Exclude certain buffers from being restored?

[fredrikaverpil]

When I have Neotree and the Neotest summary window opened upon exit, I get unwanted buffers restored when restoring the session with require("persistence").load(). I don't want those two to ever be restored.

Is there a way I can exclude those two buffers?
I believe their types are neo-tree filesystem and Neotest Summary.

It seems like I can get rid of them by setting this, but is it the right way?

vim.opt.sessionoptions = "curdir,folds,help,tabpages,winsize,terminal"

I use persistance with the default settings: https://github.com/fredrikaverpil/dotfiles/blob/21b63c6db4b0e3f3ba63d8cd1d85105199b0bb47/nvim-fredrik/lua/plugins/persistance.lua

you can check what I do in LAzyVim

Found your persistance config through this low-effort search: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ALazyVim%2FLazyVim%20sessionoptions&type=code

I'm a bit confused when I've now seen your config.

1. According to the nvim 0.10 docs, the type of sessionoptions should be a string, not a table. EDIT: I see now that it seems Neovim is fine with this being a table too 🪄
2. You are calling get() on vim.opt.sessionoptions there ... but why are you doing that... is that really valid? It doesn't seem like LSP/lazydev can handle it as I get an "undefined field 'get'" error there.
3. You are specifying options in the persistance opts. I can't see anything in the persistance lua code that uses that.

Anyay, omitting blank from the list of words solves my issue 😄 👍

1. vim.opt is different. Check the Neovim help
2. that's how vim.opt works. Again check the docs.
3. that should indeeed be removed. It's an old persistence option

Nice, thanks - indeed, a case of RTFM (here) 😆
