Neogit breaks when using Noice.nvim

[redyf]

Description

Everytime after confirming a commit on neogit, it spams an error. I noticed that it only happens when noice.nvim plugin is enabled. LazyGit works fine with noice.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.9.0 Build type: Release LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Operating system and version

NixOS 23.11.20230523.d30

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable noice.nvim and neogit
2. Stage files and try to commit
3. Confirm commit

Expected behavior

Message was succesfully commited after confirmation with no errors.

Actual behavior

Neogit spam an error after confirming the commit, it keeps showing up until I close neovim entirely!

Minimal config

vim.cmd([[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]])
vim.cmd([[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]])
local package_root = "/tmp/nvim/site/pack"
local install_path = package_root .. "/packer/start/packer.nvim"
local function load_plugins()
  require("packer").startup({
    {
      "wbthomason/packer.nvim",
      {
        "TimUntersberger/neogit",
        requires = {
          { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim" },
          { "sindrets/diffview.nvim" },
        },
        config = function()
          print("loaded neogit")
          require("neogit").setup()
        end,
      },
    },
   {
     "folke/noice.nvim",
     event = "VeryLazy",
     config = function()
       require("noice").setup {
         lsp = {
           hover = {
             enabled = false,
           },
           override = {
             ["vim.lsp.util.convert_input_to_markdown_lines"] = true,
             ["vim.lsp.util.stylize_markdown"] = true,
             ["cmp.entry.get_documentation"] = true,
           },
           signature = {
             enabled = false,
           },
        },

         presets = {
           bottom_search = true,         -- use a classic bottom cmdline for search
           command_palette = true,       -- position the cmdline and popupmenu together
           long_message_to_split = true, -- long messages will be sent to a split
           inc_rename = false,           -- enables an input dialog for inc-rename.nvim
           lsp_doc_border = false,       -- add a border to hover docs and signature help
        },
       }
     end,
     dependencies = {
       "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
     },
   },

    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = install_path .. "/plugin/packer_compiled.lua",
      display = { non_interactive = true },
    },
  })
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print("Installing neogit and dependencies.")
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--depth=1", "https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim", install_path })
end
load_plugins()
require("packer").sync()

I also encountered the exact same issue when a confirmation dialogue popped up, though I haven't used noice in some time.

Seems to perhaps be an issue with vim.fn.confirm no longer blocking the editor as it is now async as it needs to display a floating window render it.

I am not sure how noice does it; the default vim behaviour of vimscript confirm() is to stop/freeze everything and render a special prompt in the echo area, and then resume the scripting engine from where it was, none the wiser of the time passed.

Solution proposed: https://github.com/folke/noice.nvim/issues/232#issuecomment-1408183649

PR in neogit https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit/pull/441 with some opinionated and breaking changes. I will resurrect the discussion there and see what we can do.

Thank you for your help in bringing this up.

If its a problem of vim.fn.confirm being called from BufUnload (and causing buffer switching due to the nui popup), then could a potential solution be to simply "save" the contents of the buffer (and whatever is needed) and defer doing the actual work to after BufUnload? Like using vim.schedule or vim.defer_fn.

I've got some ideas for this - might be able to get to it soon.
