attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'exec' (a nil value)

[yujinyuz]

When I use

require('impatient').enable_profile()

I get an error

packer.nvim: Error running config for nvim-lspconfig: ...ck/packer/start/impatient.nvim/lua/impatient/profile.lua:148: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'exec' (a nil value)

I don't have this proble with

require('impatient')

I don't get this error. You need to provide more details.

Samesies; I'm getting this only for enable_profile();

I'm very simply calling the following, from my init.lua at the root of my nvim:

local ok, impatient = pcall(require, "impatient")
if ok then
  impatient.enable_profile()
end

Same error as @yujinyuz

[yujinyuz]

I don't get the errors anymore but I get this message

impatient: [error] dependency config/lsp of workspace does not have profile results. Results will be inaccurate
impatient: [error] dependency packer_compiled of workspace does not have profile results. Results will be inaccurate

What should I do in order to resolve this?

This is what have

-- Load globals
require('globals')
-- Make `vim.keymap` available
require('utils._keymap_port')
-- Load global helpers
require('utils')
require('packer_compiled')
require('impatient').enable_profile()
-- Load options
require('options')
-- Load plugins last
require('plugins')

Is this right?

From the README:

impatient needs to be setup before any other lua plugin is loaded so it is recommended you add the following near the start of your init.vim.

Yet in your config you are requiring several modules before impatient.

Move impatient to the top.

@lewis6991 I tried moving require('impatient').enable_profile() to the top but still getting the same error

[lewis6991]

The error happens because there is a require happening before impatient is loaded.

[yujinyuz]

Can't seem to figure out why. I've already moved the require('impatient').enable_profile() to the top most of my init.lua but I'm still getting the same error.

I'll just remove the .enable_profile() for now and will try to investigate further

I did some more tweaks with https://github.com/lewis6991/impatient.nvim/commit/561b86e5602def047010d451c3e7977a65982788 and it will hopefully fix the issue you are seeing.
