Using `run` option to run commands

[Ultra-Code]

@savq I suggest having this example snippets in the readme. I have been try to make this work for a long time till now with the exact same plugin. It will be good to see an example of using run in the readme and this plugin is also widely used so I bet a lot of users have hit the readme just like did but didn't find any useful example on run. The docs is good though , and I read it but it didn't mention anything on nvim/vim commands . Good job done at creating this simple yet powerful plugin package manager .

Why not use vim.cmd?

[kovasap]

But I want to do this on install of a package, not every vim bootup

@kovasap

 paq{ 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter', run=vim.cmd('TSUpdate') }

is all it should take. Or am I missing something

[kovasap]

Ohhh, I didn't realize that's what you meant! That should work perfectly.

May want to close the issue if it is solved

[kovasap]

Sorry was replying on phone via email.

@kovasap

 paq{ 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter', run=vim.cmd('TSUpdate') }

This doesn't work because the function in run is called as soon as nvim is opened. I got around this by wrapping vim.cmd("TSUpdate") in another function so I can write it like ... run = wrapper, without parenthesis.

Otherwise you'd get an error:

Vim:E492: Not an editor command: TSUpdate

[kovasap]

Oh yes that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification.

[savq]

@Mrfiregem is correct. run can take a function so to wrap :TSUpdate one would write:

 paq {'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter', run=function() vim.cmd 'TSUpdate' end}

With the latest changes, the run command will only run when there have actually been changes in the plugin repo,
so you might see the hook message a lot less often.

I am trying to use the run command but get errors! (Neovim 0.7)

failed to run hook for fzf, failed to install fzf
failed to run hook for nvim-treesitter, failed to install fzf

Can anyone help?

require 'paq' {
  'savq/paq-nvim',
  'junegunn/fzf.vim',

  {
    'junegunn/fzf',
    run = function()
      vim.cmd './install --all'
    end,
  },

  {
    'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter',
    run = function()
      vim.cmd 'TSUpdate'
    end,
  },
}

[Ultra-Code]

@David-Else you should rather be doing something like this {"junegunn/fzf", run = vim.fn['fzf#install']()} because from what https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#as-vim-plugin say you have to run fzf#install() which is an autoload fn and vim.fn is how to call autoload fn's in lua

[David-Else]

@Ultra-Code Thanks! Unfortunately I get this error:

E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: Vim:E117: Unknown function: fzf#install
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'fzf#install'

Can you help? Cheers!

[Ultra-Code]

@David-Else
It should be this instead

 {
        "junegunn/fzf",
        run = function()
            vim.fn["fzf#install"]()
        end,
    },

but this also gives the error below which shouldn't be so

detected an error while processing fzf#install:

E605: the excepcion /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/install not found ,didn't get caught

I get this same error when I execute :call fzf#install()
but :call fzf#run(fzf#wrap({'source': 'ls'})) works. I'm using NVIM v0.7.0 . I suggest you report this to fzf upstream. It looks like this isn't a lua or paq-nvim issue
The error is triggered by the line below in fzf#install. You can check the function with :verbose function fzf#install

if !executable(script)                                                                                                          
     throw script.' not found'                                                                                                     
endif

@Ultra-Code Cheers! I have just removed the plugin instead and will install it manually.

[Ultra-Code]

@David-Else 😄 that works too
