Is there a way to auto open a newly added file in buffer?

[jacobrreed]

When i press a and add a file, is there a way to make it auto open that new file in buffer?

[jacobrreed]

        {
          event = "file_added",
          handler = function(file_path)
            require("neo-tree.command").execute({ action = "open" })
          end,
        },

tried this but doesnt work, not sure if theres a way to pass file_path to open action?

cc @pysan3 since you seem to have answered about file_added event before

I hope this works.

      {
        event = "file_added",
        handler = function(destination)
          local manager = require("neo-tree.sources.manager")
          local cc = require("neo-tree.sources.filesystem.commands")
          local uv = vim.loop
          local file_info = uv.fs_stat(destination)
          if file_info and file_info.type == "file" then
            vim.schedule(function()
              cc.open(manager.get_state_for_window())
            end)
          end
        end,
      },

almost, it seems to bork because im using follow file, so after I press a to add, add the file, my actual selection is whatever file i have open in buffer, so it just focus the buffer i have open instead

You can update @pysan3's answer to use the utils.open_file method:

      {
        event = "file_added",
        handler = function(destination)
          local manager = require("neo-tree.sources.manager")
          local utils = require("neo-tree.utils")
          local uv = vim.loop
          local file_info = uv.fs_stat(destination)
          if file_info and file_info.type == "file" then
            vim.schedule(function()
              utils.open_file(manager.get_state_for_window(), destination)
            end)
          end
        end,
      },

This is untested but it will probably work...

Thanks, this works perfectly
