Migrated most of my config to use rocks.nvim and found these plugins to be missing from luarocks:

• nvim-neorg/neorg-telescope
• lukas-reineke/lsp-format
• lewis6991/gitsigns
• romgrk/barbar.nvim
• tummetott/unimpaired.nvim
• nvimtools/none-ls.nvim
• kevinhwang91/nvim-ufo
• nvim-neotest/neotest-go
• mg979/vim-visual-multi (this is a vim-script plugin though, so not sure if applicable)

Just found this issue and I found that rktjmp/hotpot.nvim is missing from luarocks.

Just found this issue and I found that rktjmp/hotpot.nvim is missing from luarocks.

I'm going to wait for #236, because hotpot.nvim would need to be installed with opt=true and loaded manually, using require("rocks").packadd(...).

I would love to have this one to make some extensions for rocks.nvim like a rocks-ui.nvim module and easily write the UI/UX with it, nui.nvim is already on luarocks so it shouldn't take so long :p

molten-nvim

but, it's a remote python plugin with a few python dependencies, so I haven't done it myself. I'm not sure if you have any advice on this? If there's going to be a lot of discussion we can move somewhere else to not pollute this thread.

• Looks like a nice challenge. I think it might need a luarocks python/venv build backend (for handling python dependencies), which doesn't seem to exist yet.

[benjstephenson]

https://github.com/Olical/conjure would be lovely :)

[calebeby]

These would be helpful:

https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim
https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzy-native.nvim
https://github.com/natecraddock/telescope-zf-native.nvim

• feat: luarocks/rocks.nvim support nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim#127
• feat: luarocks/rocks.nvim support natecraddock/telescope-zf-native.nvim#19

telescope-fzy-native.nvim uses submodules to depend on fzy-lua-native.
fzy-lua-native is packaged in a very weird way, without any regard for potential module naming clashes (e.g. a lua/native.lua file, wtf?).
I don't think it makes sense to attempt to package that. A better alternative might be to rewrite telescope-fzy-native.nvim, so that it depends on fzy, which is packaged properly, instead.

[boltlessengineer]

treesj is already on luarocks, but its dependency should be updated. nvim-treesitter should be removed from dependency¹.

Some I've come across as I'm moving away from Lazy.nvim to rocks.nvim (huge thanks for this btw, I love the simplicity and thought behind it):

https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim
https://github.com/ggandor/flit.nvim
https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim

[mrcjkb]

@boltlessengineer Updated 😄

@craigmac sorry for taking so long to respond. I hope to get back to this soon 😅

Update:

• feat: luarocks/rocks.nvim support ggandor/leap.nvim#234 [added to NURR for now]

• feat: rocks.nvim/luarocks support ggandor/flit.nvim#51 [added to NURR for now]

• firenvim is going to be a challenge, because it uses an autoload function to install.
  For luarocks, this might require a Makefile/Makefile.win that starts Neovim, loads the plugin, and executes the function.

[simifalaye]

Thanks a lot for all the work on this. I'd like to request these:

• https://github.com/folke/ts-comments.nvim
• https://github.com/rafamadriz/friendly-snippets
• https://github.com/garymjr/nvim-snippets
• https://github.com/MeanderingProgrammer/markdown.nvim

Also, I saw you've been working on getting cmp to update its releases so hopefully the maintainer will notice soon. Thanks!

EDIT: @mrcjkb Thanks for publishing these plugins. One thing on the friendly-snippets package: I'm not seeing the "snippets" directory which contains all the snippets it provides on my machine after installing the plugin.

Ah, that's not a standard neovim directory. I guess I'll have to open a PR to friendly-snippets then.

[mrcjkb]

@simifalaye friendly-snippets should be fixed now.

[simifalaye]

@mrcjkb Any news on markdown.nvim?

Also, I saw that the gitsigns PR was merged but it's just waiting for a new release to be made?

Thanks very much for all your work, you are a machine!

[benlubas]

Could you possibly help out with benlubas/neorg-se?

It's a plugin that bundles a rust binary using mlua and the luarocks-build-rust-mlua backend. I've been unsuccessful so far in getting lazy to install and build it. I can install with luarocks --local --lua-version 5.1 install neorg-se without errors. But even that doesn't seem like it's building the rust module, and I don't see the libneorg_se.so file that I expect to see anywhere in ~/.luarocks or ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy(-rocks)

relevant part of error:

Error: Failed initializing build back-end for build type 'rust-mlua': module 'luarocks.build.rust-mlua' not found:

I'm away from my laptop this week.

Any news on markdown.nvim?

I'm planning on publishing the tree-sitter parsers with 0-ver versions (in anticipation nvim-treesitter going semver one day).
When that is done, markdown.nvim can add them as a dependency.
If it depended on the current dev packages, it wouldn't be possible to install a non-dev version of markdown.nvim.

Edit:

• feat: support luarocks/rocks.nvim MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim#78

[mrcjkb]

Could you possibly help out with benlubas/neorg-se?

I can see if it works with rocks.nvim when I'm back on my laptop.

It looks like whatever lazy.nvim is using to install it can't find the luarocks-build-rust-mlua build backend, which could have something to do with how lazy.nvim installs dependencies and rocks into separate trees (iirc; not sure about this).

You could try working around this by installing luarocks-build-rust-mlua locally:
luarocks --local install luarocks-build-rust-mlua

[benlubas]

Thank you, that did allow me to install it! I can get another rocks.nvim user to test it for me so don't worry about that. thank you for the suggestion!

[simifalaye]

This would be great: https://github.com/creativenull/efmls-configs-nvim

[vimproved]

would love to see https://github.com/udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim and https://github.com/udayvir-singh/hibiscus.nvim :)

[mrcjkb]

@simifalaye

• feat: add efmls-configs-nvim nurr#20

@vimproved I'll look into opening some PRs. By the looks of it, bootstrapping would be unnecessary with rocks.nvim.

Edit:

• [CI]: support luarocks/rocks.nvim udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim#36 [added to NURR for now]
• [ci]: support rocks.nvim/luarocks udayvir-singh/hibiscus.nvim#18 [added to NURR for now]

Added both plugins to the NURR for now.

firenvim is going to be a challenge, because it uses an autoload function to install.

Do you mean call firenvim#install(0)? Every time we install a new browser, it should be execute to let it find it. Maybe we don't need to ru this function during installing, and let user do it when they install a browser.

nvim-treesitter going semver one day

nvim-treesitter disappear from luarocks. Anyone know what happened?

[mrcjkb]

Do you mean call firenvim#install(0)? Every time we install a new browser, it should be execute to let it find it. Maybe we don't need to ru this function during installing, and let user do it when they install a browser.

That sounds reasonable to me.
Perhaps that info should be added to the firenvim readme (if not already present).
Still, it would be nice to have it auto install for existing browsers (but not a must-have). But I suppose since this doesn't get cleaned up when uninstalling the plugin, it might be better to have users call it explicitly.

nvim-treesitter disappear from luarocks. Anyone know what happened?

Yep, we removed it because it's very outdated and causes a lot of problems and conflicts with the luarocks tree-sitter parsers. There's a nvim-treesitter-legacy-api which is basically nvim-treesitter without TSInstall and without queries, which you can use for plugins that depend on the deprecated nvim-treesitter API.
If you want nvim-treesitter with TSInstall, you need to use rock-git.nvim. But keep in mind, the master branch may cause conflicts and the main branch requires nvim nightly.

[Freed-Wu]

added to the firenvim readme

Add rocks.nvim to https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim#installing 😄

very outdated

Perhaps a scm is possible?

[mrcjkb]

Perhaps a scm is possible?

I guess am scm version for the main branch would be reasonable.
TSInstall would still be broken though, because it makes assumptions about where the queries are installed. So you might as well use the scm version of the nvim-treesitter-legacy-api.

[mrcjkb]

@Freed-Wu here's an experiment...

[Freed-Wu]

So TSInstall XXX is Rocks install tree-sitter-XXX, right? TSInstall all is search all tree-sitter-XXX in luarocks.org and install them, right?

[mrcjkb]

So TSInstall XXX is Rocks install tree-sitter-XXX, right? TSInstall all is search all tree-sitter-XXX in luarocks.org and install them, right?

Yes - If rocks.nvim is installed.

[Freed-Wu]

I see. Original TSInstall is in parallel and now its behaviour is like TSInstallSync.

@mrcjkb Wanted to bring your attention to this: blink.cmp

From the issues, it looks like the maintainer is open to publishing with luarocks but wanted to ping you in case you may have any guidance to give. Thanks!

[mrcjkb]

@simifalaye thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep my eye on the issue 😃

@Freed-Wu any idea why tree-sitter-wasm isn't supported by nvim-treesitter?
I'll be busy this week, but I can likely look into those sometime after Sunday.
