Imagine the following asynchronous job to convert a given file to odt :
let mdfile = 'testfile.md'
call jobstart (['bash', '-c', 'pandoc ' . mdfile . ' -s -f markdown -o test.odt'], {'on_exit': 'OnEvent'})
Is there a way to pass the mdfile variable to the OnEvent function ?
Have you tried partials?
{'on_exit': function('OnEvent', [parameters])}
This is what I do in lh-tags+lh-vim-lib to register things like: delete a temporary file and print a finished message on close_cb with vim -- I've never tried to use neovim.
on_err event, but is this possible to do it in the same function as the one called by on_exit ?
:h partial, but I haven't understood how I could use a dictionary for my use case... Any help would be grately appreciated, thanx !
close_cb, and I check the result of jobinfo(). See my async job queue object in lh-vim-lib.
