Error executing lua E114: Missing quote

[bashtoni]

I'm using LunarVim, and I added copilot to my Packer config (lvim.plugins) like so:

  -- github copilot
  {
    "zbirenbaum/copilot.lua",
    event = "InsertEnter",
    config = function ()
      vim.schedule(function() require("copilot") end)
    end
  },
  {
    "zbirenbaum/copilot-cmp",
    after = {"copilot.lua", "nvim-cmp"},
    config = function ()
      lvim.builtin.cmp.formatting.source_names["copilot"] = ""
      table.insert(lvim.builtin.cmp.sources, {name = "copilot"})
    end
  },

When I enter insert mode I get this error message:

Error detected while processing InsertEnter Autocommands for "*":

You aren't on neovim nightly. You are using .6 so nvim_create_autocmd isn't a function yet.

Try getting a nightly image from the neovim github page or build one from source.

[zbirenbaum]

Since it was fast and I think that there was the only place I used it, I added a version check. PackerSync and try again.

Let me know if it works so I can approve this for .6 if it does.

[bashtoni]

Thanks. Sadly, I've updated and the only difference seems to be that the error is one line further on:

Run this in command mode and lmk what it says:
lua print(vim.fn.has('nvim-0.7'))

[bashtoni]

That command returns 0

Thanks, we're getting somewhere!

I think LunarVim installs plugins somewhere different than the default. Can you locate where exactly your plugins are installed and let me know the path?

Then, can you supply the output of :lua print(vim.fn.stdpath("data"))

[bashtoni]

It seems to be storing them in $HOME/.local/share/lunarvim/site/pack/packer

:lua print(vim.fn.stdpath("data")) returns /home/sam/.local/share/nvim

[zbirenbaum]

@bashtoni Just pushed a fix. Set your packer use to look like this:

use {
      "zbirenbaum/copilot.lua",
      event = "InsertEnter",
      config = function ()
         vim.schedule(function()
            require("copilot.copilot_handler").start(vim.fn.expand("$HOME") .. "/.local/share/lunarvim/")
         end)
      end,
   },

edit: sorry had my non standard plugin install format pasted.

[bashtoni]

Thanks for all your help - that's working now.
