E116: Incompatible with traces.vim: Invalid arguments for function dictwatcherdel

[fnune]

Here's my setup:

-- using lazy.nvim
return {
  "smjonas/inc-rename.nvim",
  dependencies = { "stevearc/dressing.nvim" },
  config = function()
    local inc_rename = require("inc_rename")
    inc_rename.setup({ input_buffer_type = "dressing" })

    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>rn", function()
      return ":IncRename " .. vim.fn.expand("<cword>")
    end, { expr = true })
  end,
}

The keybinding puts me in command mode with :IncRename theword, but:

1. No inc rename UI is visible in the buffer
2. I get the following error message once I hit enter:

[inc-rename] An error occurred in the preview function. Please report this error here: https://github.com/smjonas/inc-rename.nvim/issues:
E116: Invalid arguments for function dictwatcherdel

Additionally, it leaves me in a weird state where I have to hit Ctrl-C for the error message to go away.

Neovim version:

 ~/.dotfiles => nvim --version
NVIM v0.9.0
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Thanks for reporting! Two questions:

• In which file did you run the :IncRename command? Was your cursor placed on an LSP identifier? Feel free to add a screenshot.
• What is the active language server for the buffer? Please tell me the output of :LspInfo.

Here are some screenshots:

Tried TS as well:

I was able to reproduce the error using your Nvim config, however I have no idea which plugin might be causing this. You could use binary search to disable a set of plugins until the variable is renamed, i.e. the highlights are shown - unfortunately, I don't have time for this :) (A bisect feature for lazy.nvim would be nice for this btw).

[fnune]

When you say "your Nvim config", do you mean what I pasted in here or my full config from my dotfiles? :sweat_smile:

Sorry, didn't want you to go into so much trouble. I might have some time to help debug further this weekend.

[smjonas]

I meant your Nvim config (https://github.com/fnune/dotfiles/tree/master/neovim/.config/nvim). Thanks for looking into this!

[fnune]

Found it! The incompatible plugin is https://github.com/markonm/traces.vim

Disabling it fixes this issue.

Sorry to have prompted you to spend your time on this. At least it's some documentation here.

[smjonas]

I'm glad you found the issue!

No worries at all, it was a valid bug report :)

[twnaing]

I also experienced the same issue.

Spent better part of an hour to work. Glad I found this.

It is a known issue now.

[smjonas]

I also experienced the same issue.

@twnaing Glad you found this issue. I will add a check whether traces.vim is installed to warn other users of this incompatibility
