Filetype set after buffer window is created (maybe)

[akinsho]

Awesome thanks for the super quick fix 🚀

I'll look into using the LuaTreeNormal hl group forgot that was an option

[kyazdani42]

this is strange indeed, I'll try to fix this today.

well i cannot find why it behaves that way. the filetype is set on buffer creation before being set to the window.
Could you provide me with the commands you are trying to run so i can test that issue deeper please ?

@kyazdani42 I've just tried reproducing it locally using

call plug#begin(stdpath('data') . '/plugged')
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons' " for file icons
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua'
call plug#end()

augroup Setup
  autocmd!
  autocmd FileType LuaTree setlocal statusline=This\ is\ Lua\ Tree
  autocmd FileType LuaTree set winhighlight=Normal:ErrorMsg
augroup END

If you run either of those commands inside the lua tree buffer on their own i.e.
:set winhighlight=Normal:ErrorMsg that works but if you try and trigger this via an autocommand it doesn't work. Is that buffer ignoring autocommands somehow?

[kyazdani42]

for winhighlight, it happens because i set a winhighlight for Normal during window creation so it would override yours. You have documentation for winhighlights i believe (or at least i wrote which one i declare)
You can still add winhighlights that i don't declare with winhighliht+=
you might want to change the LuaTreeNormal hl group for this one.
Im going to investigate for your statusline thing but i tried other things and it just works.

i moved some buffer local after window initialization and i set the filetype after buffer is set to the window, so everything should work as expected now.
