Not read mounted directory (sshfs)

[lvim-tech]

nvim-tree not read directory when mounted with sshfs.
Any ideas?

Hi, i'm not sure if there are some things we need to implement in order to use the tree in remote filesystems. I will check this out when i have some time.

@kyazdani42 Thanks in advance

It would be really lovely, being able to use it over mounted sshfs folders.

I have the same problem with sshfg

[kyazdani42]

it's an issue with fuse and libuv, you need to set UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE to a higher value when launching neovim to allow libuv to wait for the files to load (because the fs is asynchronous)

I have tried set UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE 64, 128, 1024, 10000, 100000 and even a million, but it has no effect.

not sure then, i'm not a libuv expert myself :/ i'll try to see if other plugins have tackled this issue

I tried Defx and NerdTree, both work well.

[kyazdani42]

i guess so but none of them uses the libuv unfortunately (which makes this plugin fast). I'm not sure but maybe because i use synchronous libuv calls it fails, if i could manage to list the entries asynchronously, it might fix this issue.

fixes in 7abec5e. Actually fs_scandir wasn't returning the file type which made all entries being ignored, running an fs_stat fixed the issue :)

Perfect! Works! Thank you, @kyazdani42 !
