bug: attempt to call method 'parse_curl_args' (a nil value)
Describe the bug
I configured avante through nixvim in this way
avante = {
enable = true;
settings = {
provider = "ollama";
vendors = {
ollama = {
model = "qwen14b:latest";
};
};
};
};
I have the qwen14b:latest model that I created using a modelfile.
I get this error when I try to ask avente "how u doin" using aa
E5108: Error executing lua: ...ck/myNeovimPackages/start/avante.nvim/lua/avante/llm.lua:230: attempt to call method 'parse_curl_args' (a nil value)

Then I press ENTER and my PC starts blowing, but no output comes out after it stops:
- Datetime: 2025-04-05 12:42:31

To reproduce
https://github.com/ivandimitrov8080/wvl/blob/avante_ollama/default.nix#L50
if you clone the repo and change to that branch you can type nix develop and you'll have the nvim that doesn't work.
Expected behavior
for ollama to work with that config
Installation method
I used nixvim https://nix-community.github.io/nixvim/plugins/avante/index.html

I tried it and it didn't solve it even for the chat window.
Disabling summarize_chat_thread_title func "fixes" it for me :/
Probably breaking something else at the same time that I don't use/see.

As shown in the document, please take ollama out of vendors and place it at the outermost level. However, I have also made this incorrect usage compatible in the latest version, so I think this issue can be closed.

I don't think the outdated version is the problem here.
NixVim currently uses nixpkgs at revision b3582c75c7f21ce0b429898980eddbbf05c68e55.
This is the revision from two days ago. Here is the definition for avante.nvim plugin in nixpkgs at this revision.
It uses version 0.0.23. From what I can see, this is the latest official release of avante.nvim (released on Mar 9, 2025). There are newer commits, but not released yet.
Also, I don't think that ollama vendor config is the root cause of this error. I have configured other vendors (groq, openrouter) and still have the same issue.
As shown in the document, please take
ollamaout ofvendorsand place it at the outermost level. However, I have also made this incorrect usage compatible in the latest version, so I think this issue can be closed.
Again, I don't think this issue is specific to the ollama vendor. For reference, here is my config (in Nix/NixVim):
{
auto_suggestions_provider = "openrouter_gpt41_mini";
behaviour = {
# auto_suggestions = true;
enable_cursor_planning_mode = true;
};
cursor_applying_provider = "openrouter";

};

model = "openai/gpt-4.1";
};
openrouter_gpt41_mini = {
__inherit_from = "openrouter";
model = "openai/gpt-4.1-mini";
};
};
}
I have just updated NixVim and have tried again, but with the same result:

@dpomykala
From what I can see, this is the latest official release of avante.nvim (released on Mar 9, 2025)
For ollama, this error is expected, as the ollama vendor was added after the latest release. We can see that here.
For your own issue, parse_curl_args is undefined somewhere.
What do you expect to happen if the suggestions provider is set to openrouter_gpt41_mini,
and the openrouter_gpt41_mini vendor is inheriting from the openrouter provider, which does not exist?
What avante could do better is check whether that provider actually exists, instead of loading null values for parse_curl_args etc.
It uses version 0.0.23. From what I can see, this is the latest official release of avante.nvim (released on Mar 9, 2025). There are newer commits, but not released yet.
Ok, I reviewed my config again and found two issues.
The main problem was a silly mistake/typo: ~~__inherit_from~~ instead of __inherited_from 🙈.
The second problem was that I was trying to inherit from my custom vendor/provider definition.
What do you expect to happen if the suggestions provider is set to
openrouter_gpt41_mini, and theopenrouter_gpt41_minivendor is inheriting from theopenrouterprovider, which does not exist?
The openrouter provider was already defined in my config as a custom vendor:
provider = "openrouter";
vendors = {
openrouter = {
__inherited_from = "openai";
api_key_name = "OPENROUTER_API_KEY";
endpoint = "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/";
max_tokens = 32768;
model = "openai/gpt-4.1";
};
};
I thought I could inherit from it like this:
openrouter_gpt41_mini = {
__inherited_from = "openrouter";
model = "openai/gpt-4.1-mini";
};
Apparently that is not the case. I fixed it and now it's working as expected. Thanks!
What avante could do better is check whether that provider actually exists, instead of loading null values for
parse_curl_argsetc.
I agree that error handling could be improved to provide more user friendly messages.
@v3ceban thank you for information! To be honest, this versioning is quite confusing. I think most people expect GH releases and/or Git version tags to represent the version of the main project itself. Probably that's why nixpkgs pins to the specific Git tag (v0.0.23 at this moment). This is unfortunate for people using Nix/NixVim, as that version is two months old.
For people using NixVim: my PR to nixpkgs has been merged, which should result in a relatively up-to-date version of avante.nvim (when it reaches nixpkgs-unstable). It can still lag a couple of days behind the main branch. Depending on your configuration, some changes might be needed for the newer version.
