Ambiguous use of user-defined command

[bijancn]

Describe the bug

Just tried to install according to the README. When I try to run any command I get

Error executing Lua callback: vim/_editor.lua:0: nvim_exec2(): Vim:E464: Ambiguous use of user-defined command: CopilotChat Explain how it works.
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'nvim_exec2'
        vim/_editor.lua: in function 'cmd'
        ...hare/nvim/lazy/CopilotChat.nvim/lua/CopilotChat/init.lua:29: in function <...hare/nvim/lazy/CopilotChat.nvim/lua/CopilotChat/init.lua:28>
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I am using

  "CopilotChat.nvim": { "branch": "main", "commit": "9722cf72c486e14f739cbb7de07700d555ad8bc8" },

And this is the config for lazy

    {
        "jellydn/CopilotChat.nvim",
        dependencies = { "zbirenbaum/copilot.lua" }, -- Or { "github/copilot.vim" }
        opts = {
            mode = "split",                          -- newbuffer or split  , default: newbuffer
            debug = true,                            -- Enable or disable debug mode, the log file will be in ~/.local/state/nvim/CopilotChat.nvim.log
        },
        build = function()
            vim.defer_fn(function()
                vim.cmd("UpdateRemotePlugins")
                vim.notify("CopilotChat - Updated remote plugins. Please restart Neovim.")
            end, 3000)
        end,
        event = "VeryLazy",
        keys = {
            { "<leader>cce", "<cmd>CopilotChatExplain<cr>", desc = "CopilotChat - Explain code" },
            { "<leader>cct", "<cmd>CopilotChatTests<cr>",   desc = "CopilotChat - Generate tests" },
        },
    },

When I try to activate debug = true I still don't see anything in ~/.local/state/nvim/CopilotChat.nvim.log.

Hi @bijancn Probably, that is the same issue with #38. You need to run UpdateRemotePlugins and restart Neovim.

[bijancn]

Ahh. I'm sorry @jellydn . I did actually run the command but before I restarted Neovim, so the plugin wasn't installed yet. Maybe you could add an extra step about making sure it's installed before running UpdateRemotePlugins? It seems obvious but still easy to forget. Especially when one doesn't know what the command does 😇

That's on readme: step 3 and 4.

Okay maybe it's just me but when I

• Edit my lazy setup
• Run :UpdateRemotePlugins (nothing happens)
• Restart neovim (plugin gets installed)

So for me I needed to

• Edit my lazy setup
• Restart neovim (plugin gets installed)
• Run :UpdateRemotePlugins (plugin starts working)
