Running `:make` from vim in a terminal dumps to bash while waiting for xbuild

Open allykzam opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

Runs xbuild fine, shows any issues, and then stops with Press ENTER or type command to continue; pressing enter brings vim back up. Would be nice if xbuild could be run in the background, with its results opened in either a new tab or window after it finishes. cc/ @kjnilsson

You could try using this plugin: https://github.com/tpope/vim-dispatch

That did get brought up, @kjnilsson asked if I could post this here anyway because it looks like vim's system() function runs things in the background as desired. Don't know if he got anywhere with it.

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet however I tried vim-dispatch and it works great - it's a keeper for me. It doesn't show you all the command output (not sure if there are any options for this) but given errors and warnings are added to the quickfix I am not sure why it is required. Perhaps I am missing something here. :)
