Can't setup plugin - Cannot convert `Null` to `Config`

[Heryz1]

Hello, I've never installed any plugins with wezterm and I tried to install modal.wezterm, but I couldn't achieve the installation.

My wezterm version is wezterm 20240203-110809-5046fc22, but I tried with an older version too.

My .wezterm.lua is :

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local config = {}

local modal = wezterm.plugin.require("https://github.com/MLFlexer/modal.wezterm")
modal.apply_to_config(config)

When I start wezterm, I have the following errors: In wezterm configuration error window:

Error converting lua value returned by script /home/toto/.wezterm.lua to
Config struct: error converting Lua nil to config::config::Config (Cannot
convert `Null` to `Config`)

In the other terminal:

18:48:42.618  ERROR  mux::connui > Configuration Error: Error converting lua value returned by script /home/toto/.wezterm.lua to Config struct: error converting Lua nil to config::config::Config (Cannot convert `Null` to `Config`)

Maybe I just don't know how to install a plugin with wezterm :P. Do you have any idea what is going on ?

Hi! 😃 If I'm not mistaken, then this is a configuration issue, as Wezterm will interpret the value returned from the .wezterm.lua file as the config. In this case you are not returning your configuration, so the return value is nil or Null.

To fix it I would add the following line to the end of your configuration file, .wezterm.lua: return config Or you can replace your configuration with what is below:

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local config = {}

local modal = wezterm.plugin.require("https://github.com/MLFlexer/modal.wezterm")
modal.apply_to_config(config)

return config

I hope this helps! 😄 If not, then let me know
