Catppuccin breaks alpha-nvim autocmds

[sharpenedblade]

Description

When using Catppuccin and alpha-nvim at the same time, alpha-nvim autocmds do not get triggered. alpha-nvim will usually start the AlphaReady autocmd, but when using colorscheme catppuccin, the autocmd is not run. Interestingly, it does not matter if Catppuccin is installed or require-ed, it only matters if Catppuccin is set as the active colorscheme. This does not happen with any other colorschemes.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.8.3
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3
Compiled by brew@Ventura

Features: +acl +iconv +tui

Operating system and version

macOS 13.0.1

Catppuccin version / branch / rev

main

Steps to reproduce

1. nvim -nu minimal.lua

Expected behavior

The autocmd is run, so you see AlphaReady called in the command window.

Actual behavior

The autocmd is not run, so you do not see anything in the command window. Commenting out the colorscheme catppuccin call makes the autocmd work again.

Minimal config

-- `minimal.lua` used for reproducible configuration
-- Open with `nvim --clean -u minimal.lua`

local is_windows = vim.fn.has("win32") == 1
local function join(...)
  local sep = is_windows and "\\" or "/"
  return table.concat({ ... }, sep)
end

local root_tmp = is_windows and os.getenv("TEMP") or "/tmp"
local lazypath = join(root_tmp, "nvim", "lazy")

if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
    vim.fn.system({
        "git",
        "clone",
        "--filter=blob:none",
        "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
        "--branch=stable",
        lazypath,
    })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

require("lazy").setup({
    { "catppuccin/nvim", name = "catppuccin" },
    -- ADD PLUGINS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
    { "goolord/alpha-nvim" } 
})

require("catppuccin").setup({
    flavour = "mocha"
})

-- ADD INIT.LUA SETTINGS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE

local alpha_config = {
    layout = {},
    opts = {}
}
require("alpha").setup(alpha_config)

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
    pattern = "AlphaReady",
    callback = function()
        print("AlphaReady called")
    end,
})

-- COMMENT this to make the autocmd work
vim.cmd.colorscheme('catppuccin')

Unable to reproduce with your minimal config.

Running :messages shows AlphaReady called as expected

It might be my system install, I will try in a fresh VM.

It was caused by a borked luajit install, reinstalling luajit fixed the problem.
