1 year ago What version of neovim are you using (manual build, package manager, Appimage, Snap, ...)?
If you have several versions of nvim you can try to select one with export NVIMPAGER_NVIM=/my/version/of/nvim.
What exactly do you mean by
but also doesn't really do anything at all either
any output on stdout or stderr, exit code?
The original error you see is from man complaining that the pager command exits with status code 2. And the actual pager command that man is using is printed and its actually a pipeline of sed and then your $MANPAGER with many local environment variables set on its command line.
So you could also try this for debugging
MANPAGER=cat man man > manpage.txt
bash -x $(which nvimpager) < manpage.txt
echo $?

Similar to issue #32 I've recently been getting the following error when trying to use nvimpager.
Possibly relevant info:
``` ~ $ which nvim /usr/bin/nvim ~ $ nvim -v NVIM v0.10.0-dev-618+g4fd852b8cb Build type: RelWithDebInfo LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info ~ $ nvimpager -v nvimpager 0.12.0-1-ga1c3916 ~ $ grep -E ^[^#].*PAGER .bashrc export PAGER=/usr/bin/nvimpager export MANPAGER=/usr/bin/nvimpager export DELTA_PAGER=less ~ $ cat .config/nvimpager/init.vim let mapleader = "," set ignorecase set smartcase set number set cursorline nnoremapHere's a bash trace for trying to access a man page

``` ~ $ bash -x nvimpager .bashrc + RUNTIME=/usr/share/nvimpager/runtime + PARENT=21108 + TMPFILE= + export RUNTIME + export PARENT + export TMPFILE + export NVIM_APPNAME=nvimpager + NVIM_APPNAME=nvimpager + mode=auto + nvim=nvim + getopts achpv flag + shift 0 + [[ 1 -eq 0 ]] + [[ ! -t 1 ]] + files=() + stdin=false + [[ 1 -gt 0 ]] + [[ -f .bashrc ]] + files+=("$1") + shift + [[ 0 -gt 0 ]] + [[ -z '' ]] + [[ 1 -eq 0 ]] + [[ -n '' ]] + args1=(-R --cmd 'set rtp+=$RUNTIME | lua nvimpager = require("nvimpager")') + args2=(--cmd 'lua nvimpager.stage1()' -c 'lua nvimpager.stage2()') + [[ auto = cat ]] + [[ auto = auto ]] ++ cat .bashrc ++ wc -l ++ tput lines + [[ 156 -le 36 ]] + exec -a nvimpager nvim -R --cmd 'set rtp+=$RUNTIME | lua nvimpager = require("nvimpager")' .bashrc --cmd 'lua nvimpager.stage1()' -c 'lua nvimpager.stage2()' ```Unfortunately, I can't say exactly when this stopped working for me...
