isamert / gracer Goto Github PK

It's part of the instructions for installing racer, so people should have it set automatically. Maybe pull in this environment variable if it exists and auto-populate the rust source textfield? It'd be nice if I could just have one setting for this repo and it'd propagate to racer and gracer.

Anytime I open a rust file the following error is printed to the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/manuel/.local/share/gedit/plugins/gracer/gracer.py", line 237, in do_match
    _, iter = context.get_iter()
TypeError: 'TextIter' object is not iterable

I have installed gracer as suggested via git pull into this directory. My system:

• gedit 3.14.0
• Debian 8.6 64
• Python2 2.7.9 and Python3.4.2 installed via normal package manager

Any thoughts?

Part of the installation process for racer is to add ~/.cargo/bin to your path. Now maybe not everyone does that, but if they did racer can just be run without the executable needing to be manually specified. With this and issue #3, gracer is automatically configured as soon as racer is installed.

This shortens the installation process to:

$ mkdir ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins
$ git clone https://github.com/isamert/gracer.git

And then updating gracer in the future is just

$ cd ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/gracer
$ git update

Thank you for making this, I like it!

A minor downside is that I see some noticeable lag at each keystroke when typing, especially if my CPU cores are busy (even though I’m running Cargo under nice).

Do you know if gedit’s UI is blocked while racer is running? If so, making things asynchronous would maybe reduce the perception of lag.

Or do you have other ideas for what could make things faster? Maybe having a long-running racer process rather than spawning a new one for every keystroke?
