popup menu rendered not working about wilder.nvim HOT 4 CLOSED

There's a few problems wrong with the config, mostly caused by using wilder#wildmenu_renderer() options in wilder#popupmenu_renderer():

1. wilder#basic_highlighter() should be under the highlighter option, not highlights. The apply_highlights option is deprecated in favour of highlighter, so you can remove that option. wilder#query_common_subsequence_spans() is also the old name of wilder#basic_highlighter().
2. separator is not used in the popupmenu and should be removed
3. left and right take different kinds of arguments so the wildmenu items cannot be reused here.

This minimal config should work for you:

call wilder#set_option('renderer', wilder#popupmenu_renderer({
			\ 'highlighter': wilder#basic_highlighter(),
			\ }))

To decorate the popupmenu a bit more:

" wilder#popupmenu_devicons() needs 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons' to be installed
call wilder#set_option('renderer', wilder#popupmenu_renderer({
			\ 'highlighter': wilder#basic_highlighter(),
                        \ 'left': [
                        \   wilder#popupmenu_devicons(),
                        \   wilder#popupmenu_buffer_flags(),
                        \ ],
                        \ 'right': [
                        \   ' ',
                        \   wilder#popupmenu_spinner(),
                        \  wilder#popupmenu_scrollbar(),
                        \ ],
			\ }))

I did a big renaming of the API in #29 so for wildmenu the left or right items are prefixed with wilder#wildmenu_... and for popupmenu they are prefixed with wilder#popupmenu.... The old names can still be used for backwards compatability and I apologise if this created more confusion, but moving forward the new names should give a better indication of where they can be used.

Thank you, it works like a charm and looks great: I will be having a look at the changelog of #29 to be better informed. For reference (if someone else comes across this issue) I am using:

call wilder#set_option('renderer', wilder#renderer_mux({
      \ ':': wilder#popupmenu_renderer({
		\ 'highlighter': wilder#basic_highlighter(),
      \ }),
      \ '/': wilder#wildmenu_renderer(
      \ wilder#lightline_theme({
      \   'highlights': {},
      \   'highlighter': wilder#basic_highlighter(),
      \   'separator': ' · ',
      \ })
      \ ),
      \ }))

One last question: is it possible to determine the height of the popup menu when it opens, namely to customise how many items are being shown at a first glance?

from wilder.nvim.

Yes, the max_height option does this.

You can set it to a string e.g. '50%' so it takes up to 50% of Neovim's height or to a number 20 (note: no quotes) so it takes up to 20 lines in height.

:h wilder#popupmenu_renderer() will describe more of the other options (e.g. max_width).

from wilder.nvim.

Awesome, this will do. Feel free to close this issue! :)
