Bug Description

So, I'm trying to install "blink.cmp" but everytime I get this error "attempt to call field 'get_keyword_range' (a nil value)". I have tried everything, reinstalling Neovim, reconfiguring th config, installing various versions of "blink.cmp", but nothing works.

The following is the error I'm getting :

What is your operating system? Seems like you have a problem with the prebuilt binary (not downloaded or unsupported system).

Try the following setting to get rid of the error message:

fuzzy = {
    implementation = 'lua',
}

It's Fedora Workstation 41.

Edit : Yes, the errors are not showing and for the completion, it is working but, only for files. And not on cmdline. Could you please review the above code ?

[soifou]

What do you mean? Did you setup an LSP? Some snippets?

And not on cmdline

The completion window on commandline does not show up automatically, you need to configure it explicitly:

cmdline = {
    completion = { menu = { auto_show = true } },
},

I see, take your time. For now I'll use the above config 👍 .

Make sure you have done the following

* [x]  Updated to the latest version of `blink.cmp`

* [x]  Searched for existing issues and documentation (try `<C-k>` on https://cmp.saghen.dev)

neovim version

NVIM v0.10.4

blink.cmp version

v0.13.1

You know, this thing still persists to this day whenever I switch from "lua" implementation to "rust" or any other rust options. Do you know the reason ? @soifou @Saghen

I'm not sure why but some ideas to try on your side if you're using lazy package manager.

First set version = "*" instead of version = "v0.13.*" and redo an install either from the UI by selecting the plugin and pressing x then reselect it and press i or from command line:

:Lazy clean blink.cmp
:Lazy sync blink.cmp

Then check the install path, usually ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/blink.cmp you should see the following:

ls ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/blink.cmp/target/release/
libblink_cmp_fuzzy.so  libblink_cmp_fuzzy.so.sha256  version

If you don't see this then try to download it manually.

Hey. Sorry for the late reply. This is what I got ...

The first one is with the current setup and the last one is with the version = "*" one.

EDIT : I revert back to the previous one version = "v0.13.*".

And here's the updated result ...
