Luarocks package versions override Vim Plugin versions

[fmoda3]

Describe the bug

Not sure if this is intended behavior or not, but while trying to track down a bug in gitsigns-nvim plugin, I realized that the version of the plugin I had installed in neovim was not actually the version specified in the the vim plugins generated file.

A recent neovim change started producing an error when using the gitsigns plugin. The author recently put in a fix, and the version specified in the vim plugin file includes the fix for this error:

nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/editors/vim/plugins/generated.nix

Line 3163 in 963d27a

rev = "79c55eb553bb68840539651b083937f1010ba4db";

However, I was still running into the error and had reported it to the plugin author. After some back and forth, and a bunch of digging, I realized that the version that was actually installed in my neovim was a much earlier version, and thats when I discovered that this plugin (and presumably Plenary as well), gets overridden with the version in Luarocks here:

nixpkgs/pkgs/development/lua-modules/generated-packages.nix

Line 515 in 03428db

"rev": "27aeb2e715c32cbb99aa0b326b31739464b61644",

Is this intended behavior? If so, is there a way to make it more obvious to end users that these plugins in the vim generated plugins file is effectively ignored?

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup neovim in nix with the gitsigns-nvim plugin
2. Observe that the installed gitsigns plugin uses the luarocks version

Expected behavior

I possibly expect it to use the gitsigns version specified in the vim plugin generated file.

thanks for the report, it's a known issue. Closing as duplicate of #185397. I tried to regenerate the lua package set but gave up after hitting #188090.

Ahh, didn't realize there was already a ticket! As for #188090, I clicked the tarball link and it downloaded. Maybe the archive site is back?

Attempting to update all the lua packages now in #185723
