Provide an example of how to install a package / plugin with a post-install hook about minpac HOT 5 OPEN

Sorry for the late response.

I could not get the below to work

How did you check it? Did you see any error messages?
Does :mes show any information?

I have been looking into how to do something similar, and am wondering how you managed to get the do post-update hook to execute in the plugin directory instead of the cwd? I've been using the jobstart api, does your use of ! cause the shell command to execute in the appropriate dir? Thanks in advance 😄

Before executing the post-update hook, minpac will change the cwd to the plugin directory.

Thanks @k-takata for the quick response, I will have to troubleshoot to see what I've done wrong with my setup. I'm sure I made a mistake someplace

from minpac.

I have the following in a file with a list of package installs:

call minpac#add('neoclide/coc.nvim', {'do': '!install.sh'})

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it's failing to run install.sh in the neoclide/coc.nvim folder. I've tried much more complicated variants of this, as ideally I need this to work on both Windows and *nix (which would require if has('Win32') to use install.cmd instead), but even the most simple one doesn't seem to work, unless I'm getting something wrong, which is very possible.

Any suggestions? I'm trying to create a deployable (via git) vim config, and the manual step of compiling https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim is the one missing link so far.

EDIT: I found my issue. It should have been:

call minpac#add('neoclide/coc.nvim', {'do': '!./install.sh'})
