4.26.0 broken in Ubuntu + Vim

[dror-g]

please complete the following information:

• OS version: Ubuntu 22.04
• Editor: Vim (foreveeeer!!!!)
• Editor version: 8.2
• Programming language: python
• TabNine extension version: codota/deoplete-tabnine and tbodt/deoplete-tabnine
• Engine version: 4.26.0

Issue Details:
Getting OS error 13: PermissionDenied on cache/config/model folder /home/user/.config/TabNine/model_api .

I know Vim is no longer supported, but everyhing seems to be working fine with binary version 4.24.0 .
Installed using codota deoplete-tabnine using vim-Plug.
Can force older version 4.24.0 by altering install.sh to use hardcoded version rather than fetching laters,
or copying/linking ~/.vim/plugged/deoplete-tabnine/binaries/4.24.0/ to ~/.vim/plugged/deoplete-tabnine/binaries/4.26.0/.
Doing so TabNine works as always in Vim - getting completions and can open config using TabNine:config in buffer.

This holds for only a few moments though until the binary detects newer version and forces an update.

Checked all permissions on .config/Tabnine and .vim/plugged/deoplete-tabnine - all files owned by user.
Binaries are set as executable in .vim/plugged/deoplete-tabnine.

Any idea why this happens in 4.26 and not 4.24?
Suggestion on how to pin to version 4.24 or disable auto-update perhaps?

Thanks! huge fan.

Hi Dror, vim and deoplete are definitely not officially supported.. but let's see what we can do. Are you able to turn on logs on Tabnine binary? if so. please attach the logs here

[dror-g]

Hi @amirbilu ! was hoping you'll pick this up :)

Please find attached two logfiles found in ~/.vim/plugged/deoplete-tabnine/
One tagged -firstRun is after PlugInstall and restart of vim for first time, notice PermissionDenied on /home/nihil/.config/TabNine/models_api - it does not exist (entire .config/TabNine folder was created by 4.26.0 binary on first run, not by deoplete-tabnine post-install script).

The one tagged -secondRun is after I shutdown vim, manually created the models_api folder, and restarted.
No effect though... still permissionDenied even though entire path is owned by user.

Thanks for your help!
And keep in mind locking TabNine to version 4.24.0 is a valid solution as far as I'm concerned...

tabnine_rCURRENT-firstRun.log

tabnine_rCURRENT-secondRun.log

I also tried setting the TabNine binary arguments to the ones found in codota/tabnine-nvim.
in file ~/.vim/plugged/deoplete-tabnine/rplugin/python3/deoplete/sources/tabnine.py
orginal:
TabNine --client deoplete --log-file-path /home/nihil/.vim/plugged/deoplete-tabnine/tabnine.log

modified to:
TabNine --client nvim --client-metadata ide-restart-counter=0 pluginVersion=1.6.0 --log-file-path /home/nihil/.vim/plugged/deoplete-tabnine/tabnine.log

No effect.. same permissionDenied error.

Oh hey... it happens in NeoVim as well !

Just tried installing in NeoVim, using lazy.nvim as described in codota/tabnine-nvim readme,
Binaries downloaded and extracted, watchod is running and TabNine process running when nvim is open.

But :TabNineStatus is stuck at Loading, so looked at the log and same error! AccessDenied and log looks exactly like the 4.26.0 log in deoplete-tabnine attached above.

Could this be an Ubuntu 22.04 issue? Apparmor perhaps?

NeoVim log:
TabNineLog_rCURRENT.log

ps -ef | grep TabNine output:
ps_out.txt

tree . inside tabnine-nvim dir (which is in ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/tabnine-nvim:
tabnine_tree.txt

Following tabnine-nvim closed issues at the moment, like issue #33

[dror-g]

Not AppArmor. disabled it and still can't create model_api folder.

[amirbilu]

Hi @dror-g .. I see something crashing in your logs. I'm running this through the team. Will keep you updated.

[dror-g]

Same crash on deprecated vim plugin, and supported neovim plugin,
But!
tabnine-nvim works if I run nvim as root and install it there (in /root/.config/nvim/init.lua).

Something in the OS is blocking it... the .config folders are all with 0770 permissions... :|

Thanks for your help!

[amirbilu]

@dror-g can you share the output of ls -lrh ~/.local/share/TabNine ?

[dror-g]

ls_lrh.txt

wow is that ment to be owned by root?!

[amirbilu]

Definitely not :) can you change the ownership to your user?

[dror-g]

oh wow, yes! I actually removed tabnine in nvim Lazy, deleted ~/.local/share/TabNine folder and ~/.config/TabNine,
Then re-installed in nvim with Lazy..

It works!!!

So what created these files in ~/.local as root? maybe the deoplete-tabnine install?
I'll do a test to see if the vim version still works.

[dror-g]

Works in vim as well!!
Removed deoplete-tabnine, PlugClean, added again, PlugInstall - back in business.

No idea what caused it to create those files as root... or that they even existed. The logfile errors kept complaining about .config/TabNine , looked again and there's no mention of .local/share/TabNine in them...

Sorry for the hassle! I know it's not supported anymore but you did fix it in both nvim and vim for me :D
Thanks!

[dror-g]

Closing as the issue started with deoplete-tabnine which is no longer supported.
If you encounter this issue the fix is above, but it's not likely with the new tabnine-nvim plugin.
Might try to reproduce but doesn't seem worth it.

Thanks @amirbilu and team!

Thank you! appreciate your close engagement!
