Only ZkNew and ZkIndex commands available

[Joelius300]

Disclaimer: I'm still at the beginning of this journey and have very little experience with zk and neovim.

After installing zk via the package manager and installing zk-nvim via AstroNvim's packer-like way, I can see the lsp attach to one of my notes inside an initialized Zettelkasten (see :LspInfo output below). However, when I try to invoke :ZkNotes, I find that only :ZkNew and :ZkIndex exist.

(typed :Zk and pressed tab)

Any idea what I am doing wrong? 😅

To install and setup the plugin, I have the following code in my user/init.lua file for the user specific configuration within AstroNvim.

plugins = {
  init = {
    "mickael-menu/zk-nvim",
  },
  ["zk"] = {
    picker = "telescope",
  },
},
lsp = {
  servers = {
    "zk",
  },
},

From my understanding, this should be equivalent to

(just packer)

use("mickael-menu/zk-nvim")

(setup)

require("zk").setup({ picker = "telescope" })

the additional servers entry is required because AstroNvim is using mason-lspconfig behind the scenes and wouldn't recognize zk otherwise.

Not sure what are you looking for. You can create your own actions like this:

local function make_new_fn(defaults)
  return function(options)
    options = vim.tbl_extend('force', defaults, options or {})
    require('zk').new(options)
  end
end

require('zk.commands').add('ZkNewFleeting', make_new_fn({ dir = 'vault', template = 'fleeting.md' }))

vim.keymap.set(
  'n',
  '<leader>zn',
  "<cmd>ZkNewFleeting { title = vim.fn.input('Fleeting Title: ')}<cr>",
  { desc = 'zk-nvim | New fleeting note' }
)

You can utilize GitHub search like filename:zk-nvim.lua path:nvim/lua to find how other people configure their zk-nvim.

Very strange, but looks like you use very old version of the plugin, where only :ZkIndex and :ZkNew commands presented yet (like at commit 89179f1).

Can you find local folder with installed plugin and check file lua/zk/commands/builtin.lua? (if your version is really very old as I expect, then you'll not even have that file yet)

@dzintars thanks for the comment, I'll look into it when I better understand what's going on here. Also very cool search trick but I only find one repo. Liquidmantis/dotfiles

@UnkwUsr thanks for the comment. I found lua/zk/commands/builtin.lua under ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/zk-nvim on my Manjaro system. It contains multiple calls to commands.add with the first two being "ZkIndex" and "ZkNew", followed by the for me nonexistent "ZkNewFromTitleSelection". I compared it with https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk-nvim/blob/main/lua/zk/commands/builtin.lua and it seems to be the same code.

Mby old LSP? I mean old zk?

[Joelius300]

I'll confirm in a sec but I'm almost certain it's on version 12, maybe even already on 13, but not lower.

Edit: its 12 (0.12.0)

[UnkwUsr]

Try a minimal config: create a file (for example, min.lua) with the following content:

-- P.S. stealed from gitsigns:
-- https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yaml

vim.o.packpath = '/tmp/nvim/site'

local plugins = {
  zk = 'https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk-nvim',
}

for name, url in pairs(plugins) do
  local install_path = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack/test/start/'..name
  if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
    vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', url, install_path }
  end
end

require("zk").setup({
    picker = "telescope",
})

And run nvim --clean -u min.lua. Do you have all the :Zk* commands?

[Joelius300]

@UnkwUsr Yes I do! If I don't use telescope as the picker (because that's not loaded in this minimal config) then I can display all my notes with :ZkNotes for example.

Does that mean there's a conflict somewhere? Or AstroNvim is causing issues?

[UnkwUsr]

Yes, there can be conflict somewhere. Try to reproduce with clean AstroNvim, and if it does, then create issue there.

Delighted to report that the major update of AstroNvim (3.10.0 right now) has solved this issue for me :)
