Pieces Neovim Plug-in Error : The Pieces Plugin has been updated. To ensure it functions correctly, please restart Neovim.

[imkrishnasarathi]

I am encountering a persistent warning message with the Pieces Neovim plugin. Each time I open Neovim, I receive the following message:

Warning: The Pieces Plugin has been updated. To ensure it functions correctly, please restart Neovim.

I have tried restarting Neovim multiple times, but the warning persists, and the plugin does not seem to function properly.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Install the Pieces Neovim plugin.
• Use NvChad with the "Lazy" package manager.
• Install Pieces for Developers Neovim Plugin by adding the plugin details in plugins.lua
• Start Neovim.
• Observe the warning message.

Expected Behavior:
The plugin should function correctly without requiring repeated restarts.

Actual Behavior:
The warning message continues to appear even after multiple restarts, which shows that the plugin is not functioning as expected.

Environment:

Neovim Version: v0.10.1
OS: Windows 11
Plugin Manager: Lazy (NvChad)

Relevant Configuration Files:

Here are the relevant parts of my configuration:

Hey thank you for pointing that out,
I would like to know your python version you are using. Seems there was an issue in the UpdateRemotePlugins command you can run it manually and check the full error and send it here

[imkrishnasarathi]

Hey Bishoy! Thanks for trying to help! I'm using Python 3.12.2, and when I manually run UpdateRemotePlugins, I see this -

function remote#host#UpdateRemotePlugins[6]..<SNR>27_RegistrationCommands[13]..remote#host#RegisterPlugin, line 5
Plugin "C:/Users/KRISHNA/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/plugin_neovim/rplugin/python3/pieces_python" is already registered

Currently python 3.12 is not supported I will try to take a look at 3.12 today and if there is a way to support it, currently use a python version between 3.8 to 3.11
#53

[imkrishnasarathi]

Hey Bishoy! Just uninstalled Python 3.12 and installed 3.11, but this error is still showing up:

function remote#host#UpdateRemotePlugins[6]..<SNR>27_RegistrationCommands[13]..remote#host#RegisterPlugin, line 5
Plugin "C:/Users/KRISHNA/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/plugin_neovim/rplugin/python3/pieces_python" is already registeredremote/host: generated rplugin manifest: C:\Users\KRISHNA\AppData\Local\nvim-data/rplugin.vim                           Press ENTER or type command to continue         

[bishoy-at-pieces]

Can you run :lua vim.fn.PiecesStartup()

[imkrishnasarathi]

Can you run :lua vim.fn.PiecesStartup()

This is what I get:

[bishoy-at-pieces]

@imkrishnasarathi can you please share C:\Users\KRISHNA\AppData\Local\nvim-data/rplugin.vim file?
Make sure to run the :UpdateRemotePlugins before

[imkrishnasarathi]

" perl plugins


" node plugins


" ruby plugins 

Here's the file, it doesn't have anything

[bishoy-at-pieces]

I will create a release next Monday. It should work after the release

[bishoy-at-pieces]

Hey @imkrishnasarathi,
Can you please update the plugin and let me know how it goes?

[imkrishnasarathi]

Hey @Bishoy-at-pieces ! So sorry I'm late to reply, I tried updating, and not sure if it's updating or not, but it doesn't work :(
Should I try re installing the whole system of neovim and its plugins?

[28arnab]

i also have the same issue it was working fine with wsl neovim(lazy vim) but when i switched to neovide in windows its showing that error

works in wsl

[bishoy-at-pieces]

Thank you both of you I will be prioritising that issue next Monday

[bishoy-at-pieces]

Hey @28arnab @imkrishnasarathi
