reload current file from a plugin

[vim]

Any of you happen to know how can i reload the content of the current file from a plugin? In my plugin i update the file contents using an external program, and at the end i want the view to reflect the updated file contents.

i tried adding the following to my plugin:

Code: Select all

f = view.fileName();
wnd = view.window()
wnd.reloadFile(f, 0, 0)


OR

Code: Select all

view.runCommand('revert')

but none seems to work, any suggestions?

[vim]

i found a workaround:

Code: Select all

f = view.fileName();
s = open(file, 'r').read()
region = sublime.Region(0L, view.size())
view.replace(region, s)


If you think on a more elegant solution please let me know.

cheers!

Try this:

Code: Select all

import sublime, sublimeplugin
import functools

class ThingyCommand(sublimeplugin.TextCommand):
   def run(self, view, args):
      # ...code to write out file here
      sublime.setTimeout(functools.partial(view.runCommand, 'revert'), 0)


revert is somewhat byzantine, due mostly to file loading being async: it won't work correctly unless it's in the top level of an undo group, so you have to run it via setTimeout, rather than within a command.

great! thanks
