Empty app window

[leonklingele]

gonvim doesn't work for me, it just shows this empty window:

EDIT: Using latest revision d234997d3a21a896de1ed2c78be9e3c4cd0943c7 on OS X 10.11.6

I think you have to install neovim > v0.2

[dzhou121]

What is your golang version? Please upgrade golang to the latest.

[leonklingele]

Latest Go version: go version go1.8.3 darwin/amd64

[leonklingele]

Latest master (10fa177ee284106fd80ea66f5fa361cb2b36fe15) is still broken.

[dzhou121]

And neovim version?

[leonklingele]

See my previous comment: https://github.com/dzhou121/gonvim/issues/15#issuecomment-305147922

[dzhou121]

Also, does it output anything in the command line?

No

[dzhou121]

I mean nvim --version. I don't see that.

[leonklingele]

nvim? gonvim --version results in the same empty window as without `--version

[dzhou121]

Your neovim version? This a GUI client on top of neovim. So it wouldn't work if you haven't installed neovim.

Requirements Neovim

Oh.. I totally missed that. 🙀 It still would be nice to show an error instead of an empty view if neovim is not installed.

[dzhou121]

Yeah that's true. I'll fix that.

[leonklingele]

I have installed nvim v0.2.0 now. gonvim still shows an empty window but logs something to the command line:

Unhandle event update_sp
Unhandle event mode_info_set

There is a static c library which was compiled in macOS 10.12.5

So probably it doens't work well in older macOS versions.

Could you please elaborate on that? Which static library are you talking about?

In my case I get:

$ gonvim 
Unhandle event mode_info_set

and at exit

lint error msgpack/rpc: session closed
lint error msgpack/rpc: session closed

[dzhou121]

@edgarcosta what is your OS and version?

[edgarcosta]

@dzhou121 Could you please tell me which static C library are you talking about?

[dzhou121]
