Module 'lspinstall' not found

[Silipwn]

I've been seeing this issue for sometime while checking this project out, I'm not exactly sure how this is triggered. I've tried setup everything 4 times, and I usually end up at this error.

I manage to get everything installed but on reload, this comes up.

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: /home/silipwn/.config/nvim/lua/doom/core/config/init.lua:421: module 'lspinstall' not found:                                     
        no field package.preload['lspinstall']                                        
        no file './lspinstall.lua'
.....

Is there something I'm missing to configure?

When I run ls ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/ :

neogit vim-header

Version details:

nvim: v0.6.0-dev+12-gf515baedc doom-nvim: v3.0.7

Hey, that's really strange for me because of

1. The error line is pointing to a comment :confused:
2. The function that triggers lspinstall in that file doesn't try to load that plugin if the plugin is not installed nor loaded

Can you please send the output of ls ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/opt/nvim-lspinstall and check if lspinstall is there when you do PackerStatus?

I was also able to repro this on macOs Big Sur. I confirmed nvim-lspinstall existed in the path you asked for.

I have the same issue, but as i moved or remove ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/ to another file and reinstall doom-nvim, reinstall packer . The problem solve

[Silipwn]

I was temporarily able to fix it by removing everything inside packer directory. rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/.

[NTBBloodbath]

Hey, sorry for the late reply.

So can we think that was an issue with the plugins? I was trying to reproduce it but I was unable to:(

[Silipwn]

Yeah, I guess we can close this for now. If someone else is able to reproduce it, they can refer to the fix above. I hope it worked for @jakethagle as well.

I have more info on this. I managed to repro it by updating the languages in my doomrc to include a new one to be installed for lsp. Upon restarting doom-nvim I got this stack trace. By doing an rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/lspinstall I was able to resolve my issue and it reinstalled all of the correct language servers.
