Description

I get TextChangedI Autocommands for "*" error while typing

Steps to reproduce

Use above config and follow the video snippets provided below.

Expected behavior

No error to happen at all

Actual behavior

On a MD file

In this case i get this error

Error detected while processing TextChangedI Autocommands for "*":                                       
E20: Mark not set

On a CPP file

In this case i get this

Error detected while processing TextChangedI Autocommands for "*":                                       
E481: No range allowed

I got the same error when I was trying insert some text inside string that is a property or a value of a JavaScript object literal. In my case, it shows 'E20: Mark not set' or 'E16: Invalid range'. If this is a bug, hope it fixed soon.

[benbrastmckie]

Yeah, me too trying to write LaTeX with the Lua config I've been working on. I notice that it mostly gives errors when I try to start lines with \ which happens all the time in LaTeX. Hope its an easy fix.

Trying to reproduce the error but with the provided minimal config I don't run into the error. In your video definitely a different, full user config is being used.

To make a guess, this bug is happening because the completion item is executed literally as a vim command. Try :\usepackage in vim cmdline and you'll get an E10 error. Not sure which line of the nvim-cmp is calling vim.cmd wrongly. Can anybody provide a fully reproducible config?

Strange, I really did use the minimal config for the second clip, maybe it has to do with any caching from my normal neovim ? How can i rerun the tests cleanly,so that i can be sure the min config produces the issue?

[bchopson]

I can reproduce this error by enabling the cmp-cmdline source.

[hrsh7th]

Please remove cmp-cmdline from global sources and add cmp-cmdline for the cmdline setup function.

[LamprosPitsillos]

Please remove cmp-cmdline from global sources and add cmp-cmdline for the cmdline setup function.

This solved it for me ,thanks again for your hard work!

[lucianchauvin]

Please remove cmp-cmdline from global sources and add cmp-cmdline for the cmdline setup function.

What does this mean exactly? I've removed cmp-cmdline from my plugins yet I am still having this issue on NVIM v0.10.1.

Specifically, opening a .tex file an typing \ causes this:

Error detected while processing TextChangedI Autocommands for "*"..function UltiSnips#TrackChange[1]..provider#python3#Call:
line    1:
E5108: Error executing lua Vim:<global-snippets>:60: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\h'
stack traceback:
        [C]: at 0x5baf91587200

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Shougo]

Hm... It seems UltiSnips error instead of nvim-cmp.

[lucianchauvin]

Yeah not really sure if this is an Ultisnips or nvim-cmp issue but it seems very similar to this.

[Shougo]

The error is not reproduced when nvim-cmp is disabled?

[lucianchauvin]

The error is not reproduced when nvim-cmp is disabled?

No, it is not. I will go bark up someone else's tree.
