As the documentation suggests here, have a GtkSource.View object, i've retrieved its buffer and passed in as parameter in GtkSource.FileLoader.new . Basically here is my code:
# set file loader
file = GtkSource.File()
file.set_location(Gio.File.new_for_path('/home/ishan/Desktop/net_neutrality/index.html'))
x = GtkSource.FileLoader.new(self.code.get_buffer(), file)
#self.code refers to a GtkSource.View object
Now the main problem is, i see nothing loaded from the file. SourceView is blank. So am I supposed to call GtkSource.FileLoader.load_async in order to "sort of" trigger the loading? Or is it something else that i'm missing?
Yes you need to call load_async to load the file to the buffer.
