does vim-slime support changing target from same buffer after vim started?

[pinggit]

sometime I want to use vimterminal as target, but some other time I prefer to use tmux. in my setup I set:

"when target is tmux
let g:slime_target = "tmux"
    let g:slime_default_config = {"socket_name": "default", "target_pane": "{down-of}"}

"when target is vimterminal
let g:slime_target = "vimterminal"
    let g:slime_vimterminal_cmd = "bash"
    let g:slime_python_ipython = 1
    let g:slime_vimterminal_config = {"term_finish": "close", "vertical": 1}
    let g:slime_vimterminal_config = {"vertical": 1}

so by default the vimterminal is used. which works fine.

however if I changed my mind, I thought I can just do:

let g:slime_target = "tmux"
:let g:slime_default_config = {"socket_name": "default", "target_pane": "{down-of}"}
:SlimeConfig

and expect the target moved to tmux, but I got a bunch of errors:

Error detected while processing function slime#config[2]..<SNR>188_SlimeDispatch[6]..<SNR>188_TmuxConfig:
line    4:
E716: Key not present in Dictionary: socket_name
E116: Invalid arguments for function input("tmux socket name or absolute path: ", b:slime_config["socket_name"])

the problem seems to happen only when I tried to change target from same buffer/tab. I tested in other buffer/tab it works fine.

Hi @pinggit

The g:slime* variables bootstrap the config when first invoked. Afterward, the config is copied to b: variables and cached.

Try :unlet b:slime_config and check if that helps matters

it work! thank you. I'll test it more and close this one soon.
