NVim Lazy vimspector `vim/_editor.lua:0: nvim_exec2(): Vim(packadd):E919: Directory not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/opt/vimspector"

[MikeLemo1]

Description

I might be doing something wrong with my setup but then only way I can get spector started in nvim is by using the command <cmd>VimspectorUpdate<cr> and then it put the following message: Failed to run config for vimspector

vim/_editor.lua:0: nvim_exec2(): Vim(packadd):E919: Directory not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/opt/vimspector"

stacktrace:

• vim/_editor.lua:0 in cmd
• ~/.config/nvim/lua/config/vimspector.lua:77 in config

Is it reproducible in vim?

Only broken in Neovim

Works with clean config?

Yes

Sample project works?

Not reproducible with sample project

Minimal Reproduction

List of steps to reproduce:

1. Run vim ---clean Nu /path/to/vimspector/support/minimal_vimrc ....
2. Open this project...
3. Press this sequence of keys

Expected Behaviour

load the vimspector.json file and start the debugger with <cmd>call vimspector#Launch()<cr>

Actual Behaviour

E117: Unknown function: vimspector#Launch OR

Failed to run config for vimspector

vim/_editor.lua:0: nvim_exec2(): Vim(packadd):E919: Directory not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/opt/vimspector"

stacktrace:

• vim/_editor.lua:0 in cmd
• ~/.config/nvim/lua/config/vimspector.lua:77 in config

after <cmd>VimspectorUpdate<cr> that temporarly for the session fixes it.

Sorry i can't debug a ton of obscure and incomprehensible neovim-only lua nonesense.

My best guess is that you installed it wrong, or didn't install it at all.

Follow the installation instructions and provide a minimal reproducible example and perhaps I can assist.

Assuming that this is not a bug bug an installation issue, therefore closing.

[MikeLemo1]

Regarding the installation it uses the package manager Lazy and I've posted al the relevant config code that both installs vispector automatically and configs it. But it work's quite bugy if you didn't read it and won't let launch the debugger and start it without runninng :VimspectorInstall OR :VimspectorUpdate first...

[puremourning]

Take it up with the author of the package manager. That's nothing I can change. Your package manager, your choice. If you can demonstrate a problem using the supported installation methods in the readme, I'm all ears.
