it hangs when misspel github package name about packer.nvim HOT 10 CLOSED

How long did you wait? Clones should time out after the value of config.git.clone_timeout (...which I now realize I never added to the docs, whoops), which defaults to 60s (based on the timeout value used in plug.vim). The freeze is bizarre, though - the entire editor froze up?

I also cannot reproduce this on my machines....exactly what you describe expecting happens for me....

from packer.nvim.

ok, I will try again today..

from packer.nvim.

yes it hangs on username for https://github.com/xx/yy message (the entire neovim UI)

from packer.nvim.

it unhangs after 60s yes, but neovim should not freeze during this minute.

from packer.nvim.

Agreed; I'll look into why it's freezing. Could you post your .gitconfig, since I can't seem to replicate the behavior on my system?

from packer.nvim.

Hmm. I'm shooting in the dark with this theory as I still cannot reproduce the bug, but I wonder if this would be caused by not passing a stdin fd to the luv.spawn call used to start git? Since you mention that it hangs on a prompt for username...

from packer.nvim.

@wbthomason I would guess you have to override the stdin explicitly. We should make our vim.loop documentation clearer about this.

I pushed a commit just now adding this. It doesn't break anything on my end, but I have still never been able to repro the issue here (or in #40 or #26, which I think are duplicates of this), so I'm not sure if it fixes the issue.

from packer.nvim.

Fixed by #91
