Gives warning about `number` and `cursorline`

[Farzad Majidfayyaz]

Hi,

I'm lazy loading the plugin, but on startup, it shows warnings about cursorline and number not being set.

This is my config:

 {
  'mawkler/modicator.nvim',
  event = { 'BufNew', 'BufReadPost' },
  init = function()
    -- These are required for Modicator to work
    vim.o.cursorline = true
    vim.o.number = true
    vim.o.termguicolors = true
  end,
  opts = {},
}

Is there something I'm missing from my config?

And the warnings are:

modicator.nvim requires `number` to be set. Run `:set number` or add `vim.o.number = true` to your init.lua 

and:

modicator.nvim requires `cursorline` to be set. Run `:set cursorline` or add `vim.o.cursorline = true` to your init.lua

Hi @farzadmf! Are you by any chance using a start-screen plugin like alpha-nvim, or similar? Or is anything else disabling your vim.o.number or vim.o.cursorline?

[Farzad Majidfayyaz]

Hey @mawkler , thank you for your reply. I am using mini.starter.

I'm probably wrong, but I thought that since I'm loading modicator lazily, its init function should take over, but I guess that's not the case, is it?

Is there anyway I can make modicator work with mini.starter?

@farzadmf lazy.nvim's init are always executed immediately, compared to config which is executed when the plugin gets (lazy)loaded. You could try and move them to config like so:

 {
  'mawkler/modicator.nvim',
  config = function()
    vim.o.cursorline = true
    vim.o.number = true
    vim.o.termguicolors = true
  end,
  opts = {},
}

I get the same warnings with alpha.nvim but for me modicator works as intended, it's just that the warnings aren't aware of start page plugins. I have simply set show_warnings = false in my config to disable the warnings.

I'll go ahead and close this issue. Please let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

Hi @mawkler, i have this exact same problem under lunarvim nightly and neovim nightly.

my config is

    {
        'mawkler/modicator.nvim', -- color line number with insert mode
        -- dependencies = 'mawkler/onedark.nvim', -- Add your colorscheme plugin here
        config = function()
            -- These are required for Modicator to work
            require('modicator').setup({

                highlights = {
                    -- Default options for bold/italic
                    defaults = {
                        bold = true,
                    }
                },
                -- show_warnings = false
            })
            vim.o.cursorline = true
            vim.o.number = true
            vim.o.termguicolors = true
        end,
    },

the error is only about vim.o.number.

also, modicator doesn't work at all.

Not really sure how i could go debugging this

@gipo355 Modicator requires cursorline, number and termguicolors to work. Try setting them before you load modicator, like so:

{
    'mawkler/modicator.nvim', -- color line number with insert mode
    -- dependencies = 'mawkler/onedark.nvim', -- Add your colorscheme plugin here
    config = function()
        -- These are required for Modicator to work
        vim.o.cursorline = true
        vim.o.number = true
        vim.o.termguicolors = true
        require('modicator').setup({

            highlights = {
                -- Default options for bold/italic
                defaults = {
                    bold = true,
                }
            },
            -- show_warnings = false
        })
    end,
},

Hey,

receiving same warning:

modicator.nvim requires `number` to be set. Run `:set number` or add `vim.o.number = true` to your init.lua 

My setup is like this:

use {
    'mawkler/modicator.nvim',
    dependencies = "rose-pine",
    config = function()
        vim.o.cursorline = true
        vim.o.number = true
        vim.o.termguicolors = true
        require('modicator').setup()
    end,
    opts = {},
}

Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?

},

Hi @mawkler, sorry for the late reply.
Just tried your suggestion and I'm still receiving the same problem

[Melker Ulander]

@sebastianstupak @gipo355 The message is just a heads-up to new users. It's fired on the VimEnter autocommand. There may be some other plugin that changes the settings for cursorline/number/termguicolors in between your Modicator config being set and VimEnter being triggered. If Modicator is otherwise working, you can simply disable the warnings by settings show_warnings = false. If Modicator is not working, please post a full minimal config that reproduces the issue here 🙂
