Disable for specific file types

[Farzad Majidfayyaz]

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to disable ultest altogether for specific file types.

Use case: I'm setting MANPAGER to neovim, and when I open a man page, ultest gives an error (there are no tests to run for a man page 😆). I tried to check :h ultest-config, but looking quickly, I didn't find any settings to achieve that

Thank you

Can you elaborate more on the error you're getting? There should be no issue for files that aren't test files so it's something else that's going wrong. Also can you show exactly how you're using neovim as a manpager?

[Farzad Majidfayyaz]

Sure @rcarriga , sorry if I didn't provide enough information.

As for configuring neovim as the manager, I do this (I saw it on Reddit)

export MANPAGER='nvim +Man!'

And, as for the error I get, an example for when I do man ls:

Error: vim-ultest encountered an unknown error on startup, check v:exception

I tried to do :echo v:exception, but I'm not sure if that's the proper way to do it 😝

[Rónán Carrigan]

I can't reproduce the issue unfortunately. echo v:exception should work but you can remove the catch statement for the error to show itself, just remove these lines https://github.com/rcarriga/vim-ultest/blob/master/autoload/ultest/handler.vim#L20-L25 in your local repo.

Hey @rcarriga , I commented out the catch block, and this seems to be the exception:

Thanks for the error, this should be fixed in latest commit now!

[Farzad Majidfayyaz]

Nice @rcarriga , updated the plugin and the error seems to be gone, thank you

But still, I think, it would be nice if there was an option in vim-ultest to allow disabling the plugin for specific file types (maybe even with regex support)
