Updating Eldoc echo area after jumping with consult-flymake

[ashlineldridge]

When calling commands like flymake-goto-next-error, the Eldoc echo area is updated when jumping to a Flymake error. Additionally, Eldoc has the eldoc-add-command and eldoc-add-command-completions functions for registering additional commands that should trigger an update of Eldoc. For example, I have added this line to my config:

(eldoc-add-command-completions "xref-find-" "xref-go-" "xref-goto-")

So that jumping with Xref causes Eldoc to update. However, when I try to do the same with consult-flymake it doesn't work (e.g. (eldoc-add-command "consult-flymake")). I have eldoc-echo-area-prefer-doc-buffer set to t and if Eldoc buffer is visible then consult-flymake will trigger an update of the Eldoc buffer. But if the Eldoc buffer is not visible, I can't seem to get consult-flymake to update the Eldoc echo area like I can with other commands. I have also tried using :after advice but didn't have any luck there either.

Any tips?

Hmm, I haven't tried, but I suspect that the Consult preview is the problem since the buffer is updated while the completion command is still running. Maybe it is possible to trigger Eldoc somehow via the consult-after-jump-hook.
