[coc.nvim] Can't load extension from "/home/user/.config/nvim": package.json not found in: /home/user/.config/nvim

Describe the bug

After 14623e1ca36254fc9271c3bf20a60fe92aa2f0bd, every time when I use :Startify coc throws the following messages:

[coc.nvim] Can't load extension from "/home/user/.config/nvim": package.json not found in: /home/user/.config/nvim
[coc.nvim] Can't load extension from "/usr/share/vim/vimfiles": package.json not found in: /usr/share/vim/vimfiles
[coc.nvim] Can't load extension from "/home/user/.cache/nvim/plugged/yats.vim": can't find name & engines in /home/user/.cache/nvim/plugged/yats.vim/package.json
...

I put all my coc extension only in ~/.config/coc, the directory ~/.cache/nvim/plugged is only used for vim plugins(coc.nvim, vim-startify, etc.). Coc shouldn't look for coc extensions from my vim plugins location.

Reproduce the bug

• Create file mini.vim with：

  set nocompatible
  call plug#begin('~/.cache/nvim/plugged')
  Plug 'mhinz/vim-startify', {'on': 'Startify'}
  call plug#end()
  set runtimepath^=/path/to/coc.nvim
  filetype plugin indent on
  syntax on
  set hidden

• Start (neo)vim with command: vim -u mini.vim

• Operate vim.

  Input :Startify and type Enter.

Possible causes

Might be caused by the following lines

https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/9704f8d076426177dcbd92067dc76bafa266f852/src/extensions.ts#L102-L111

Since I use lazy loading provided by vim-plug. Once I use :Startify, vim-plug adds vim-startify path to &runtimepath. Once the runtimepath was changed, that event got fired and coc began to loadExtension from one of my &runtimepath...

But I don't know how to fix it. I disabled this line for a temporary fix. https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/9704f8d076426177dcbd92067dc76bafa266f852/src/extensions.ts#L452 Please help.

I'm still getting the exact same output when running :PlugUpdate. Running the latest from master.

[chemzqm]

Sorry, bad commit.

[tombh]

I'm still seeing this with latest commit de70457

[chemzqm]

@tombh you didn't compile the code.

[tombh]

I've done yarn install --frozen-lockfile, is there something else I need to do?

[chemzqm]

@tombh rm -rf build

[tombh]

Thank you. Sorry about this. I removed the entire ~/.config/nvim/plugged/coc.nvim folder, ran yarn install --frozen-lockfile and I still see the same error messages on neovim boot.

Edit: of course I ran git clone after removing the coc.nvim folder

[chemzqm]

I will make some change to avoid this issue, this could be happened after switch branch of coc.nvim.

[chemzqm]

Checkout coc.nvim version by :CocInfo looks like your activated coc.nvim is not what you just downloaded.

[tombh]

Thank you. I get this:

vim version: NVIM v0.4.3
node version: v12.16.1
coc.nvim version: 0.0.78
coc.nivm directory: /home/tombh/.config/nvim/plugged/coc.nvim
term: screen-256color
platform: linux

And still after recent updates I get all the [coc.nvim] Can't load extension from "/home/user/.config/nvim": package.json not found in: /home/user/.config/nvim errors in status, that I need to press Enter on multiple times. Edit: My error is different! I'm so sorry for not noticing sooner. My errors are like this: [coc.nvim] Can't load global extension from "/home/tombh/.config/coc/extensions/node_modules/coc-json": package.json not found

[chemzqm]

You have to reinstall your broken extension

[tombh]

Ok. How did I break them?

[chemzqm]

I don't know

I had the same message until I deleted my ~/.config/coc folder.

Check permissions on your folders. In my case, this error was caused by an incorrect chmod.

Check permissions on your folders. In my case, this error was caused by an incorrect chmod.

++, at least, my .vim folder and others were owned by system. Had to change the ownership of my .vim folder to my user. Everything after that went smoothly.
