E5105 Error while calling LUA chunk

[illegitimate-egg]

I don't know anything about LUA so I can't begin to debug this. When starting nvim I'm left with the error below and no solarized theme.

Error detected while processing /home/ubuntu/.config/nvim/init.vim:
line   13:
E5105: Error while calling lua chunk: ...nvim/site/plugged/neosolarized.nvim/lua/neosolarized.lua:36: attempt to call up
value 'cmd' (a nil value)
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Don't worry this is WSL running Ubuntu 20.04, I don't have brain damage

Hmm, that's odd. cmd is a reference to vim.cmd which should always exist. Certainly has existed as long as this plugin has been around, which is about neovim .6. What version are you using?

[illegitimate-egg]

ah, 0.4.3

[illegitimate-egg]

Apt moment

[svrana]

Do you have colorbuddy installed?

Also make sure you have colorbuddy installed, if you haven't already: https://github.com/tjdevries/colorbuddy.nvim

[illegitimate-egg]

Yes

[illegitimate-egg]

The neovim version is way to low

[illegitimate-egg]

updating it now

[svrana]

Awesome, latest version .8.x, get as close as you can!

[illegitimate-egg]

I got v0.8.1 installed and now I have a different error!

It's failing trying to load colorbuddy. Not sure how you install packages, but a help packpath will describe how neovim will attempt to find them.

[illegitimate-egg]

For packages I use vimplug, and your package installed completely normally

[svrana]

Do you see a path containing colorbuddy when you run :echo &rtp?

[illegitimate-egg]

yep

sorry, :echo &packpath

[illegitimate-egg]

Nope, don't see colour buddy in that one

/home/ubuntu/.config/nvim,/etc/xdg/nvim,/home/ubuntu/.local/share/nvim/site,/usr/local/share/nvim/site,/usr/share/nvim/s                                                                      nvim/runtime,/tmp/.mount_nvim8rnqIF/usr/lib/nvim,/var/lib/snapd/desktop/nvim/site/after,/usr/share/nvim/site/after,/usr/
/etc/xdg/nvim/after,/home/ubuntu/.config/nvim/after

[svrana]

You could try including /home/ubuntu/.local/share/nvim/site/plugged/colorbuddy.nvim in your packpath. Looks like nvim does not inherit packpath from rtp.

in vimscript

set packpath=/home/ubuntu/.config/nvim,/etc/xdg/nvim,/home/ubuntu/.local/share/nvim/site,/usr/local/share/nvim/site,/usr/share/nvim/s                                                                      nvim/runtime,/tmp/.mount_nvim8rnqIF/usr/lib/nvim,/var/lib/snapd/desktop/nvim/site/after,/usr/share/nvim/site/after,/usr/
/etc/xdg/nvim/after,/home/ubuntu/.config/nvim/after,/home/ubuntu/.local/share/nvim/site/plugged

[illegitimate-egg]

I think that set command had some syntax errors in it, because now I have more errors on startup

Getting munged.. but it's just your existing packpath and /home/ubuntu/.local/share/nvim/site/plugged/colorbuddy.nvim, separated with a comma.

[illegitimate-egg]

back to just

I removed the packadd call that was causing the problem. You'll need to update the plugin, but should work after that.

[illegitimate-egg]

I don't have any errors anymore, but I also don't have any colour anymore

[svrana]

No color at all?

This theme won't set the background unless you set background_set=true; it probably should but doesn't for historical reasons.
