System-wide nvchad for 2.5

[aleixq]

In previous 2.0 I could install nvchad systemwide. to benefit of shared initial configs, mappings... for many users. But I am having troubles with 2.5. Maybe I am lazy, but do you have any idea about how can I get it working again.

I get:

Error detected while processing /etc/xdg/nvim/sysinit.vim[2]../etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter/init.lua:

sysinit.vim is:

set runtimepath+=/etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter
source /etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter/init.lua

Adding in lua/configs/lazy.lua:

  performance = {
    rtp = {
+      reset = false,
      disabled_plugins = {

is a workaround, but I see

Re-sourcing your config is not supported with lazy.nvim
Error detected while processing /etc/xdg/nvim/sysinit.vim[2]../etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter/init.lua:
Invalid spec module: `plugins`
Expected a `table` of specs, but a `boolean` was returned instead

But it seems it works

[siduck]

no idea about this, do other nvim configs work?

[aleixq]

Yes, By now everything works but some part(s?) of the theme, e.g. the toggle:

chadrc is a must for using nvchad

[aleixq]

Yes,yes, I know it, and in fact is used /etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter/lua/chadrc.lua , but it seems that settings are only read just the first time, as it lets me set the theme for example. But afterward, /etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter/lua/chadrc.lua is not used anymore. So I cannot change the theme, or use theme_toggle.

[aleixq]

Just to note, that adding /root/.config/nvim/lua/chadrc.lua makes it working as it should. But it will be great to let define it system-wide and read the settings from /etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter/lua/chadrc.lua . Maybe too adapted to my use case...

[siduck]

/etc/xdg/nvim/lua/chadrc.lua

that should be the real path, the starter repo is basically ~/.config/nvim i.e a nvim config

[aleixq]

/etc/xdg/nvim/lua/chadrc.lua

that should be the real path, the starter repo is basically ~/.config/nvim i.e a nvim config

Despite this in /etc/xdg/nvim/sysinit.vim ? :

set runtimepath+=/etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter
source /etc/xdg/nvim/NvChad_starter/init.lua

i honestly have no idea about this xdg stuff, you should ask in our discord server, someone might help!

[aleixq]

It seems that some other people are having issues with lazy and global config:https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim/issues/636 . My last major issue was the python provider (I need this for plugin vdebug) that only runs ok the first time. So I think that the issue comes from lazy, and so is not in your field.

Anyway I've switched to nvim-dap and everything runs fine.

Thank's !

[siduck]

for python provider check https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad/issues/1417

[aleixq]

for python provider check NvChad/NvChad#1417

These lines are there, and checkhealth shows everything fine. In fact, as said before, it works fine the first time that nvim is run (when no ~/.config/nvim ~/.cache/nvim or ~/.local/share/nvim exists yet).
