Question

It is not clear how I am supposed to install sad on unbuntu

wakywayne opened this issue a year ago · comments

I am on ubuntu and I am unable to figure out what steps I need to take to install sad.

rayx · Answer 1 · Fri Dec 23 2022 14:13:18 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I am not a ubuntu user
on arch I install it with yay -Sy sad

On debian and ubuntu you can download the deb file from https://github.com/ms-jpq/sad/releases/tag/v0.4.22
and install deb file with

sudo dpkg -i sadxxxx.deb

wakywayne · Answer 2 · Tue Dec 27 2022 06:13:00 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

do i copy it to my root folder and then run this command? Sorry if this is a dumb question I am new to neovim

wakywayne · Answer 3 · Tue Dec 27 2022 06:13:42 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I am not sure where I need to install this file is basically my question.

rayx · Answer 4 · Wed Dec 28 2022 08:13:41 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It is more a question on how to install deb package on Ubuntu.
You can download latest version of sad here: https://github.com/ms-jpq/sad/releases/download/v0.4.22/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.deb

and run sudo dpkg -i x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.deb

wakywayne · Answer 5 · Fri Dec 30 2022 05:44:15 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I moved the file into my .config/nvim folder and ran your command. When I try and start nvim I get the following error message: Error while calling lua chunk: ...e/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/sad.nvim/lua/sad/utils.lua:26: Vim(packadd):E919: Directory not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/opt/guihua.lua" stack traceback: in function cmd & in function 'load_plugin'

How does my linux know where this file is located when I rin the sudo dpkg -i x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.deb command? And is it really safe to download random files that I can't even read from the internet? When I try to read the file it is a bunch of random characters.

rayx · Answer 6 · Fri Dec 30 2022 06:50:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Seems the guihua.lua did not installed for your nvim. Did you install that plugin as well?

wakywayne · Answer 7 · Sun Jan 01 2023 05:06:43 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I hadn't. I installed guihua and the lua-language-server, but now when I try to use sad it goes to open the gui for a microsecond and then diapears. When I run checkhealth I get nothing mentioning sad. I also globally isnstalled the fd package as well

rayx · Answer 8 · Sun Jan 01 2023 09:06:33 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I post a minium init.lua for your reference

vim.cmd([[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]])
vim.cmd([[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]])

local package_root = "/tmp/nvim/site/pack"
local install_path = package_root .. "/packer/start/packer.nvim"

local function load_plugins()
  print("load plugins")
  require("packer").startup({
    function(use)
      use({ "wbthomason/packer.nvim" })
      use({
        "ray-x/sad.nvim",
        requires = { "ray-x/guihua.lua", run = "cd lua/fzy && make" },
        config = function()
          require("sad").setup({})
        end,
      })
    end,
    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = install_path .. "/plugin/packer_compiled.lua",
    },
  })
end

if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim",
    install_path,
  })
  load_plugins()
  require("packer").sync()
else
  load_plugins()
end

vim.cmd("colorscheme murphy")

I do not think it relates to ubuntu.

wakywayne · Answer 9 · Sun Jan 01 2023 12:49:46 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I really REALLY appreciate you taking the time to help me. I tried updating my packer file and I am still getting the same behavior. I have posted my nvim to github if it isn't way out of line for me to ask could you take a quick look at it?
heres the link

My set up is as follows:

Every configuration for my plugins is in it's cooresponding file in lua/user/
Every Plugin is imported in my plugin file lua/users/plugins.lua
Lastly I have my root init.lua file that requires all of my other files

Once again I really appreciate you taking the time to help me and I hope we can get this working it looks like an awesome plugin.

rayx · Answer 10 · Sun Jan 01 2023 14:54:49 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Strange enough. I trash my setup and using yours. It works just fine

maybe you can recompile your packer file or cleanup all cache?

wakywayne · Answer 11 · Mon Jan 02 2023 10:45:12 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Ugh... Could there be anything you have installed on your local computer that I don't? I would assume it is something to do with npm install -g fd-find command? I ran previous commands with sudo apt install but it wasn't working. I thought I uninstalled it via apt, but if I didn't could they be conflicting and causing an issue? Is there anyway to check what I have installed via apt and globally with npm?

wakywayne · Answer 12 · Mon Jan 02 2023 10:54:43 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I think my problem is with my delta installation, however there docs really isn't clear on how to install it. I am using WSL's unbuntu so I have sudo apt install, but I try that and it doesn't work.

I am also getting two error message:

&termguicolors must be set
please install delta e.g brew installdelta
- I have ran this command to try and install it sudo apt install delta, but the message doesn't go away and the docs are not clear on how to install git-delta

Please Note I was getting the &termguicolors error before I tried to install this package
Thank you again for helping me the fact that you took the time to clone my repo means a lot.

rayx · Answer 13 · Mon Jan 02 2023 12:55:13 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It seems delta is not in your path. You can symbol link it to /usr/bin/delta.
Btw, the plugin does not require delta, you can use diff or diff-so-fancy

wakywayne · Answer 14 · Tue Jan 03 2023 04:50:59 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I managed to install delta by downloading a .deb file and running dpkg -i filename. I did this in my .config/nvim folder and I am able to use the delta comand in the console, but still not working. Should I have downloaded the .deb file in a different folder? I also pushed my latest version to git hub in case the issue is now with my code and not the packages I need to install.

rayx · Answer 15 · Tue Jan 03 2023 05:37:02 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

What is the location of delta? If it not in your /usr/bin, you can try to put it to /usr/bin dir.
If delta installed. You can run

:!delta

in vim command line to check if you get a
command not found: delta error

wakywayne · Answer 16 · Tue Jan 03 2023 12:02:19 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I do not get this error it seems that I have delta installed globally as it works in my root directory as well

wakywayne · Answer 17 · Tue Jan 03 2023 12:19:36 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I thought maybe it was my sad installation that was the problem so I went to their git hub and installed this deb file for unbuntu:
x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.deb
I have the sad command but the same behaviore is happening with the gui just apearing for a microsecond and then leaving. Could it be the &termguicolors must be set error?

rayx · Answer 18 · Tue Jan 03 2023 12:20:47 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

What was the error massage when you run sad?
A quick way to test, in one of your folder run:

fd  |  sad  'from_string' 'to_string'

wakywayne · Answer 19 · Tue Jan 03 2023 12:29:01 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

When I run that it seems to work, but the Sad command does not

rayx · Answer 20 · Tue Jan 03 2023 13:27:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Do you see any error messages?

wakywayne · Answer 21 · Tue Jan 03 2023 22:31:16 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

when I run fd | sad 'from_string' 'to_string' ?
No I get no error messages I also get no error messages when I run :Sad

wakywayne · Answer 22 · Tue Jan 03 2023 22:57:33 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I think I made some progress I was able to get rid of the GUI colors error and I now have a different behavior. It seems to only be working in the current

2023-01-03.09-36-03.mp4

file

rayx · Answer 23 · Wed Jan 04 2023 06:11:07 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

May it be delta setup?
Could you check https://github.com/dandavison/delta on git diff and pager setup?
Also please set sad like this:

require('sad').setup(
  {
    debug = true,
    autoclose = false,
  }
)

wakywayne · Answer 24 · Thu Jan 05 2023 02:11:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

This is what I get after adding those to the settings

"export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';
export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=234;
export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;
fd  |  sad  --pager delta 'onomatopoeia' 'onono'"
9

if i manually input the text:

"export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';
export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=234;export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;
fd  |  sad  --pager delta 'onomat' 'ono'"
17

I made sure my setup was the same as what they say in the GitHub link you said to check and the behavior was the same

rayx · Answer 25 · Thu Jan 05 2023 07:28:29 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Could you update to the latest version and setup

require('sad').setup(
  {
    debug = true,
    vsplit = false,
    autoclose = false,
  }
)

wakywayne · Answer 26 · Thu Jan 05 2023 11:28:17 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

When you stay update to the latest version you mean your sad wrapper or the actual sad package? Sorry if I am being dumb here

rayx · Answer 27 · Thu Jan 05 2023 12:18:25 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

no worries.
You need to update the sad.nvim plugin.

wakywayne · Answer 28 · Thu Jan 05 2023 22:14:20 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

this is how I install it :

  -- Sad find and replace
  use { "ray-x/guihua.lua" }

  use({
    "ray-x/sad.nvim",
    requires = { "ray-x/guihua.lua", run = "cd lua/fzy && make" },
  })

wakywayne · Answer 29 · Thu Jan 05 2023 22:18:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

after adding the above to my config file

 "export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=140;export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;fd  |  sad  --pager 'delta -w 140' 'onomato' 'ono'"
{
  autoclose = true,
  cmd = "export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=140;export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;fd  |  sad  --pager 'delta -w 140' 'onomato' 'ono'",
  height_ratio = 0.6,
  term_name = "sad_floaterm",
  vsplit = false,
  width_ratio = 0.6
}

wakywayne · Answer 30 · Thu Jan 05 2023 22:20:32 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I also can't get the GUI to pop up at all again. It is back to disappearing write away no matter what.

rayx · Answer 31 · Fri Jan 06 2023 05:49:48 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

You only need this in your setup:

require('sad').setup(
  {
    debug = true,
    autoclose = false,
  }
)

What are the error messages you see?

I think the only thing may matter is:

vsplit = true,

setting. You can set that to vsplit = false to see does it make any difference.

wakywayne · Answer 32 · Sat Jan 07 2023 00:36:32 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

When I change the config to the above all my console logs is this:

"export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=124;export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;fd  |  sad  --pager 'delta -w 124' 'require' 'require'"
{
  autoclose = true,
  cmd = "export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=124;export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;fd  |  sad  --pager 'delta -w 124' 'requir
e' 'require'",
  height_ratio = 0.6,
  term_name = "sad_floaterm",
  vsplit = false,
  width_ratio = 0.6
}
4

notice that it says auto close is true even tho I set it to false? I have pushed the latest code to my git hub.

rayx · Answer 33 · Sat Jan 07 2023 12:33:11 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Ok, seems there is an error related to autoclose setup. I've updated it. Could you try again and see what is the error on your terminal, thanks!

wakywayne · Answer 34 · Mon Jan 09 2023 09:36:28 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

When I run :packerUpdate it says already up to date it seems the error message has changed though:

"export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=160;export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;fd  |  sad  --pager 'delta -w 160' 'require' 'require'"
{
  autoclose = false,
  cmd = "export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=160;export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;fd  |  sad  --pager 'delta -w 160' 'require' 'require'"
}

It does seem that we are closer though I can consistently get this screen:

rayx · Answer 35 · Mon Jan 09 2023 10:19:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

In the popup floating windows of sad, can you move your cursor to the beginning of
Would you also attach the screenshot what you got when you run following command in bash/zsh

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 90% --layout=reverse --border --multi --bind=ctrl-a:toggle-all';export FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS=160;export FZF_PREVIEW_LINES=33;fd  |  sad  --pager 'delta -w 160' 'require' 'require'

Also what is the delta setup in .gitconfig
Would you check if your delta is setup in .gitconfig?
Please check this for details:
https://dandavison.github.io/delta/configuration.html
Also please set

[delta]
    side-by-side = true

To enable side-by-side preview

wakywayne · Answer 36 · Tue Jan 10 2023 04:52:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I can not seem to move the cursor to reveal more of the screen ( I think that is what you were asking)

Here is my git config in the same directory as my init.lua file :

[core]
    pager = delta

[interactive]
    diffFilter = delta --color-only

[delta]
    navigate = true    # use n and N to move between diff sections
    light = false      # set to true if you're in a terminal w/ a light background color (e.g. the default macOS terminal)
    side-by-side = true

[merge]
    conflictstyle = diff3

[diff]
    colorMoved = default

I changed my .gitconfig to match the link you sent me with the addition of `side-by-side = true`

The behavior seemed to be the same

Image when I run your command:

rayx · Answer 37 · Tue Jan 10 2023 06:59:43 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It should do the job. But you can also use what I have now:

[core]
  pager = delta --side-by-side -w ${FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS:-$COLUMNS}

[difftool "sourcetree"]
	cmd = opendiff \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"

[pager]
    log = delta --side-by-side -w ${FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS:-$COLUMNS}
    reflog = delta --side-by-side -w ${FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS:-$COLUMNS}
    show = delta --side-by-side -w ${FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS:-$COLUMNS}
    ;  diff = delta --side-by-side --width ${FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS:-$COLUMNS}   ;; this override core.pager

[interactive]
    diffFilter = delta --color-only

[delta]
    features = line-numbers decorations collared-trogon
    whitespace-error-style = 22 reverse
    side-by-side = true

[delta "decorations"]
    commit-decoration-style = bold yellow box ul
    file-style = bold yellow ul
    file-decoration-style = none

Isn't my code still not working as expected though?

rayx · Answer 39 · Wed Jan 11 2023 08:53:06 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Another thing to check, did you have fzf installed?

wakywayne · Answer 40 · Fri Jan 13 2023 09:48:46 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It seems to be working pretty well 😄 however it isn't returning all of the matches. I have attached a video with the word require as an example.

Please Note:

My video is way too long you only need to see that it only returns three results.

rayx · Answer 41 · Fri Jan 13 2023 18:29:05 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

it looks to me that your fd does not list all files
what is the output if you run following command in your nvim command line input
!fd
also you can change the sad setup:

  ls_file = 'fd',

option to

  ls_file = 'git ls-file',

to see if it makes any difference.

essentially, the plugin is trying to run

 fd | sad 'from-string' 'to-string'

for you, so you can run the above command in your terminal emulator.

wakywayne · Answer 42 · Fri Jan 13 2023 23:34:23 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

When I write !fd it seems to write every possible file path.
When I try to use git ls-file it doesen't work did you mean git ls-files? That seems to have the same problem of not listing all the instances of matching. As require obviously turns up more than 3 times in my code.

rayx · Answer 44 · Sat Jan 14 2023 07:31:04 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thanks for sharing the videos. It makes sense.
In your previous video, you are doing this:

Sad 'require' 'require'

In fact all require in your init.lua will NOT be replaced. So you do not need to select and confirm the replacement in init.lua, so the file list will not show in the pop-up windows.
If you are replacing string with e.g.

Sad 'require' 'REQUIRE'

as the init.lua will be modified so it will be shown in your pop-up windows.
