Call :UpdateRemotePlugins in minpac#update() on Neovim about minpac HOT 17 CLOSED

I don't use Neovim, so I don't know about the :UpdateRemotePlugins command.
What does the command do?

How about the following command?

call minpac#update('', {'do': 'UpdateRemotePlugins'})

from minpac.

Yes, that will work. I just think it is better to do it inside minpac#update(), as it is always a must-do on Neovim, just like :helptags ALL.

from minpac.

Hmm, it failed on Neovim.

Any idea?

from minpac.

This seems to be related with --noplugin. I tried on my machine and neovim does not have :UpdateRemotePlugins when started with --noplugin.

from minpac.

Ah, okay. I will add checking for existence of the command.

Please try the latest commit.

Thanks!

It looks this hook not work on my side

A fresh installation, 36 plugins was installed, a empty rplugin.vim was generated, but the remote plugins was not registered.

Maybe on the time UpdateRemotePlugins was called, these plugin were not sourced yet?

from minpac.

Sorry for the late response.
call minpac#update() doesn't source any plugins. Plugins are sourced at start up of Vim or when you load it manually by :packadd <plugin>, etc.
Does UpdateRemotePlugins work only when plugins are sourced?

from minpac.

Thanks for the reply
Yes, the plugin must be sourced first.
Maybe minpac need to run :packloadall before run UpdateRemotePlugins?

from minpac.

I don't want to load all plugins after minpac#update().
Currently I don't have a good idea for this.
Maybe, defining your own command is a good way? E.g.:

command! PackUpdate packadd minpac | source $MYVIMRC | call minpac#update() | packloadall | UpdateRemotePlugins

(untested)

Do opt plugins also need to be loaded when executing UpdateRemotePlugins? If so, this might be not enough, because packloadall doesn't load opt plugins.

Thanks for your clarify.
But this didn't works for me, maybe because call minpac#update() is async.
In this command chain, when UpdateRemotePlugins was called, the minpac#update() is still in progress

from minpac.

But this didn't works for me, maybe because call minpac#update() is async.

Oops, I forgot that.
BTW, I try a new approach. See #47.

from minpac.

I tried the nvim-rplugin branch, but when I run :PackUpdate command, it shows the error below:

The minimal vimrc:

let s:rc_path = fnamemodify(expand('<sfile>'), ':h')

let s:minpac = expand(s:rc_path . '/pack/minpac/opt/minpac')

if !isdirectory(glob(s:minpac))
  execute '!git clone https://github.com/k-takata/minpac.git' s:minpac
  execute '!git -C' s:minpac 'checkout nvim-rplugin'
endif

command! PackUpdate packadd minpac | source $MYVIMRC | call minpac#update()
command! PackClean  packadd minpac | source $MYVIMRC | call minpac#clean()

if exists('*minpac#init')
  " minpac is loaded.
  call minpac#init()
  call minpac#add('k-takata/minpac', {'type': 'opt'})
  call minpac#add('Shougo/deoplete.nvim')
endif

"deoplete.nvim
let g:deoplete#enable_at_startup = 1
let g:deoplete#ignore_sources = {}
let g:deoplete#ignore_sources._ = [
      \   'around',
      \ ]

The reproduce step is:

1. Remove pack directory
2. Open nvim, the minpac will be auto cloned into /pack/minpac/opt/minpac
3. Run :PackUpdate

The error will be showed up.

Oh, sorry.
Could you try again?

from minpac.

It works now 👍
