically importing some library based on the system platform inside of plugin_loaded on the first plugin, and that caused some kind of error, then in the second plugin I was seeing the issue where the settings initialization in the other plugin in plugin_loaded did not work. There seems to be some kind of dynamics involved if one plugin screws up in plugin_loaded, others can have side-effects in plugin_loaded as well.

So today's my first day with my new rMBP and the performance of scrolling on ST2 leaves **much** to be desired.

I actually came onto the forum here to start a thread about how I figured that using a GPU texture buffer to perform scrolling would help for the framerate and also would provide a battery life improvement.

Needless to say I am glad to find out about this build

Is there any way I can evaluate it without ponying up 70 bones? I've been spending a lot lately.

Update: Just went through with my purchase. Went quite smoothly, too, I like the process (and how I am free to install on all my computers). Already gotten a hell of a lot more than $70 worth of productivity out of ST2 already anyhow.
