Error while updating "minpac". Error code: 128

[Ferrodata]

First of all, for several week I had no problems with minpac. All works fine until today:
Using neovim, try to run "PackageUpdate" and get the message: "Username for 'https://github.com': ". The status line shows error code 128 and neovim freeze. After I commented out all plugins and run "PackageClean" (no problems) I run "PackageUpdate" again. Now I got the error "Error plugins: 1".

This is my init.vim:

" PLUGINS
  packadd minpac
  call minpac#init()
   
  " minpac must have {'type': 'opt'} so that it can be loaded with `packadd`
 call minpac#add('k-takata/minpac', {'type': 'opt'})
  
 " Add other plugins here
 call minpac#add('vim-airline/vim-airline')
 "call minpac#add('mklabs/split-term.vim')
 "call minpac#add('tpope/vim-commentary')
 "call minpac#add('tpope/vim-dispatch')
 "call minpac#add('radenling/vim-dispatch-neovim')
 "call minpac#add('aimondi/delimitMate')
 "call minpac#add('vifm/neovim-vifm')
 
 command! PackUpdate call minpac#update()
 command! PackClean call minpac#clean()

Error while updating "minpac". Error code: 128

This message is shown when the git command returns the error code 128, but I don't know what does it mean.
Do you see any other messages? Does :mes show anything else?

[Ferrodata]

No, neovim freeze and after I restarted it, there are no messages available.

Same problem 🤔

@Ferrodata that error happens when you have any package name misspelled 🙋‍♂️ , cheers!

I'm getting this same error, but it's not because the name is misspelled - I just verified that. What I do see when I go look, is that for some reason the git directory for the package is dirty, and I don't know why that would happen, and you can't just reset the working directory (because it's grafted? I don't know Git well enough to really know what that is). I've been able to resolve it by removing the package and then adding it again, but that's not ideal.

I'm currently getting this error with maralla/completer.vim.

My config, in its barest form, is:

call minpac#init({'verbose': 3})
call minpac#add('maralla/completer.vim')
packloadall

From the error messages, I get the following:

completer.vim: remote: Repository not found.
completer.vim: fatal: repository 'https://github.com/maralla/completer.vim.git/' not found
completer.vim:
Error while updating "completer.vim".  Error code: 128

It seems like minpac is appending a trailing slash currently to the repo URL currently.
https://github.com/maralla/completer.vim.git does exist, but https://github.com/maralla/completer.vim.git/ does not.

I'm currently running minpac at commit 9659ef5, which is latest master as of the time of this post.

I consider to change the default value of 'verbose' from 1 to 2, so that users can easily check the reason of the error.

@alex-laties It seems that you misspelled the repository.
maralla/completer.vim should be maralla/completor.vim (er -> or).

[k-takata]

Now the default value of the 'verbose' option is changed to 2.
I hope that useful information is shown by that.

Closing for now.
