Error when lazy-loading indent-blankline.nvim on keys

[xulongwu4]

Hi,

I am trying to lazy-load indent-blankline.nvim on keys but keep getting an error when doing so.

This is my current config:

  {
    "lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim",
    opts = {},
    cmd = { "IndentBlanklineToggle" },
    keys = {
      {
        "<leader>ti",
        vim.cmd.IndentBlanklineToggle,
        desc = "Toggle Indent Blankline",
      },
    },
  },

, and this is the error I am getting when press <leader>ti the first time:

Any ideas on how to work around it?

Edit: My answer here is not correct at all, please ignore

I think you have to provide the "name" option, as the lua module that plugin provides is not the same as the plugin itself.

this is what i have in my config

  {
    "lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim",
    event = { "BufReadPost", "BufNewFile" },
    name = "indent_blankline",
    init = function()
      vim.opt.list = true
      vim.opt.listchars:append("eol:↴")
    end,
    opts = {
      space_char_blankline = " ",
      char = "│",
      filetype_exclude = {
        "terminal",
        "json",
        "lspinfo",
        "packer",
        "checkhealth",
        "help",
        "lazy",
        "",
      },
    },
  },

Thanks, but the name field is not the issue though. My issue is with lazy-loading on keybindings. If I do use the event handler, my configuration works fine without the name field.

After posting this, I think I noticed that the instance in which i thought it fixed someone for me was actually a coincidence.

I'll make an edit to my answer to say what i said was not correct.

You need to wrap that keys rhs in a function, since this will now try loading the plugin instead

@folke, Thanks for your reply. I change it to be

keys = {
      {
        "<leader>ti",
       function()
        vim.cmd.IndentBlanklineToggle()
       end,
        desc = "Toggle Indent Blankline",
      },

but the issue persists.

I am not sure why but I am pretty sure if we use vim.cmd.xxxx, we won't need to wrap it inside a function since it does not try loading the plugin. I have it in several places in my config and they all works correctly.

In this case, I first check that indent-blankline.nvim is not loaded. Then I try :lua print(vim.cmd.IndentBlanklineToggle). Then I check the status of indent-blankline.nvim again and it is still not loaded.
