make test fails, even on initial project creation

[raymond-w-ko]

Hello, am I missing something?

I tried creating a project with seed.sh, and immediately am getting:

Error detected while processing command line:
E5108: Error executing lua ...nvim/site/pack/packer/start/aniseed/lua/aniseed/core.lua:125: module 'nvim-project.main-test' not found:

I'm looking at the scripts and it seems like it can't find the compiled test from the example, even though runtimepath is being set correctly. Am I the only one getting this?

Is this related to me using the latest neovim builds from Git and not a stable version (v0.6.0-dev)?

If I comment out rm -rf test/lua in the test target, then it works the second time. Is this something like files not existing at startup means it will never exist to the rtp loader?

Another related bug concerning macros: I had to take out rm -rf lua in the compile Makefile target, or nvim does not see the output lua directory, and therefore cannot find the path to the copied over macros.fnl file.

E5108: Error executing lua ...m/site/pack/packer/start/aniseed/lua/aniseed/compile.lua:72: Could not open file: lua/nvim-project/macros.fnl

Hey sorry for the delay, I'm not sure what's going on here right now. It could be your Neovim version since they've been making a few breaking changes around plugin / Lua paths recently 😭 the best way to confirm that would be to launch it with stable Neovim and see if that works okay.

The only other thing I can think of is OS / path / dir name related issues. Like if you ran seed.sh in a directory with a name that I hadn't anticipated, with characters something didn't like...

I've personally never seen this and I can't reproduce it using the same project name (nvim-project). I can't easily try Neovim 0.6 since I'm on NixOS, I'd need to go fiddling with .nix files that I'm not hugely comfortable with 😅

Although maybe by this point you're not trying to use this project anymore 😬

I am currently still using this project: https://github.com/raymond-w-ko/nvim-sexp-edit Basically I am trying to (re)write something similar to: https://github.com/guns/vim-sexp but in Fennel+Lua Right now I am in the process of still learning about Fennel and thinking over how I want to approach things, but have been side tracked with video games 😅.

I just removed all the lines with rm in the Makefile, and it everything works fine so far.

I'm going with the theory that between your stable version and the latest in Git, something changed so if a directory doesn't exists on nvim startup or first Lua usage, then it never considers that it can get created without neovim restarting. Like a missing cache invalidation issue.

I'll revisit this when neovim 0.6 hits release candidate or is released.

I think I fixed this just now! It looks like Neovim 0.6 removed a feature that copied runtimepath items into the package.path, which I relied on. The :h lua docs say it still does this copying mechanic but I can't see it doing it any more, I've worked around this problem so hopefully it's fine now.

I'm experiencing this on my end still, with NeoVim 0.6, while working on a repo that uses Aniseed. I can't build when I include the tests. Removing the rm -rf lines succeeds however. This is with a current commit (through the Aniseed dependency scripts)

[Olical]

Ah I hadn't released, the change was made to the develop branch. Releasing the update now that fixed runtimepath stuff on Neovim 0.6 for me.

I still can't reproduce this 🤔 I just created a fresh seeded project and it worked fine. I'm guessing you would still run into this issue though...

[raymond-w-ko]

With the latest neovim and/or aniseed everything works for me now, so I am closing this now.
