Walkthrough

The changes introduce a new variable s:Lambda that imports the Lambda module from vital#fern. A caching mechanism for the list_drives function is implemented specifically for Windows, initializing a cache variable s:list_drives_cache to v:null. The function checks for cached values before executing a command to list drives using wmic, processes the output, and stores the results in the cache. This implementation aims to improve the efficiency of the list_drives function by reducing redundant calls.

Objective Addressed Explanation
Windows: Disconnected network drive causes fern to freeze (501)

🐰 In the code, we hop and play,
Caching drives to save the day!
No more waits, just quick delight,
With s:Lambda, all feels right!
A nimble fix, so swift and neat,
In the world of Fern, we can't be beat! 🌟

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    -- I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    -- Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    -- @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    -- @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    -- @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    -- @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    -- @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    -- @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

4-4: Summary: Effective caching mechanism implemented for Windows drive listing

The changes introduce a caching mechanism for the list_drives function on Windows, which should significantly improve performance, especially in scenarios involving disconnected network drives. This implementation directly addresses the objectives outlined in the PR and should help resolve the freezing issue described in #501.

Key points:

  1. The Lambda module is imported for cache management.
  2. A cache variable is initialized and checked before executing the wmic command.
  3. The cache is updated with the latest results after each execution.

These changes are well-structured, consistent with the existing codebase, and should provide a noticeable performance improvement for Windows users of the Fern plugin.

To further enhance this implementation, consider:

  1. Implementing a cache invalidation mechanism (as suggested in a previous comment).
  2. Adding a configurable cache expiration time to ensure that the cached drive list doesn't become stale over extended periods.
  3. Providing a way for users to manually refresh the drive list if needed.

These additions would make the caching mechanism more robust and flexible for various use cases.

4-4: LGTM: Lambda module import added

The addition of the Lambda module import is consistent with the existing import style and is necessary for the new caching mechanism implemented later in the file.


61-61: LGTM: Cache initialization added

The cache initialization is correctly placed within the Windows-specific section and uses v:null to indicate an unset cache, which is appropriate.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

LGTM: Caching mechanism implemented for list_drives

The caching mechanism for the list_drives function is well-implemented and addresses the performance issue described in the PR objectives. This should help mitigate the freezing issue described in the linked issue #501, especially when dealing with disconnected network drives.

A minor suggestion for improvement:

Consider adding a cache invalidation mechanism or a way to refresh the cache. This could be useful in scenarios where drive configurations change dynamically. For example:

function! fern#scheme#file#util#invalidate_drives_cache() abort
  let s:list_drives_cache = v:null
endfunction

This function could be called when necessary to force a refresh of the drives list.
