Not updating when using WSL

[carschandler]

Hey there! I'm interested in using Typst and am a neovim user, so I found your plugin. I love the idea, but when I run TypstPreview, I get the preview but it doesn't update as I type or even when I write the changes. I can get an updated version by toggling the preview off and back on. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with me running the plugin on WSL... it's an Arch Linux install, but I also use nix. I see that the typst-preview-linux-x64 is dynamically linked, so maybe that's part of the issue.

Hi,

I believe that #18 will fix your issue. It seems that the PR's author is running into the same issue as you are.

[carschandler]

Sweet thanks for the info! I’ll try it out and let you know.

@carschandler can you try it now that #18 has been merged ? thanks If on nix*-unstable just install the dependencies , add their bin names/paths to the config as shown in the README and you should be fine. If on any other channel other than unstable the typst-preview version provided wont work

@LamprosPitsillos I just tried today and I was able to successfully add the paths manually and get the preview to open again, but unfortunately it is still having the same issue I originally described. I wonder if this is a problem with the nix package... have you been able to get it working using nix? I'm on the newest version of the lua plugin and I'm also on typst-preview v.0.10.8.

FWIW, I tried this using both my Arch+Nix and NixOS WSL distros. I can try it using pure NixOS when I get home.

Does :messages not show anything?

Only when debug = true in my config.

This is the initial log I get after :TypstPreview and then it stays here even if I start typing or write the file.
