[SOLVED] Error executing lua /home/user/.config/nvim/lua/init.lua:7: module 'vscode.colors' not found:

Error executing lua /home/user/.config/nvim/lua/init.lua:7: module 'vscode.colors' not found:

I'm trying to update the theme of my neovim similar to vscode. I found this Plugin for the neovim to do that: https://github.com/Mofiqul/vscode.nvim

I followed the documentation which what I did is put Plug 'Mofiqul/vscode.nvim' in the ~/.config/nvim/init.vim, and ran the command :PlugInstall which it installed the Plugin on the ~/.config/nvim/Plugged/vscode.nvim

After that I create a lua directory and a init.lua file to create the usage for the plugin: ~/.config/nvim/lua/init.lua

After I did those step when I tried to open nvim It shows me this:

Error detected while processing /home/user/.config/nvim/init.vim:

This is my init.vim file:

lua require('init')

Is any way to solve this ?

Solution

This error occurs because you are installing vim-plug using init.vim and the VSCode theme using init.lua file. Nvim can use either one, but not both files simultaneously [1].

Install vim-plug using init.lua [2], and delete the init.vim file, vim-plug in lua should be something like:

local Plug = vim.fn['plug#']
vim.call('plug#begin')
Plug 'Mofiqul/vscode.nvim'
vim.call('plug#end')

And after you follow the Usage of the plugin

P.S.: Also, if you are using nvim, consider using lazyvim as your plug manager instead.
