Recover Buffer-Compile Files
Restores any file left holding unsaved-buffer content after a Compile Buffer (unsaved) run was interrupted (for example by a crash).
Read this if a Compile Buffer (unsaved) run was interrupted, for example by a crash. It restores any file left holding the unsaved-buffer content so no unit keeps overlaid text instead of its saved original; the IDE can run it for you.
Where to click
- drag-lint About window, button Recover Buffer-Compile Files
Details
Restores any file left holding unsaved-buffer content after a Compile Buffer (unsaved) run was interrupted (for example by a crash). Reach for it, or let the IDE run it automatically, so no unit is left holding overlaid content instead of its saved original.
Running it from the CLI
The feature map lists this action's CliVerb as "(none - in-process)", but
this IDE action actually runs the ghost-recover verb. It prints no
usage banner: running it bare exits 0 and prints
ghost-recover: nothing pending. when there is nothing to recover. The
plugin invokes it as:
drag-lint ghost-recover "<project>"Reaching it in the IDE
drag-lint > Recover Buffer-Compile Files
What it needs
The feature map marks this row's Index column "n/a". It needs the project path so it can look for pending recovery state for that project.
Example
Illustrative only:
drag-lint ghost-recover "C:\Projects\MyApp\MyApp.dproj"This would check for any file left overlaid by an interrupted Compile Buffer (unsaved) run and restore it to its saved original.
