Moving packers install directory (packpath) results in "Can't open file /path/to/manifest.."

Steps to reproduce

This is the file I am running before anything else

I believe the relevant part is:

package_root = dir .. '/pack',
compile_path = dir .. '/plugin/packer_compiled.lua',

Actual behaviour

I get the following error when running PackerSync:

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: ...ack/packer/start/packer.nvim/lua/packer/plugin_utils.lua:87: Vim(call):E482: Can't open file /path/to/manifest for writing: no such file or directory                           
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'cmd'
        ...ack/packer/start/packer.nvim/lua/packer/plugin_utils.lua:87: in function ''
        vim/_editor.lua: in function <vim/_editor.lua:0>

Expected behaviour

Packer works the same as when run without these changes

Are you running neovim with --clean as a argument? If so then the function s:LoadRemotePlugins() is not called. This sets g:loaded_remote_plugins to the correct path.

To get around this you can set vim.g.loaded_remote_plugins = 1. You could also check argv for --clean argument.

local function check_clean()
  for _, arg in ipairs(vim.v.argv) do
    if arg == '--clean' then
      vim.g.loaded_remote_plugins = 1
      return
    end
  end
end
check_clean()

[RoryNesbitt]

Yes that is exactly what I am doing. Thank you for the information, I'll test it as soon as I can

[RoryNesbitt]

Okay this has removed the error message when running PackerSync, which is great thank you.

However, when running with those settings there is still an issue I thought was related where it seems none of the files that are in config = "require'...'" are being required. Mainly evidenced by missing keymaps that would exist from those files. They are then loaded as expected when you run PackerCompile.

The launch command I'm using is nvim --clean --cmd "so settings-file.lua" -u /path/to/config/init.lua so as to load those settings first then load the regular config

[EdenEast]

  vim.opt.rtp:append(join_paths(dir, "config"))
  vim.cmd('set packpath=' .. dir)
  vim.g.loaded_remote_plugins = 1

-- ...

  packer.init({
    package_root = join_paths(dir, "pack"),
    compile_path = join_paths(dir, "plugin", "packer_compiled.lua"),
  })

Looking at your pvim.lua file it looks like you are adding dir + config path to the runtimepath but the compile path is creating at dir + plugin + packer_compiled.lua. This directory is not in your runtimepath. You should also add dir as well or change the locatio nof your plugin + packer_compiled.lua file to somewhere in your runtimepath.

[RoryNesbitt]

Thanks @EdenEast that fixed it
