how to make --wsl launch lunarvim and not just plain nvim

[jmlucjav]

Hi

I want to use fvim as the gui for nvim on wsl. I see I can start fvim like this

fvim --wsl

and it works fine, but I use lunarvim as my preferred setup. As is, fvim is starting nvim without lvim's configuration.

FYI, lvim is just launching this:

export LUNARVIM_CONFIG_DIR="${LUNARVIM_CONFIG_DIR:-/home/jm/.config/lvim}"
export LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR="${LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR:-/home/jm/.local/share/lunarvim}"

exec nvim -u "$LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR/lvim/init.lua" "$@"

Is there a way to make fvim start lvim in wsl instead of plain nvim?

I think I can achieve something similar like this:

SET NVIMSOCKET=66555
start /b cmd /c wsl lvim --listen "127.0.0.1:%NVIMSOCKET%" --headless
start C:\tools\fvim\fvim.exe --nvr 127.0.0.1:%NVIMSOCKET%

but I prefer to double check here if there is a better/cleaner way.

Thanks for this project!!

I would love to say:

fvim --wsl --nvim lvim

... but: https://github.com/yatli/fvim/blob/c43c0c651038637a889990b7a147bcb542474a11/getopt.fs#L142

The nvim argument is ignored for wsl.

I don't have access to my local git repo at the moment, can you please try:

- "wsl", ["bash"; "-l"; "-c"; $"nvim --embed {args |> escapeArgs |> join}"], true 
+ "wsl", ["bash"; "-l"; "-c"; $"{nvim} --embed {args |> escapeArgs |> join}"], true

mmm, I was testing the binary release, I don't have whatever is needed for compiling...(not a .net guy). If you can add that change, I'll test the next release

[yatli]

Sure. Will ping you when it's done. My local RAID0 blew up and I'm too distracted at the moment.

[jmlucjav]

Sure, I will keep an eye on this. Good luck if your hardware mishap!

I'm also interested in this change.

Hi! I found a little workaround for starting Lunarvim with fvim:

• add the environment variables for Lunarvim to your ~/.bashrc:

  export LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR="${LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR:-"/home/user/.local/share/lunarvim"}" export LUNARVIM_CONFIG_DIR="${LUNARVIM_CONFIG_DIR:-"/home/user/.config/lvim"}" export LUNARVIM_CACHE_DIR="${LUNARVIM_CACHE_DIR:-"/home/user/.cache/lvim"}"

• then start Fvim with the following command line: .\FVim.exe --wsl -u /home/user/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim/init.lua
• in config.lua you can then add the configuration for fvim:

  if vim.g.fvim_loaded then vim.cmd [[set guifont=FiraCode\ Nerd\ Font:h14]] vim.cmd [[FVimCursorSmoothMove v:true]] vim.cmd [[FVimCursorSmoothBlink v:true]] vim.cmd [[FVimCustomTitleBar v:true ]] vim.cmd [[FVimFontAutoSnap v:true]] vim.cmd [[FVimUIPopupMenu v:true]] vim.cmd [[FVimUIWildMenu v:true]] -- Ctrl-ScrollWheel for zooming in/out -- nnoremap :set guifont=+ -- nnoremap :set guifont=- -- nnoremap :FVimToggleFullScreen end

Drawback is, that Telescope based menus aren't working at all. Therefore, Lunarvim still isn't usable with Fvim, but this might be the next step in the right direction.

edit:

Drawback is, that Telescope based menus aren't working at all.

That is not correct! The dashboard menus are not working! If you call telescope directly with e.g. :Telescope projects, then all works as expected!

edit 2: :Telescope projects does not work within the dashboard! You must have a source file open in the editor! Therefore you can open config.lua with "Configuration" and then everything is working as expected.

I also would like to start fvim with a different „nvim“ in wsl. My backstory is a little different. I'm using fvim on windows and NixOS is my default wsl distribution. wsl nvim doesn't work:

PS C:\Users\to6338> wsl nvim
/run/current-system/sw/bin/bash: line 1: nvim: command not found

But wsl /home/nixos/.nix-profile/bin/nvim works as expected

I'll try your suggested patch and give feedback

I'm overwhelmed with compiling fvim on Windows. It seems I'm unable to find the necessary dependencies:
