Describe the bug

Formatting with latexindent doesn't work and results in the following error message.

E5108: Error executing lua: Vim:E903: Process failed to start: Unknown system error -86: "/Users/milan/.local/shar
e/nvim/mason/bin/latexindent"

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open a tex file.
2. Try formatting it with latexindent and conform.

Expected Behavior

Proper formatting and no error message.

My conform config

config = function()
  -- formatting with conform
  local conform = require("conform")
  conform.setup({
    log_level = vim.log.levels.DEBUG,
    formatters_by_ft = {
      c = { "clang_format" },
      cpp = { "clang_format" },
      lua = { "stylua" },
      python = { "ruff_fix", "ruff_format" },
      tex = { "latexindent" },
    },
  })
  vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<Leader>lf", function()
    conform.format({
      lsp_fallback = true,
      async = false,
      timeout_ms = 1000,
    })
    vim.cmd("w")
    -- end
  end, { desc = "Format file or range (in visual mode)" })
end,

Minimal init.lua

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

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

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
  "folke/tokyonight.nvim",
  {
    "stevearc/conform.nvim",
    config = function()
      require("conform").setup({
        log_level = vim.log.levels.DEBUG,
        -- add your config here
      })
    end,
  },
  -- add any other plugins here
}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight")
-- add anything else here

Additional context

All other formatters work (stylua, ruff, etc).

What happens if you run cat <file> | /Users/milan/.local/shar e/nvim/mason/bin/latexindent - in your shell?

[milan-panta]

I get
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: /Users/milan/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/latexindent.
But when I do latexindent -w "file" it indents everything properly. The bad CPU type may be because I'm on an M1 Mac?

[milan-panta]

The logfiles are now giving a different error (only for latexindent, all other formatters work perfectly)
[ERROR] Formatter 'latexindent' error in jobstart: Vim:E903: Process failed to start: Unknown system error -86: "/Users/milan/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/latexindent"

[stevearc]

Smells like something is wrong with the executable. Could be that it was compiled for the wrong CPU architecture. You mentioned that latexindent -w "file" works, my question is: is that the same executable, or something else in your path? What do you see when you run command -v latexindent?

[milan-panta]

I see /Library/TeX/texbin/latexindent.

[stevearc]

That's your answer! You have a working version of latexindent installed at /Library/TeX/texbin/latexindent, but mason has installed a version for the wrong CPU architecture. You should be able to uninstall the mason version and it will work. You could also report a bug to mason that it doesn't install the correct version on mac.
