More info on install

[alekspickle]

Maybe I'm stupid, but while trying to install, I just added specified line to packer plugin list, and I get this error on init:

Error detected while processing /home/pickle/.config/nvim/init.lua:
E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: Vim:E475: Invalid value for argument cmd: '/home/pickle/.config/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/codesna

        /home/pickle/.config/nvim/init.lua:39: in main chunk

I mean I get that server-snap is not installed, but at which point should it? and is there some command that copies rust binary to path or something? kinda confused it has not happened yet

[mistricky]

Hey @alekspickle, thx for using codesnap.nvim, and reporting the issue, if you can't install it smoothly, there are only one reason, not because you're stupid, but because the documentation isn't detailed enough, sorry about that.

Do you install codesnap.nvim using Lazy.nvim? the config looks like:

Please notice there is an option build = 'make', before lazy installing the plugin, the build content will execute immediately. Can you provide your configuration?

[alekspickle]

nah, I wish i discovered lazy.nvim when i tried nvim the first time, at the moment I just use packer for all packages and simply adding this line as use statement installs codesnap nvim package, but apparently does not servers run the rust build/install command. If you can hint me where the entrypoint is, I can do a PR, running check that snap-server is available in path and running something like

[[ -x $(command -v snap-server) ]] && \
cd snap-server && \
 cargo build --release && \
 cp target/release/snap-server /usr/bin/

on init

[mistricky]

The reason of this because the codesnap.nvim needs build server code after installed, the document lacks this part how install this plugin with packer, I'll add it later.

Install this plugin use packer you configure like this:

use { 'mistricky/codesnap.nvim', run = 'make' }

[alekspickle]

that's exactly how I added it, every time I try to reset it ends the same way

[mistricky]

After refactor, this issue may out of stale, can you try with latest version?

[alekspickle]

new error!

Can you provide your OS version and neovim version?

[alekspickle]

Ubuntu 23.10 NVIM v0.9.1

[mistricky]

This issue may relate to which arch you use. What output of execute uname -a on your OS?

[alekspickle]

[mistricky]

Hi! CodeSnap was refactored, you can reinstall follow the latest README, if have any problems just let me know

[alekspickle]

Did not work either

I had the same issue with the module generator not being found.

In field package.preload['generator']
cache_loader: module generator not found
cache_loader_lib: module generator not found
In file './generator.lua'

I fixed the issue by using version 0.0.11, instead of ^1 like written in the documentation. Here is my codesnap.lua if needed (I am using LazyVim though):

{
  "mistricky/codesnap.nvim",
  lazy = true,
  version = "0.0.11",
  build = "make",
  cmd = "CodeSnapPreviewOn",
  opts = {
    mac_window_bar = false, -- (Optional) MacOS style title bar switch
},
  config = function(_, opts)
    require("codesnap").setup(opts)
  end,
},

Hello guys @Simon9991 @alekspickle, this issue has been open for too long, something has changed since I released v1, can you guys test this bug in the latest version? if still not working properly, please let me know.

[Simon9991]

Hi, I just tried with the new version, and I have no issue anymore on my end! Thanks for this plugin, I love it!

[alekspickle]

Works like intended! Thank you but just out of curiosity, do you have the process of install described somewhere? I also want to write nvim plugin with rust backend

[mistricky]

Hi @alekspickle sorry for replying late.

do you have the process of install described somewhere

Nope yet. CodeSnap.nvim is written by rust, and exposes FFI to communicate with Lua modules, if you are interested in this solution, you can check this repo
