Error at :checkhealth

[Dowsley]

Description

At a freshly installed neovim, using the same exact configurations as neovim from scratch, the checkhealth fails during the execution of the health checker for telescope. It seems the error is in the fact that check_binary_installed is returning a nil value for the second return value, "version".

This error does not seem to affect the plugin functioning.

I am not well versed into vim, so I wonder if this is a permission-related issue in my system. Appreciate any heads-up and apologize in advance if this is not a bug in the plugin.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.7.2
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3
Compiled by [email protected]

Operating system and version

macOS 12.6 | Apple M1 Pro

Telescope version / branch / rev

telescope 0.1.0

checkhealth telescope

telescope: require("telescope.health").check()

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

Minimal config

        },

end
_G.load_config = function()

  require('telescope').load_extension('fzf')

end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print("Installing Telescope and dependencies.")
  vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path }
end
load_plugins()
require('packer').sync()
vim.cmd [[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once echo "Ready!" | lua load_config()]]

Same issue here, although I did not have a fresh install. Updating telescope with packer is also failing.

[CarloCattano]

same issue but I use vimplug Cant figure out how to make it run

Guys, your fd version mismatched. Switch to the correct fd release to fit your computer framework.

[lzlcs]

I reinstalled fd and ripprep, and now it works very well!

[belkarto]

i did the same i reinstalled fd and ripgrep and it worked just fine

I'm on Windows 10. Reinstalled both rg and fd using winget, restarted my machine, made sure that "Links" directory is in the path, made sure old dependencies are removed from the system, and I still get this error :(

It would be fantastic if the error said what's the problem instead of forcing the user to decipher what does indexing of a boolean value in the plugin could mean.

@ashrasmun This looks like a different issue from the original issue. Can you provide which telescope branch/tag you're on and try the minimal config in the original issue description above? You can copy that snippet into a file and open neovim with nvim -nu path/to/min/config.lua (might need to relaunch after plugins install).

I was getting this same issue. Reinstalled rg and fixed it :)
