Error on NixOs

[zDyant]

Been trying to get it running with Lunarvim with NixOs.
config:

{
    "AckslD/nvim-neoclip.lua",
    event = "VeryLazy",
    lazy = true,
    dependencies = {
      { 'kkharji/sqlite.lua',           module = 'sqlite' },
      { 'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim' },
    },
    config = function()
      require('telescope').load_extension('neoclip')
      require('neoclip').setup({
        enable_persistent_history = true,
        continuous_sync = true,
      })
    end,
  },

error:

Hi @zDyanTB! Hmm, is that the whole traceback? It looks like it errors when loading neoclip.db but not sure why.

[zDyant]

Yes, it its the full trace.
Maybe it's a problem that some files on Nix are read-only?

Maybe it's a problem that some files on Nix are read-only?

I wouldn't think that's an issue, it would only try to manipulate vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/databases/neoclip.sqlite3" which I think shouldn't be read-only?

Edit: Today's error:

What changed to get this error?

What changed to get this error?
Literally nothing

Hmm, not fully sure what's going on but looks like sqlite is not properly installed

[Jeansidharta]

I've recently had the same problem in NixOs and managed to figure out a solution. Here's where I found the solution: kkharji/sqlite.lua#28

Essentially, when installing sqlite through Nix, the shared library files will live in the output directory of the sqlite's derivation, inside the Nix store. In my case, it's at /nix/store/312yk1dazwk4pwrfj88csdlk9qvsgwsn-sqlite-3.45.3/lib. By default, the sqlite lua library used in this project will try to look for this library in regular linux paths, as shown here. There are many ways to override these paths, but the easiest one for me was to append to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environtment variable the location of sqlite's shared library. In my particular case, using zsh, I just wrote in my home-manager configuration the following:

programs.zsh.initExtra = ''
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${pkgs.sqlite.out}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
'';

And it worked. I don't think this is the ideal solution though. I think the best one would use the vim.g.sqlite_clib_path variable, as defined here, but that sounds like more work I'm not willing to do right now.
