vim-lumen doesn't work without error messages in macOS

[gmmyung]

Describe the bug

After running Neovim, no error is observable. Toggling vim-lumen doesn't change the colorscheme. It worked before, but it suddenly doesn't since I have updated the package.

To reproduce

run Neovim

Expected behavior

vim-lumen should work as expected

Debug output

{'platform': 'macos', 'job_state': 'dead (exit code 257)', 'job_errors': []}

but it suddenly doesn't since I have updated the package.

Which package did you update? If you mean this plugin, could you find out which commit broke it?

[gmmyung]

Unfortunately not. I haven't updated the package for a few months before this happened.

[gmmyung]

I have tried multiple versions, and 145a2fd seems to be where it starts to break.

What is the output of :echom lumen#platforms#macos#watch_cmd()?

[gmmyung]

/Users/gmmyung/.local/share/nvim/lazy/vim-lumen/autoload/lumen/platforms/macos/watcher

[gmmyung]

I am using lazy.nvim for my package manager.

[vimpostor]

Hmm I do not see anything wrong with that path.

If you run ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/vim-lumen/autoload/lumen/platforms/macos/watcher.swift get in a shell, does it output something? And if you run ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/vim-lumen/autoload/lumen/platforms/macos/watcher, does it output something when you change the system dark mode?

~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/vim-lumen/autoload/lumen/platforms/macos/watcher.swift get

And if you run ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/vim-lumen/autoload/lumen/platforms/macos/watcher, does it output something when you change the system dark mode?

Can you confirm that :echom jobstart(["/Users/gmmyung/.local/share/nvim/lazy/vim-lumen/autoload/lumen/platforms/macos/watcher"]) outputs -1?

According to :h jobstart() this means that neovim thinks that this file is not executable. Can you figure out why that would be the case, e.g. check that chmod +x is set on that file.

Also make sure that the path you posted for :echom lumen#platforms#macos#watch_cmd() really is that path and doesn't contain any hidden other characters, e.g. also try running :echom jobstart(lumen#platforms#macos#watch_cmd()).

[vimpostor]

I think I found the problem now, please kindly test the latest version.

[gmmyung]

Can you confirm that :echom jobstart(["/Users/gmmyung/.local/share/nvim/lazy/vim-lumen/autoload/lumen/platforms/macos/watcher"]) outputs -1?

This command outputs increasing number every time I enter. It increase more than 1 each time. I am at 43 now lol

:echom jobstart(lumen#platforms#macos#watch_cmd()) outputs:

Press ENTER or type command to continue

I will check if the fix works!

[gmmyung]

Works like a charm! Thank you for your swift response. I really appreciate it 👍
