How do I get nvim-cmp working in neovim

Help

I try to use nvim-cmp with neovim from the neovim-flake.

This is the error while building:

Generating remote plugin manifest

All I could find so far is this ticket but /nix/store/is6497iayyxy1fpviwb8x221xp7645bf-lua5.1-nvim-cmp-0.0.1-2/nvim-cmp-0.0.1-2-rocks/nvim-cmp/0.0.1-2/plugin/cmp.lua doesn’t seem to have any of these lines mentioned there in it.

Am I doing something obviously wrong ?

Following i. e. vimPlugins: make usage of luaPackages less confusing by teto · Pull Request #195732 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub with my (linked in OP) flake loaded I started a repl and

nix-repl> :b inputs.neovim-flake.inputs.nixpkgs.legacyPackages.aarch64-linux.vimPlugins.nvim-cmp

This derivation produced the following outputs:
  out -> /nix/store/fwn3zw8ca8iq4ppi14h4gim1003pksdz-lua5.1-nvim-cmp-0.0.1-2

was able to build :confused:

I am able to run nvim-cmp from nix with no issue but maybe on master it needs the PR you linked (hoping to merge later today).

Thanks for reaching out @teto !

I’m on github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable and rn I’m trying without using the overlay just as the person in nix-rebuild switch fails with newest (9f85389) master · Issue #153 · nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay · GitHub writes.

If that ain’t working I’m trying the PR.
