no alt-text, neovim complaining
Show content

amazing how often the neovim ecosystem will silently break my config and leave me digging through the internals to figure out how to fix it

currently trying to figure out why this (see pic) happens every time I open certain types of windows, and then breaks all of my highlighting

and this is after I fixed my Lua LSP config which was broken by… something, at some point. I’m so tired of this shit. I just want an editor that works

the best part of using neovim is looking through the code of your broken editor using your broken editor

okay I’m out of ideas for fixing this besides downgrading back to neovim 0.11 which is what I’m going to do for now

phew okay nothing is broken now, but I do not have the energy to figure out what the problem was. so I guess I’m not switching to 0.12 until something changes. maybe my treesitter plugin is broken on 0.12 so I just need to wait for it to be fixed again

@kasdeya For the record, it seems https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter has gone into archival mode after a discussion that referred to 0.12 being some kind of a requirement? I don't really understand this fully, but I'm not a neovim user either. Maybe you can make more sense out of it, knowing the ecosystem a little better. Or whether that plugin specifically even applies to you.

@fargate @kasdeya that's a pretty insane update if I've ever seen one... So the maintainer gave up on the project?

@fargate oh wow that sucks - I’ve been relying on this plugin for a while and I don’t really know how to replicate its functionality in any other way. as far as I can tell there aren’t even any up-to-date tutorials for how to do that, since details like this about neovim change so often

it kinda makes me wish that I had stuck with regular Vim, to be honest. I wonder if Vim has LSP support these days

thank you for finding this btw! it’s hard to say whether this is related or not, but it definitely helps a lot for me to know

@shijikori @kasdeya It would appear so, based on the exchange of messages in the discussion. Then again, they were being told to do that and already seemed stressed so I can't exactly fault them. Do take these musings with a grain of salt though, for as I mentioned I'm not really in on the neovim ecosystem. This is just something that I happened to catch on to in my fedi feed.

@kasdeya @fargate yeah. Can confirm, VIM does have LSP support.

I personally use vim-lsp( https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp ) . If you like, I can link you to my VIM config for you to edit.

@ilobmirt @fargate ooh thank you! I might take you up on that at some point. it’s going to be a massive pain to switch because I have some fairly complex workflow stuff installed in neovim, but honestly if neovim keeps spontaneously breaking itself then I might just have to
