bug: error vim.fs not found on launch

[patrykk21]

I installed everything as per documentation (wonderfully written and curated btw!)

However I'm getting the following error when launching the command

Error detected while processing /Users/vigenerr/.config/nvim/init.lua:

Hi @patrykk21 thanks for the kind words!

error when launching the command

What command are you referring to? When you run kitty_mod+h?

What version of Neovim are you using? nvim --version

nvim v0.9.0 or greater is required for this plugin

[patrykk21]

❯ nvim --version
NVIM v0.9.5
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1710088188

   system vimrc file: "$VIM/sysinit.vim"
  fall-back for $VIM: "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/neovim/0.9.5/share/nvim"

Run :checkhealth for more info

I was referring to this command

# Browse scrollback buffer in nvim
map kitty_mod+f kitty_scrollback_nvim

But any command gives the same problem.

@patrykk21 I am not able to reproduce. I installed NvChad with kitty-scrollback.nvim on Neovim v0.9.5 (I'm using MacOS).

• Do you have any of these errors opening nvim normally (without kitty-scrollback.nvim) ?
• What OS are you using?
• Do you have multiple version of nvim installed? Could you try running which -a nvim and provide the output?

I came across https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76449235/error-while-calling-lua-chunk-vim-init-packages-lua0-module-vim-version-no which has a similar error and mentions a mismatched neovim runtime.

My guess at the moment is that you may have another Neovim runtime and for some reason kitty-scrollback.nvim is finding that instead of the correct one for NVIM v0.9.5.

Side note: NVChad https://nvchad.com/docs/quickstart/install says that Neovim 0.10 is a prereq. So, you may want to try upgrading to Neovim from 0.9.5 to 0.10.

[patrykk21]

❯ which -a nvim
/opt/homebrew/bin/nvim
/usr/local/bin/nvim

🤦🏻

It doesn't throw this error anymore... however I will need to update kitty to make use of this feature :)

Thank you so much for your help!

@patrykk21 awesome no problem!
