Alpha screen no longer shown at startup on nvim head #238

Closed technicalpickles closed 1 year ago

technicalpickles commented 1 year ago

I updated to neovim HEAD this morning (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/commit/bec13cfcafe73d33ed707b690fd924b1f52241f8), and realized that I no longer see the Alpha screen at startup.

On closer look, it seems like the default neovim screen is shown briefly and then an empty file is opened:

I realize the follies of HEAD, but figure on sharing in case it means something needs to be fixed in alpha or neovim.

Can replicate and confirm, having the same behaviour :)

I forgot to mention, I can call the command Alpha directly. If I am reading this source correctly... https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim/blob/63a860e7ed3ae41ee92481ea65a48fb35431ae21/lua/alpha.lua#L756-L766

It's the VimEnter that ultimately triggers it on load. Maybe some of the behavior around nvim_create_autocmd or nvim_create_augroup changed?

Bisected to neovim/neovim@b051b131f5ce99ffe1b1bc22a2032ebc886e4e35. No clue why that's the commit that broke this--could be another unforeseen side effect from the recent refactorings of buffer and window code in upstream neovim.

After b051b13, the behavior of line2byte has changed neovim#24915. Maybe alpha-nvim should change how to detect if should ship?
