Issue when trying to use the api example open_window() command.

[MostHated]

Hey there,
I am having issues with the API examples (api.open_window() command). I came across a testing script in another thread and gave it a try to see if it was just me that was doing something wrong or not.
I ran the script and ended up with the same issue as my original plugin: E5108: Error executing lua Value of type () couldn't be pushed on the stack: "non-float cannot have \'row\'"..
When I ran the tests that were included in ths repo (using nightly nvim), all the window ones passed, which threw me off a bit.

Doing some searching on the issue, it seems like it may have something to do with setting row/column and then having to set the window relative setting again after that? Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the nvim backend yet to try and do much more diagnostic, myself, outside of doing something silly:

I didn't expect much from this, but figured it might be worth a shot, lol.

let config = WindowConfig::builder()
     .relative(WindowRelativeTo::Editor)
     .width(10)
     .row(3)
     .col(3)
     .relative(WindowRelativeTo::Editor)
     .build();

Upon running the script, it looks like there might be another issue with the mlua example that I had not noticed, but wanted to still report it.

_ ✗  ./examples.sh

That error message is pretty confusing but the issue is that you're not setting the height field. Note that doing the equivalent in Lua also results in an error:

:lua vim.api.nvim_open_win(0, false, {relative="editor", width=10, row=3, col=3})
->
Error [..] Must specify 'height'

I appreciate the reply.

I first saw this error from a fresh clone of the repo, built the example/api, setup nvim as specified, then ran the open_window command and got that error. Everything else after that (the examples in my initial post) were me just trying different things to see if I could figure out what was wrong.

I had made a number of changes to things in my local repo, trying different things, just to see what would happen, so I removed that and did a fresh clone again just now, built the api example and tried to run it and it segfaulted when doing the open_window command. That might be my fault, though. I see there has been a lot of commits since I made this post and setup my example plugin, so I will go back and review to see if there is anything new I missed that has to be done on my end.

That said, I am not sure if the height field was missing from the example/api at the time I made this post? I had made no changes to it prior to my first attempt and receiving that error, but it's been a decent amount of time, so I do not recall now that I removed the original repo.

Thanks,

Can you try running your code again using v0.3.0? I just ran that example and it works fine for me on Neovim 0.9.0. If you're still experiencing this issue can you post the exact code that you're running?

[MostHated]

The segfault I received was from doing a fresh clone of main moments before my reply. I switched branch to v0.3.0 and tried again with the same process and result.

cargo b --example api --features neovim-nightly
cp ./target/debug/examples/libapi.so ~/.local/share/nvim/api/lua/api.so

I had this in my config at first, but causes nvim to segfault right off the rip.
I commented out the actual call (leaving in the rtp addition), then opened it up and tried to just run lua require('api') and it segfaulted again.

-- init.lua
-- plugin location ~/.local/share/nvim/api/lua/api.so
vim.cmd(string.format('set runtimepath+=%s', "~/.local/share/nvim/api"))

local status_ok, _ = pcall(require, "api")
if status_ok then
    vim.notify("nvim api loaded!")
else 
    vim.notify("Failed to load nvim api test")
end

NVIM v0.9.0-dev-554+g6f25623e7
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Looking over the readme and such again, it doesn't appear that I am doing anything incorrectly, but if I am, I do apologize, I am not catching what that might be.

Just to be sure I was not losing my marbles with my original post, I found the project I made from a copy of the api example which was build with 0.2, which is what prompted making this issue post. I did indeed have height, width, col, row.

I also tried a fresh pull of the repo just now, and tried again to build the api demo and loaded it up in nvim with the same result as prior:

I tried checking both the nvim logs as well as syslog, but didn't see any mention of anything in there. Are there any oxi logs that I am not seeing that I should check and post?
