luacheck VS NvChad

Not directly related, but luacheck can also help with this.

Yeah. While you're at it, make a habit of running luacheck on your files as it helps catch a lot of these issues that can sneak in by mistake: https://github.com/mpeterv/luacheck

Using something like https://github.com/mpeterv/luacheck might be helpful too. Will check all the files in a directory and will let you know which one might be problematic.

I'm trying to setup luacheck (via null-ls) to run alongside sumneko-lua (via nvim-lspconfig).

Most of the time nothing is used. The thing is that iterating is so quick, that you find the problems really fast.

Although, I've been using luacheck https://github.com/mpeterv/luacheck. It is quite nice, but you have to write down the global variables by hand on the config file.

Check out luacheck. It can help spot typos or mistakes you've made and warn against anti-patterns. I'd honestly only look into setting it up locally because there's no benefit to putting it in a CI pipeline unless you have one for another reason IMO. This should be all the config you need:

Sadly the scenario that the successor feature is intended to alleviate has very much become reality. The creator of Luacheck (Peter Melnichenko) passed away a couple of years ago, and ever since then the GitHub repository has been in a state of limbo. Multiple unofficial forks have come and gone, but Peter's is still the first result on Google if you search "luacheck". It isn't even possible to change the README or pin an issue to get people's attention about the fork; to this day people are still posting issues to the old repo.

And Luacheck is "the" Lua static analysis tool that pretty much everyone uses, so it's a very significant issue.

You are probably right, but luacheck is well aware of which global variables are built-in and it has special comments, such as -- no global or --ignore in case you very want to overwrite them.

Calling your function self is as much bad practice as calling it print. Use luacheck to avoid such mistakes.

NvChad

If you use Android device, you can try Termux , and in Termux I recommend NavChad as IDE . You can also find a lot of other useful packages .

git clone https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad $HOME\AppData\Local\nvim --depth 1 && nvim # if the above path doesnt work, try any of these paths : %LOCALAPPDATA%\nvim %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocal\nvim C:Users%USERNAME%AppDataLocal\nvim

line 1: you would have to copy it and remove all the nvchad keymaps and additionally reformat your keymaps to adopt this format. for example, if you copied the file in the link to lua/user/mappings.lua I believe you can just replace the first line with:

I'm confused as to why this is happenening as I have been able to load LunarVim and NvChad with any problems whatsoever.

I would suggest to start getting into vim by first trying out popular vim keybinding plugins available on your favorite code editor and get used to those first. Then, if you want to dive deeper into the power of Neovim, try out popular configs like LazyVim, LunarVim, NvChad... Taking Neovim from a mere text editor to a full-featured IDE with features like intellisense, debugging, testing, etc... on your own takes quite a lot of work and configuration.
