infinite file opening loop

This happened first to me when I tried ctrl+shift+p to open up the settings.json. I wasn’t able to reproduce this in mac os and I think it just started happening recently. Anyway, the jist of it is that it just continuously opens new files. I get two errors in the console:

ERR nvim_win_close: Invalid window id: 1051: Error: Error making request to nvim_win_close
  at o.request (/home/joshua/.vscode-oss/extensions/asvetliakov.vscode-neovim-0.0.78/dist/extension.js:1:15853)
  at Timeout._onTimeout (/home/joshua/.vscode-oss/extensions/asvetliakov.vscode-neovim-0.0.78/dist/extension.js:3:101219)
  at listOnTimeout (internal/timers.js:549:17)
  at processTimers (internal/timers.js:492:7)

and

  ERR nvim_win_get_cursor: Invalid window id: 1060: Error: Error making request to nvim_win_get_cursor

	at processTimers (internal/timers.js:492:7)

But mostly the first window close error. I don’t know why this causes continuous new windows to open up, but when I disable the extension it stops it.

You can see what it looks like here:

As a side note, I thought maybe I could fix this myself and put in a pull request, but I don’t have a whole lot of time and I was having trouble getting into debugging the extension. I couldn’t really get it activated. If there’s a slack channel that can help me get up and running I can try to fix it myself.

Let me know! Thanks!

I applied @seandewar’s patch to the latest release of the plugin, and it works fine as far as I can tell.

If you want to use the plugin without downgrading neovim:

curl -L https://gist.github.com/kidonng/1f70b2e3de50b519483f6c79dd3d82e2/raw/6b865cec34f78475dc50b208b30563d337427543/extension.js > ~/.vscode/extensions/asvetliakov.vscode-neovim-0.0.78/dist/extensions.js

This command writes to a file named extensions.js, but the correct file is extension.js, which means the following is the correct command:

curl -L https://gist.github.com/kidonng/1f70b2e3de50b519483f6c79dd3d82e2/raw/6b865cec34f78475dc50b208b30563d337427543/extension.js > ~/.vscode/extensions/asvetliakov.vscode-neovim-0.0.78/dist/extension.js

How did the original comment get 6 positive reactions (at the time of writing) while having a typo, and thus not working, is beyond me. Nice solution overall though.

Released 0.0.79 with the fix. Thanks @seandewar !
