Installing Lua fails in OSX

[soerenmartius]

Trying to run LspInstall lua in MacOS 11.4 is failing. I am currently debugging the installer. in https://github.com/kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall/blob/main/lua/lspinstall/servers/lua.lua#L17 there seems to be an issue with getting the right download URL. Instead of downloading the file, the file sumneko-lua.vsix contains a request of the GitHub API which breaks the installer.

Hmm it works for me, and I'm on macOS too. Did you find anything?

grep seems to cause the problem. What version of grep are you using?

❯ grep -V                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
grep (BSD grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD

ah my bad, I assume I am on a different version of cut

❯ cut --version                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             ~

yes, I'm using /usr/bin/cut which doesn't even has the --version argument

[kabouzeid]

feel free to make a PR with cut arguments that work with your cut version then :)
