Nvim-Dap and :DIInstall

[TheEccentricDuck]

Problem description

After you start up LunarVim, type :DIInstall cpppr_vsc, and LunarVim reports that :DIInstall isn't a valid editor command. This is unexpected because the LunarVim docs say that this command can be used to install the CPP debugger, and debuggers for quite a lot of other languages. Checkout this link: https://www.lunarvim.org/languages/c_cpp.html#debugger. Also, when I check the Packer status, it doesn't list nvim-dap as one of the installed packages, even though it is listed in plugins.lua. Can anyone explain this? Thank you very much.

LunarVim version

master-46b8aee

Neovim version (>= 0.6.1)

NVIM v0.6.1

Operating system/version

5.15.28-1-MANJARO

DIInstall is from DAPInstall and not nvim-dap

first off this plugin has been deprecated -> https://github.com/Pocco81/DAPInstall.nvim
and we will remove it from lunarvim pretty soon,

also you need to enable dap first

lvim.builtin.dap.active = true

I’m really sorry, I’m new to nvim and lvim so I just didn’t know how to fix it, thank you very much.

Hi, I have enabled dap and DAPInstall, nvim-dap plugins are installed.
However, LunarVim still report ":DIInstall isn't a valid editor command", could you please help on this? (neovim 0.7.0)

Hi, @abzcoding

I have the same problem. We loved lunarvim and want to use our C++ and python development projects. What we missed is the debugger.

We cant find a straight way to install debugger step by step.

:DIInstall ccppr_vsc certainly not working.

@MyraBaba @endlesscpp this issue should be fixed on the rolling branch, since we are using the dev branch of dap-buddy in there

can you guys check if that fixes your issues?

[MyraBaba]

Hi,
@abzcoding I installed rolling branch and still no DIInstall command in editor.

FYI

Hi, @abzcoding I installed rolling branch and still no DIInstall command in editor.

FYI

did you ran :PackerSync or :LvimSyncCorePlugins as well?
I'm on the rolling branch and I have the :DIInstall command

[abzcoding]

please check the output of these commands

git -C ~/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim rev-parse HEAD
ls -l ~/.local/share/lunarvim/site/pack/packer/start/dap-buddy.nvim

[MyraBaba]

Yes after sync there is DBInstall.

now I am trying to make working c++ debugging...

[MyraBaba]

git -C ~/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim rev-parse HEAD
l│aa4c9930d9131c60d7a6f2e9bec8a2f3ba6c4055

ls -l ~/.local/share/lunarvim/site/pack/packer/start/dap-buddy.nvim
no such file

you can check my config or the nvim-dap documentation

btw you are not on the rolling branch, it seems like you are on the master branch

git -C ~/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim status

[abzcoding]

you are on this commit of the master branch -> aa4c993

@abzcoding I installed with
LV_BRANCH=rolling bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lunarvim/lunarvim/rolling/utils/installer/install.sh)

[abzcoding]

@abzcoding I installed with
LV_BRANCH=rolling bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lunarvim/lunarvim/rolling/utils/installer/install.sh)

you need to first uninstall the previous one

bash ~/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim/utils/installer/uninstall.sh
# or
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lunarvim/lunarvim/master/utils/installer/uninstall.sh)

and then install the new one

LV_BRANCH=rolling bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lunarvim/lunarvim/rolling/utils/installer/install.sh)

[MyraBaba]

git -C ~/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim status
On branch rolling
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/rolling'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

now on the rolling..

Lets see how much we can roll :)

@abzcoding vimspector vs nvim-dap according to your experience which is learned in the field.?

@abzcoding vimspector vs nvim-dap according to your experience which is learned in the field.?

usually people ( at least with neovim ) use nvim-dap alongside nvim-dap-ui

[MyraBaba]

@abzcoding I dont knof if its due to I am almost beginner to nvim/lunarvim or nvim-dap things complicated and assuming that everybody has some background for configuration .

where I need to put the dap.configuration. ?
there is numerous dap.lua:

/home/alp2080/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim/lua/lvim/core/dap.lua
/home/alp2080/.local/share/lunarvim/site/pack/packer/start/nvim-dap/lua/dap.lua
/home/alp2080/.local/share/lunarvim/site/pack/packer/start/nvim-dap/plugin/dap.lua

is assuming to put there :

dap.configurations.cpp = {
{
name = "Launch file",
type = "codelldb",
request = "launch",
program = function()
return vim.fn.input("Path to executable: ", vim.fn.getcwd() .. "/", "file")
end,
cwd = "${workspaceFolder}",
stopOnEntry = true,
},
}
dap.configurations.c = dap.configurations.cpp

or where.

If I can successfully use neo/lunarvim for c++ /python I will transfer all the dev to the lunarvim. I hope its not and utopia that I believe all dev team more productive if all we transfer to the terminal based work.

thx for your help

[abzcoding]

please do not touch any files under ~/.local/share/lunarvim
just put your configurations in ~/.config/lvim/config.lua

for example, put this in your ~/.config/lvim/config.lua

local dap = require("dap")
  dap.configurations.cpp = {
    {
      name = "Launch file",
      type = "codelldb",
      request = "launch",
      program = function()
        return vim.fn.input("Path to executable: ", vim.fn.getcwd() .. "/", "file")
      end,
      cwd = "${workspaceFolder}",
      stopOnEntry = true,
    },
  }
  dap.configurations.c = dap.configurations.cpp

@abzcoding

Is there any tutorial for newbies for lvim to setup full c++ lunarvim including to debugging ? Best practices .

We are almost giving up due to struggling to setup debugging environment..
