New File getting opened in floating window. about nvim-tree.lua

[alex-courtis]

Reproduced.

Removed this and the issue goes away:

    -- This will make sure that newly created file get's open to edit
    api.events.subscribe(api.events.Event.FileCreated, function(file)
      vim.cmd("edit " .. file.fname)
    end)

What's the purpose of that event?

It resolves the issue kindda.
I had that snippet to instantly open the file in edit mode as soon as created.
i guess i need to add a vim.cmd to close nvimTree before opening the buffer in edit mode.

Is there any way i can check if NvimTree is in floating mode or not?

It will float depending on your view.float.enable setting, although I don't think that's quite what your asking.

Perhaps you are after :help nvim-tree-api.tree.is_visible()

[alex-courtis]

or perhaps :help nvim-tree-api.tree.winid()

Thanks for the help @alex-courtis.

After seeing the help options you mentioned, I came up with the snippet below That closes NvimTree if new file is created.

-- This will make sure that newly created file get's open to edit
api.events.subscribe(api.events.Event.FileCreated, function(file)
local win_id = api.tree.winid()
if win_id ~= nil then
  vim.cmd([[NvimTreeClose]])
end
vim.cmd("edit " .. file.fname)
end)
