Getting errors when using as git pager

[kkga]

I'm getting the following error whenever nvimpager is used for git. This only happens for git.

Not sure where to start inverstigating the cause of this, so any tips would be helpful.

Error detected while processing VimEnter Autocommands for "*":

I assume you are using version 0.7 of nvimpager. What version of neovim are you using and what version is AnsiEsc ( /usr/share/nvimpager/runtime/plugin/AnsiEsc.vim around line 4). How did you install nvimpager?

Thanks for quick reply, here's some more info:

nvimpager is installed from the Void Linux repository, here's the build template for it: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/f35a6c2dee5b234c369fbada7181c86dbed2ab35/srcpkgs/nvimpager/template

Ok the version of AnsiEsc that the void packager is using is too old. It is from 2010 and they download it from vim.org. Please check the commit 871adb1e830756c1b093eaf1a39db8af4f211a3e. The makefile of nvimpager downloads ansiesc from the developers website. Sadly he does not version the tar balls so a static download link with a checksum does not exist. You can also try to port the patch I used before 871adb1e830756c1b093eaf1a39db8af4f211a3e.

I have been experimenting with different replacements for ansiesc because this situation did bother me before. Until now I did not finish one to my satisfaction. Maybe I should try again.

@kkga would you mind trying to run nvimpager from git? Just clone the repository, run make and try PATGER=/git/repository/nvimmpager git whatever-you-did-before. The makefile should download a newer version of the ansi esc plugin. Or you can try out the branch I dug up from my git history: https://github.com/lucc/nvimpager/tree/poc/ansi2term-2 That one works without the ansi esc plugin.

@lucc Tried cloning the repo and yes, it does work now! 👍

@kkga I am working on a replacement for the AnsiEsc plugin. If you want to help you can use the poc/ansi2syntax branch and try nvimpager from there. I am happy about any reports :)

[kkga]

just tried the new branch -- seems to be working fine for me :+1:

[lucc]

I merged the new ansi esc code into develop. With the next release that should be fixed.

The ansi-esc replacement is released in v0.9. @adrianisuru you seem to be the maintainer on Void Linux, so you could update the package (thanks for packaging btw :).
