Error: attempt to index field 'popup_layout' (a nil value)

[RitickMadaan]

Hi folks, after installing the plugin via Packer, I am getting the following error on running :ChatGPT command

Error executing Lua callback: ...acker/start/ChatGPT.nvim/lua/chatgpt/flows/chat/base.lua:47: attempt to index field 'popup_layout' (a
 nil value)
stack traceback:
        ...acker/start/ChatGPT.nvim/lua/chatgpt/flows/chat/base.lua:47: in function 'init'

Packer Installation snippet:

  use({
    "jackMort/ChatGPT.nvim",
      config = function()
        require("chatgpt").setup()
      end,
      requires = {
        "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
        "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
        "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim"
      }
  })

If anyone familiar with the issue, kindly help. Thanks in advance : )

I guess it came from this commit: 1f69ba

@erlonbie seeing same issue in earlier commits as well ( tried randomly till 98764f0 ), guessing it's something specific to my setup 🤔

I had the same issue and it turns out that probably there was some broken change in config. I used these options in my config:

{
    chat = {
      keymaps = {
        close = { '<C-q>' },
      },
    },
}

And the problem here was that close is a table. Making it just a string fixed the issue. Probably you have the same problem having custom keymaps defined as tables.

[RitickMadaan]

but @kuznetsss I haven't set any custom config specific to the plugin yet. As the snippet in packer is:

use({
    "jackMort/ChatGPT.nvim",
      config = function()
        require("chatgpt").setup()
      end,
      requires = {
        "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
        "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
        "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim"
      }
  })

Am assuming it will be using the default configuration.

@RitickMadaan I just tried to run it with empty options and it worked fine for me.

I was getting this error when trying to run with the OPENAI_API_KEY environment var. Switching to using api_key_cmd made it go away.

If you just want to test you can stick this in your neovim config.

require("chatgpt").setup({
    api_key_cmd = "echo my_key"
})

I confirm your workaround worked @michaelnew , thanks.

I am getting this error with a new install of the plugin (Feb 2024). The dependencies are installed, I'm not using a custom config other than providing access to my API key.
