Re: The screen is not updating after make

Hello

Silent should not have been the issue.

But I forgot about :redraw! :) Hopefully that will solve the problem...

Thanks for all the response.

Regards

how about:

command -nargs=* Make {
        silent make! <args>
        if len(getqflist()) > 0
                copen
        endif
        redraw!

So maybe you shouldn't use silent then?

Re: The screen is not updating after make

Hello

That silent in the command is the vim silent command/annotation (or whatever that is)

I do not use a mapping, sorry not to answer your question, but, out of
interest, does '.SILENT;'  in the 'Makefile' not work for you ?
('make' also has a CLI option to "silence" it).

The screen is not updating after make

Hello,

I have a mapping like this:

command! -nargs=* Make silent make! <args> | if len(getqflist()) > 0 | copen | endif

Whenever I do call this command, the screen does not update. The screen is blank (where once was the source code displayed). and the quickfix window is sometimes left blank too.

This was the case when I was using :make with this.

I am using vim version 9.0.

VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Nov 24 2023 12:59:56)
Included patches: 1-2127

Does anybody have the same problem?

Regards
