How do you have nvim-tree start as a certain size?

[jessebot]

Setting width=25 is not honored, and adaptive_size still creates a massive window. Here are the configs I've tried:

require("nvim-tree").setup({
	open_on_setup_file = true,
	view = {
		adaptive_size = true,
	},
})

which gives me:

And this also gives the same result as the screenshot above:

require("nvim-tree").setup({
	open_on_setup_file = true,
	view = {
		width = 25,
	},
})

Interestingly enough, if I'm in the file window to the right of nvim-tree, I can type :NvimTreeResize 25 and it will actually resize the nvim-tree window, but when I try to do :NvimTreeResize 25 from the nvim-tree window, it doesn't do anything.

I also tried removing open_on_setup_file = true, but the problem still happens that it when I run :NvimTreeOpen or :NvimTreeToggle the window is created much larger than 25-30 columns

I'm currently running the nightly build and ran packer update today. I'm using iterm2 on macOS ventura and using the following plugins, but I don't think any of them would cause any issues here:

• packer.nvim
• vim-airline
• glepnir/dashboard-nvim
• telescope.nvim
• vim-fugitive
• vim-gitgutter
• nvim-tree.lua
• ale
• numirias/semshi
• limelight.vim

Outside of the above plugins having individual configuration files that I reference lower, my entire init.lua is pictured above, as I have only recently migrated to neovim from vim. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you for your time!

I'm not able to replicate with a fixed size or adaptive size.

It could be that another plugin is interfering with the window sizing.

Please try using a minimal configuration as per bug report. This will confirm whether it's another plugin or some automation.

Oh, I didn't see that bug report template before. This is really handy :) It helped me quickly narrow down what option was causing this:

vim.opt.winwidth = 82

This was set when I was quickly converting my original .vimrc file from using vim full time. It was needed for a specific hack in vim land, but I don't need it in neovim. That was what was causing this though, and it makes total sense. Removed and now everything works as intended :)

Sorry for the bother and thanks for helping me out!

This answer was that winwidth was set in my init.lua:

vim.opt.winwidth = 82

Removing that, fixed my issue. 👍

I had a similar issue, but this variable was never set. Still, initializing it with the correct value fixed my problem.
