"Neovim died without answering" in Chrome

craigmac commented 1 month ago

I've search the issues here with this phrase, but couldn't find anything that solved this for me. I tried Firefox as well, and I get a slightly different error from the plugin, saying "Unexpect output, run nvim --headless..", which I tried and then reloaded the plugin, nothing seems to happen or be output on stdout.

Setup

OS Version: macOS Sonoma 14.5
Browser Version: Chrome Version 125.0.6422.142 (Official Build) (arm64)
Browser Addon Version: 0.2.16
Neovim Plugin Version: 0.2.9
Neovim version: v0.10.1-dev-10+g4e9864147

What I tried to do

nvim
:call firenvim#install(0)
No config detected for chromium. Skipping.
No config detected for ungoogled-chromium. Skipping.
No config detected for opera. Skipping.
No config detected for brave. Skipping.
No config detected for vivaldi. Skipping.
No config detected for chrome-dev. Skipping.
Installed native manifest for firefox.
No config detected for chrome-canary. Skipping.
Installed native manifest for chrome.
No config detected for edge. Skipping.

I ran through Troubleshooting but couldn't get it to work. Here are my notes:

Not using flatpak/snap
:call firenvim#install(0) seems to have worked correctly (check output above)
ran echo 'abcde{}' | ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-${HOME}/.local/share}/firenvim/firenvim which gave me:

Error detected while processing function OnStdin[30]..WriteStdout:
line    6:
E714: List required0{"version": "0.2.9"}

That one doesn't seem right, compared to other answers I found on here.

contents of firenvim.json manifest for Chrome:

exec '/usr/local/bin/nvim' --headless --cmd 'let g:started_by_firenvim = v:true' -c 'call firenvim#run()'

Hmm, I'm using rocks.nvim which uses luarocks, so could that be affecting this? It's first in the $PATH.

checking whether extension can communicate with neovim, in Chrome, here's the console output:

_generated_background_page.html:1 Uncaught (in promise) Neovim died without answering.
Promise.then (async)
updateSettings @ background.ts:159
updateSettings @ background.ts:315
(anonymous) @ background.ts:326
onMessage @ browser-polyfill.js:1

_generated_background_page.html:1 Unchecked runtime.lastError: Error when communicating with the native messaging host.

nvim config files are in ~/.config/nvim
nvim $PATH has /Users/craigmaceachern/.local/share/nvim/rocks/bin prepended, otherwise it's the same as shell $PATH

What happened

No work :( Error message says "Neovim died without answering" in Chrome.

Hi, thanks for opening this issue and for going through the troubleshooting guide on your own, very appreciated :). First, could you try to upgrade your neovim plugin version to the most recent version (0.2.16)?

@craigmac I fixed a problem on master a few minutes ago, could you upgrade your neovim plugin for firenvim and then run firenvim#install() again? I'm hoping it might fix your problem too :)
