nvim error in init.lua

This error comes up on both Mac and Linux. Please advise how to revert to version 2 or put the fix for version 3.

You are trying to call the setup function of indent-blankline version 2, but you have version 3 instal led. Take a look at the GitHub wiki for instructions on how to migrate, or revert back to version 2.

Yep, very annoying... here is an easy fix. Go into plugins.lua and add the commit line as below:

  use { 
    "lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim", 
    commit = "9637670896b68805430e2f72cf5d16be5b97a22a" 
    -- still need to merge to V3 to avoid this
  }

At some point I will merge to V3, but that will require more changes to the indentline.lua config file.

unfortunately, it still persists. I get the same error

Did you update packer? You could try :PackerClean and :PackerUpdate.

Thanks. Running those commands gave this errors:

after hitting ENTER, this warning:

after packer finishes, in the popup dialog this message:

Failed to update lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim After quitting nvim, restarting it gave no error! Voila!!

Is the initial error in async.lua expected? Out of abundance of caution, I reverted the plugins.lua change you recommended and did the same packer clean/update routines, and there were no errors reported out of async.lua

I don't think so. Sometimes to update a package you have to restart nvim. So I think you should be all good. At some point I will merge to V3 so as to avoid pinning that commit. How to do this is explained on the indent-blankline github but I haven't found the time.
