Commit doesn't work (Error: NVIM server address not set)
Description
I just installed neogit and I can't seem to get the commit functionality working. I tried tweaking ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/neogit/lua/neogit/client.lua which is the file throwing the error But every time a different error is thrown
Neovim version
NVIM v0.10.0 Build type: Release LuaJIT 2.1.1713773202 Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info
Operating system and version
macOS Sonoma 14.5
Steps to reproduce
-
nvim -nu minimal.lua - :Neogit
- press cc
Expected behavior
Open a buffer to edit commit message
Actual behavior
Instead it gives below error And that only pops up for once for a neovim session, after that nothing happens

My Error with this config on Linux Nixos

Have you found any solution ?
Same happening here. It basically makes it unusable sadly =/
I am using neovim in container, which means every neovim instance I launch is pretty isolated from any other. I mount some things like ssh agent socket. When I launch second neovim instance on different git repo, I am getting this error in the second instance, but not the first. When I close the first instance, and restart the second, it works OK then.
Same here, as a temporary workaround it seems like pinning to 1.0.0 helps: in your lazy config:
return {
"NeogitOrg/neogit",
version = '1.0.0',
-- rest of the config
}

return { "NeogitOrg/neogit", version = '1.0.0', -- rest of the config }
This did not work for me
Try this - it worked for me:
NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/nvim-server nvim
Alternatively, use the default Neovim socket location instead of relying on the appname alias feature.
For me (with my container approach) the problem was that in each container the PID of nvim process was the same, so the path of socket was the same, and that conflicted, because the socked was in mounted volume (XDG_RUNTIME_DIR). Reorganizing it so that the path with socket is isolated per container it helped.

Yeah my apologies, this seemed to help at first, but I later discovered I wasn't even having the same problem as the OP (though I definitely did at one point, but it seemingly resolved itself, maybe a nixos update?)
My issue stemmed from the interaction with https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session I've since switched over to https://github.com/folke/persistence.nvim which has resolved all my problems.
That may not help many people, but the big difference between the two is the fact that auto-session sets up a whole bunch of Autocommands, whereas persistence requires a manual action to reload the session. It might be worth having a look at what autocommands are running in your setup, especially if they involve session management.
Hi, guys!
I started to get this issue a few days ago:
E5108: Error executing lua ...yaro/.local/share/nvim/lazy/neogit/lua/neogit/client.lua:58: NVIM server address not set

Btw, thank you for the great plugin!
