Not working on neovim 0.9 +

[saifulapm]

Hello, On neovim nighty, It's not working. Just cashing neovim.

Share your neovim and OS versions.

Same for me, running :Silicon is crashing neovim.

❯ v --version
NVIM v0.9.0-dev-2473+g3285cd6ec-dirty
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

config:

return {
  "krivahtoo/silicon.nvim",
  build = "./install.sh build",
  cmd = { "Silicon" },
  opts = {
    font = "Iosevka Nerd Font=21",
    theme = "Catppuccin-latte"
  }
}

macOS 13.1

@cschmatzler Is there an error message on crash?

[saifulapm]

No error. Just exit Neovim.

[cschmatzler]

Can confirm this - nvim closes as if I ran :q.

[saifulapm]

Yes. And If I don't lazyload Silicon.nvim, then It don't allow to enter neovim. Exit on start.

It seems to not be working for me on Arch Linux with nvim 0.9, but works on MacOS with the same 0.9 nvim version. I hope I can use it on my arch too <3

[krivahtoo]

Yeah, I just updated my nightly and it seems to be broken on the latest nightly

[krivahtoo]

8bbcd5b should fix this lmk if not

[chris-av]

@krivahtoo didn't appear to fix it for me. I have 8bbcd5b in my git history for the repo. Currently using nvim 0.9.0 and on 2016 Macbook Pro. I updated neovim today and that's how I found this bug.

Similar behavior as the others: running nvim . shows blank screen and then it just exits. No errors printed on the screen. Happens when I require('silicon').

The regular silicon command works on my terminal. I made sure to update it to the latest version.

[bezlant]

Same here. My neovim crashes if I have require('silicon')
I'm using Arch Linux. Works on my Macbook though.

[chris-av]

@bezlant Dunno if this helps, but I got mine to work by doing the following:

1. comment out the silicon package from your packer install.
2. purge it from your package manager, in my case, :PackerClean
3. uncomment out the line from your package manager. Reinstall fresh. This time, I built from source ("install.sh build")

Just checked and it works for me now.

Doesn't work still

[bezlant]

@chris-av thank you, unfortunately didn't help.
After updating to neovim 0.9 it keeps crashing on both my linux and mac

[krivahtoo]

I have been quite busy lately. I will work on this as soon as I can.

Interestingly enough I experimented with Emoji fonts today, on the 0.9.0 version on macOS Ventura.
With

font = 'VictorMono Nerd Font=34; Noto Color Emoji'

the image is generated, but no emojis show. With

font = 'VictorMono Nerd Font=34; Apple Color Emoji'

neovim crashes. I do not know whether this helps in narrowing down the issue. I have lazy loaded the plugin, so it loads only on the :%Silicon command.

Update: now I tested this on WSL2 (the linux subsystem of Windows). The shared lib was rust compiled fine, but if I start it with require('silicon').setup() then neovim crashes immediately.

If I put a very simple opts table in the setup() call (containing only

{ background = "#1d2021" }

then I get the error:

Failed to run config for silicon.nvim
Value of type () couldn't be pushed on the stack: "\'complete\' used without \'nargs\'"
# stacktrace:

[michaelrommel]

Hi,
as I was having trouble using the rust binding and was having crashes, I looked at an alternative. The standalone silicon tool worked for me on all platforms that I am using, so I thought about using that as external call.

I created a pure lua plugin, that covers the standard funtionality and also took inspiration from your idea of gobbling.

If you are interested, the plugin lives here: https://github.com/michaelrommel/nvim-silicon

Thank you for this inspiration.

Michael.

This should be fixed via 06a4549

I encounted some questions.
OS：win 10,
nvim: 0.9.4.

I can't even run install.sh with nvim-oxi 0.3.0.
here is the error when I ran cargo build --release in git bash:

error[E0412]: cannot find type `PathBuf` in this scope
   --> C:\Users\Administrator\.cargo\git\checkouts\nvim-oxi-68d2fdc1d1cdbe82\53ceec5\crates\oxi-types\src\string.rs:157:23
    |
157 | impl From<String> for PathBuf {
    |                       ^^^^^^^ not found in this scope
    |
help: consider importing this struct
    |
3   + use std::path::PathBuf;
    |

So I forked this repo and updated nvim-oxi to version 0.4.1, and changed function
image.write_to first param in clipboard.rs so that I can compile it.

But when I added require('silicon') in my config and restarted nvim, it quits immediately, without any messages as same as before.

Does this plugin support windows OS?
