Can't load under nixos?

[tmpm697]

I can't seem to make this plugin to work with neovim under nixos. Always got this error when load plugin:

stylua is avail globally under nixos, but dues to its nature, it's not from /usr/bin, idk if this plugin harcode somewhere that prevent it work under nixos.

What does your config look like? Can't say I've ever used Nix so can't really help

[olimorris]

Does nixos call the Makefile? That file only exists to run tests in dev

[tmpm697]

Idk but from what I've tested, remove Makefile the plugin load ok, but i got this error when issue :SessionSave:

E5108: Error executing lua .../myNeovimPackages/start/persisted/lua/persisted/init.lua:66: attempt to concatenate field 'branch_separator' (a nil value)

Could this be because you're passing an empty table to the setup function? It's defined in the config.lua file

[tmpm697]

from what i've tested, i can assure that having Makefile under this root project folder, nixpkgs will invoke --> this dues too some kind of assumption for testing plugin maybe? i don't quite sure but remove it make it build ok. (or might be when building, it put the folder under a sanbox that stylua is not avail)

this plugin appeaared in nixpkgs but recent deleted i think, you can check that it listed here but if you pull it, it actually not found currently.

Can you help to have Makefile always return ok? or move it somewhere else in sub-folder?

Just wanted to pass on this discussion from my other plugin and in particular this comment
