Dependency of copilot.vim / copilot.lua?

[shmerl]

Does CopilotChat.nvim depend on copilot.vim or copilot.lua plugins? I didn't find that mentioned anywhere in the readme, but a bunch of external posts about it mention it so it's confusing.

Thank you!

It used to depend on them (for authentication) but now they are both just optional

Oh, that's neat, thank you! So CopilotChat.nvim handles authentication on its own now? I didn't see details on that in the readme either, so it's something I need to figure out how to do.

yea, it will just prompt you in the chat buffer. but also if you already have valid token from copilot.lua/copilot.vim it will use that one

Hi. I just set it up plus lynx and gh, but when doing CopilotChatToggle it doesn't prompt anything regarding authorization. And trying to send anything with Ctrl+S results in:

Model not found: gpt-4.1

Am I missing something? How can I trigger authorization step explicitly? My config looks like this (using lazy.nvim):

  { 'CopilotC-Nvim/CopilotChat.nvim',
    dependencies = {
      { 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim' },
    },
    build = 'make tiktoken',
    cmd = 'CopilotChatToggle',
    opts = { }
  }

Also, I authenticated with gh

gh auth status

Shows being logged-in and Token scopes includes copilot.

Also lua require('CopilotChat').select_model() doesn't return anything in the list.

Ah the notifications were being sent to multiple chat instances so it broke, should be fixed now try again: 74611b5

It works now, thank you!
