Error while doing `:Rocks update`

[TarunDaCoder]

Hello, I am running into an error while doing :Rocks update First, it asks me if I want to update plugins that contain breaking changes, then no matter what I pick, this error shows up.

:Rocks update
There are potential breaking changes! Update them anyway?
To skip this prompt, run 'Rocks! update'

Breaking changes:
rocks-git.nvim 1.5.1 -> 2.0.0
which-key.nvim 2.1.0 -> 3.1.0

My neovim version

Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1713484068
Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info

My checkhealth also shows this if it's related

- WARNING luarocks: failed to parse version
  - ADVICE:
    - Error: ...n/.local/share/nvim/rocks/rocks_rtp/lua/mason/health.lua:214: attempt to compare number with nil

But my luarocks version is /usr/local/bin/luarocks 3.11.1

Hey 👋

It looks like there's an issue with your luarocks installation (or rocks.nvim not being able to find it). What are your rocks.toml and vim.g.rocks_nvim configs?

Edit: also (based on the stack trace) it looks like your rocks.nvim install is not up to date. Does it occur with the latest version?

[TarunDaCoder]

What are your rocks.toml and vim.g.rocks_nvim configs?

This is my rocks.toml

# This is your rocks.nvim plugins declaration file.
# Here is a small yet pretty detailed example on how to use it:
#
# [plugins]
# nvim-treesitter = "semver_version"  # e.g. "1.0.0"

# List of non-Neovim rocks.
# This includes things like `toml` or other lua packages.
[rocks]

# List of Neovim plugins to install alongside their versions.
# If the plugin name contains a dot then you must add quotes to the key name!

My vim.g.rocks_nvim config is

local rocks_config = {
    rocks_path = vim.fs.normalize(install_location),
}

vim.g.rocks_nvim = rocks_config

Does it occur with the latest version?

Yes, I have tried upgrading my rocks.nvim version to the latest, it still does not work.

:thinking: I just checked out your dotfiles and was not able to reproduce the error. It has got to be a problem with your luarocks installation. I've just pushed an update that fixes a bug in the health check. Could you please update to the latest version and try again? You may have to do it manually if :Rocks update and :Rocks install aren't working for you.

Could you also please post the stack trace using the latest version of rocks.nvim? :pray: The one you posted in the initial report is from an older version (which could also be a sign that the update didn't complete properly?).

P.S. I'm on vacation until Thursday, so I may be slow to respond till then.

Hmmm, I did the things this page told me to, and now my :Rocks update works 🤔

Oh, I didn't know, no worries, take your time, sorry to disturb you. Enjoy

You mean by setting luarocks_binary = "luarocks"? That's a possible workaround, but it has the downside that rocks.nvim can't control which version of luarocks is installed.

Or did you just reinstall rocks.nvim manually with luarocks --lua-version=5.1 --tree <rocks_path> --server='https://nvim-neorocks.github.io/rocks-binaries/' install rocks.nvim?

Yeah, I did this

I am currently using the bootstrapping script in the repo Could it be that it is an issue with the script?

[mrcjkb]

It should be possible. But the stack trace you posted makes me think your rocks.nvim installation somehow only updated partially, leading to a corrupted install. That would explain why manually reinstalling fixed it.

We have an issue to create a repair command for stuff like this.

[mrcjkb]

Since it's working for you again, I'll close this issue for now. Don't hesitate to drop a comment and reopen if it happens again 😀

Oh, great!

Sure! Have fun on vacay :D

[vsedov]

Ola,

Id like to reopen this issue sadly, im having some slightly trouble with this; given regardless of installing with the bootstrap or the luarocks script, i have this issue; currently had to make a script to manually update all the plugins individually.

Luarocks version : /usr/bin/luarocks 3.11.1

Nvim information:

NVIM v0.11.0-dev-655+g6af9ca492
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.1724232689
Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info

My rocks.toml is listed here : Toml as you can see its YUGE.

Rocks config is the default : vim.g.rocks_nvim no matter what i do / fix it does not work. :(

[mrcjkb]

Hey @vsedov you have some suspicious entries in your rocks.toml.

For example,

nvim-ufo = {rev = "1.4.0", opt = true}

is missing the git field (as are some others that look like they're managed by rocks-git.nvim.

It should look something like this:

nvim-ufo = {git = "kevinhwang91/nvim-ufo", rev = "1.4.0", opt = true}

Are you editing your rocks.toml manually? If so, I'd be surprised if it ever worked with those entries. To install a plugin from git, you need to run :Rocks install <owner/repo> (not :Rocks install <plugin> as is the case with luarocks plugins).

P.S. let's continue this in a discussion if you're still having trouble after fixing your rocks.toml.
