Bug Description
Hi, I'm running openbsd 7.6 on my pc but I have the same issue on FreeBSD 14.1. I followed the instruction to install LazyVim but I found that LazyVim has found some problem with blink.cmp. On LazyHealth I found the error that is something like: eventi: InsertError it seems that the error concern a compile issue. So I entered on ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/blink.cmp and I run the command "cargo build". And the following is the error:
NVIM v0.10.1 Build type: Release LuaJIT 2.1.1713484068 Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info
Relevant configuration
No response
neovim version
v0.10.1
blink.cmp version
don't know
You need to use nightly rust if you want to use the main branch: https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/concepts/channels.html#working-with-nightly-rust
Otherwise, you can use the latest release which will automatically download a binary so you don't need to build yourself. There should be an option in LazyVim for this
sorry my english is not the best english in the world. But i don't understand what is the subject of your answer. You said to use "latest release" but i don't understand what you mean. Do you mean the latest release of rust? I can't download the latest release of rust and compile it because in this way i would break the openbsd package system. Also rustup doesn't exist on openbsd because it hasn't been ported yet. I don't think it's a local problem of my machine because i have a vps always on openbsd with a very basic system on shell and i have the same problem. So i assume it's a common problem for all openbsd and freebsd installations.
No worries at all. I didn't realize you were on OpenBSD; we don't provide prebuilt binaries for that system yet.
If you can figure out how to get nightly rust on OpenBSD, the error should go away after a re-install of blink.cmp. Otherwise, you'll want to wait for me to add support, or you may switch to nvim-cmp via the LazyVim extra: https://www.lazyvim.org/extras/coding/nvim-cmp
Strangely enough, after updating via rustup toolchain install nightly blink.cmp compilation still fails.. w/ the exact same error the previous user described. im on macOS sequoia 15.2 though. running neovim nightly (via bob-nvim) & the Lazy manager.
idk why but 'cargo +nightly build --release' returns an error stating "no such command: +nightly". Even though rustup has the nightly toolchain set as the default..
It's possible you have a system install of cargo that's overriding rustup but I'm not sure
You were right. I have rust and rustup installed via brew. the brew-rust 'cargo' overrode the brew-rustup nightly. had to export /opt/homebrew/opt/rustup/bin:$PATH to my .zshrc & reload kitty terminal. Thanks for the advice!
Quick question: how hard would it be to include logic into the plugin to automatically download the binary if compilation fails? I can't imagine it would be too difficult, but idk rust at all.
We'll already download the latest release when you're on a release tag via version = '*', if you're not building locally. That happens in lua rather than in rust though
-
FreeBSD on x86_64 is supported by Rust as "Tier 2 with Host Tools" => rustup and nightly are available to build blink.cmp binaries
-
OpenBSD is supported as "Tier3" by Rust (see https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/openbsd.html) => rustup and nightly are not available for this platform - unable to build blink.cmp binaries
