Additional context

Currently Hydra search is returning a 500 error so I don't know if Hydra actually trys to build this or not.

I think it may have been caused by #470883 which should be fixed by #472119 ??

To add a bit more info to the failure, both tests are failing with:

Switching to treesitter main branch requires guihua.lua according to their docs: https://github.com/ray-x/go.nvim#vim-plug and searching nixpkgs doesn't yield anything, so probably just not included as a dependency.

I think it may have been caused by #470883 which should be fixed by #472119 ??

I wouldn't call falling back on an older version fixing it, but it would at least be a workaround until the underlying issues that prevent the plugin from working (in this case, guihua.lua getting packaged) get resolved.

[vendion]

I took a stab at trying to package guihua.lua, but vimplugin-go.nvim still fails to build.

{ pkgs }:
pkgs.vimUtils.buildVimPlugin {
  pname = "guihua-lua";
  version = "2025-11-12";
  src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "ray-x";
    repo = "guihua.lua";
    rev = "master";
    hash = "sha256-9iFqh12orsGnQniDloO+aXoBYuTqOW4pGHi3LBB2m4Q=";
  };

  buildPhase = ''
    cd lua/fzy
    make
    cd ../..
  '';

  nvimSkipModule = [
    "fzy.fzy-lua-native"
    "guihua.ts_obsolete.fold"
    "guihua.ts_obsolete.locals"
    "guihua.ts_obsolete.parsers"
    "guihua.ts_obsolete.query"
    "guihua.ts_obsolete.ts_utils"
    "guihua.ts_obsolete.tsrange"
  ];
}

@vendion, I created #477519. Let me know if that resolves your issue. Also, could you test their fuzzy finder, please? I am not sure if it works in nixpkgs

[vendion]

Is there an easy way to test this? I'm using Nixvim which has its own lock file for the nixpkgs repo so I don't know if I would have to wait for this to get merged here then pulled down by the Nixvim maintainers.

Also for the fuzzy finder I think the build hook is needed to build the fzy binary. https://github.com/ray-x/guihua.lua/tree/master/lua/fzy

[PerchunPak]

With nixvim it is complicated... No problem then, I am sure it works
