Description

I was going through and updating my config files and Neovim complained about the following:

  • In packer.lua : vim.cmd.packeradd("packer.nvim")
    • Resolved by changing to vim.cmd [[packeradd packer.nvim]]
  • In packer.lua : vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight")
    • Resolved by changing to vim.cmd [[colorscheme tokyonight]]
  • In remap.lua : vim.cmd.Ex
    • Resolved by changing to ":Ex<CR>"
  • In remap.lua : vim.lsp.buf.format
    • Resolved by changing to `function() vim.lsp.buf.format {} end)

I'm not sure what changed, but it affected 1 of 2 of my linux installs as well as my windows install.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported errors in packer.lua and remap.lua on the affected Linux and Windows installations, then compare the relevant Neovim or Vim versions. Trace the behavior of vim.cmd, vim.cmd.Ex, and vim.lsp.buf.format; done means identifying the version or configuration difference and documenting a confirmed compatible invocation.
