Getting weird bugs with `:PaqClean`

[evantravers]

Thanks @savq. I believe that was it… I knew I was doing something odd. I just moved everything to the top of the file for now, and everything is golden.

I may try to some lua magic where I register a plugin and it's config and at the end require all the plugins and setup all the config… but that can wait.

Ahh, ok, the problem isn't that bad.

What's happening is that Neovim will raise an error when it gets to line 18 of your dotfiles, where you're defining your colorscheme. Neovim can't find it (since it isn't installed yet). When you enter Neovim again, it'll get to line 22, where there's a require call, etc.

I hadn't noticed because I source all my plugins at the top of my config, but you can still use your plugins as you have them now. It just needs a little bootstrapping.

Lazy solution:

Create a temporary file with a list of the plugins, install all of them, and then use your dotfiles as usual.

cd ~/.config/nvim/
cat init.lua | grep 'paq' > temp.lua
nvim -u temp.lua

The -u flag tells Neovim to use a different initialization file, once in Neovim you should be able to run :PaqInstall without issues.

Yep. There was a bug in v0.6.2. I pushed a patch a couple of hours before this issue. Hopefully when you downloaded paq again, it was the new version.

I'll keep this open for a couple of days to be completely sure that everything is working correctly.

:PaqInstall should be working fine though. If plugins weren't installed properly, the plugins probably weren't deleted properly and there are residual directories that cause git clone to fail.

I tried burning the folders to try and force Paq to install everything… but I'm still getting false numbers [1/3] to start with, then the next time I restart I'm getting [3/12] and I get the next batch… I assume I'm doing something wrong, but it's weird.

So running into this again… I checked :PaqLogOpen and found a bunch of "pulling without specifying a strategy" warnings, so I nuked ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/paqs/, reinstalled using the bash command from the README.md, and now I'm in incremental `:PaqInstall's again.

[evantravers]

I think part of the problem may be that I have killed nvim before it's done cloning it's current batch… there's a folder and repo, but it hasn't finished pulling/rebasing.

[savq]

Ok, the screenshot made it easy to see one of the problems. That's likely fixed now.

The message in the log is probably unrelated though 🤔

[evantravers]

I'm sure I'm doing something dumb… potentially my git config or $XDG_DATA_HOME? Unsure.

☝️ There's a recording of the incremental saving occurring… am I just following a bad practice with my nvim.lua?

No problem, I'm glad I could help. and sorry for the other inconveniences.
