plenary.nvim VS telescope-fzf-native.nvim

we can create a function to open a pop up menu using plenary.popup like this, you need to install neovim plenary if you don't already have it https://github.com/nvim-lua/plenary.nvim

If you are really interested in doing this yourself with loop, you should take a look at either plenary.job or netman.shell (I made the latter) as both are very well documented.

I feel this :( That said, alot of plugins rely on plenary.nvim. Its up to you if you determine this is "non-essential" or not. It will almost certainly be available for you to use already.

The big reason I ask is that reaching out to an external python shell to run commands (disregard the fact that its python running) is going to be much slower than using the in built lua JIT interpreter. Additionally, plenary has a built in curl function so you don't have to "reinvent the wheel".

There is also test harness in nvim-lua/plenary.nvim with a slightly different design, but still usable of course.

I am simply using busted or more specifically vusted which is a wrapper around busted for Neovim. It should be quite straightforward to learn the basics, I would say you mostly need to know these functions: describe, it (these are used to structure your test cases) and assert.are_same (to check for table equality). Some people are also using plenary which is also based on busted.

It's based on nvim-lua-plugin-template, but uses Nix flakes to run plenary.nvim tests.

Plenary plugin for Nvim

- the scoring may be done with telescope-fzf-native, but it is then sorted in lua.

Looking at https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim/blob/main/Makefile this actually makes the lib, as there's a target=libfzf in there. Doesn't seem to have a requirement on fzf.

Based on the accounts of many here, it seems that fzf-lua is faster than Telescope. Are we talking about the default sorter in Telescope or also the fzf sorter also?

local telescope = require("telescope") local trouble_provider = require("trouble.providers.telescope") telescope.setup({ live_grep = { --@usage don't include the filename in the search results only_sort_text = true, theme = "dropdown", }, extensions = { fzf = { fuzzy = true, -- false will only do exact matching override_generic_sorter = true, -- override the generic sorter override_file_sorter = true, -- override the file sorter case_mode = "smart_case", -- or "ignore_case" or "respect_case" }, }, defaults = { vimgrep_arguments = { 'rg', '--color=never', '--no-heading', '--with-filename', '--line-number', '--column', '--hidden', '--smart-case', '--glob "!.git"', }, mappings = { i = { -- source: https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim [""] = trouble_provider.open_with_trouble, }, n = { -- source: https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim [""] = trouble_provider.open_with_trouble, }, }, set_env = { ["COLORTERM"] = "truecolor" }, -- default = nil, }, }) -- source: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim require("telescope").load_extension("fzf")

This might help: telescope-fzf-native

It's not fuzzy during the live_grep itself, but by hitting `` you can fuzzy search among the results shown. You can even use the fzf syntax with https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim/issues.

Are you using telescope-fzf-native.nvim?

I'm trying to install telescope-fzf-native.nvim following the instructions in its page. I've added to my init.lua the following line of code:
