Tide mode broken in temp buffers

[Eli Barzilay]

(Apologies if this is known, I can't look at where exactly this is coming from...)

When tide is used for a temp buffer (which means that there is no file that holds the content) I keep getting errors like the below. It's particularly bad since I'm using magit, which tends to create such buffers in many cases (ie, to show a file at a particular commit, which is not actually in the FS).

yes, tide needs a buffer backed by real file. There is some support for indirect buffer like org-mode, where we send the full contents to tsserver instead of just the filename.

In magit case, it's better to not enable tide mode at all. But I can't find a reliable way to detect it's a magit buffer.

Related, but not completely (tell me if needs a separate issue), I’m struggling in getting tide to work with org-mode.

More specific when I’m working with tangled files, which I know the destination path, so I declare buffer-filename and tide-active-buffer-file-name on org-babel-edit-prep:typescript.

It seems not working also because tide-require-manual-setup remains t even if I explicit set to nil in the hook mention above.

Is there a way to get full featured tide when knowing the destination path of a tanglable (not sure that is a correct word) buffer?

Seems that this is somehow possible with lsp-mode but I didn’t give it a try.

Thanks for making tide!

@M3kH looks like a regression, I can't get it to work either. Could you open a separate issue to track this
