Can you paste the complete error in here? I'm missing the line number. (You can use :messages to see all recent messages.)

And this happens when you just do :Startify?

rambhosale commented 3 years ago

I get the above error while entering vim and following when I run :Startify

Is any part of the path ~/.local/share/nvim/session a symlink?

rambhosale commented 3 years ago

No, it isn't

mhinz commented 3 years ago

Well, I think one of your recently used files (:oldfiles) has a path with a symlink loop.

Let me add some code to output a warning and skip that file instead of throwing an error.

rambhosale commented 3 years ago

I tried renaming ~/.local/share/nvim to nvim_2 and did a re-install of Packer and other plugins solved this issue Thanks for narrowing down the issue and help me solve this, and for taking out your time to solve this issue.

mhinz commented 3 years ago

You're welcome. :)
