Semshi/Wilder conflict

[mjbrowns]

So I love the Wilder popup etc, but I really am not thrilled with the python syntax highlighting. I'm using neovim with packer, and have both wilder and semshi set up via lua.

When I fire up neovim to edit a python file I get this:

remote/host: python3 host registered plugins ['semshi', 'wilder']
remote/host: generated rplugin manifest: /home/mbrown/.local/share/nvim/rplugin.vim

I've been reading through stuff all morning and have no idea how to resolve this. I'd like to turn off the wilder syntax highlighter but either I'm clueless or I can't find it in the documentation other than some obscure references to python that don't seem to have anything to do with highlighting.

This is normal. Both of semshi and wilder can be registered to rplugin manifest. What's "the problem" you're running into?

[mjbrowns]

Hmm. Okay, well...I guess then if that's normal, I'd have to ask if there's a way to suppress the notice I get every time I edit a python module that announces the two registrations. I'm not surprised it would tell me the first time but every time is really annoying.

:UpdateRemotePlugins should be called only once as a part of build or installing plugins (after updating or installing plugins), not on normal command/keymap use.

Ok. So, taking your very insightful comments, I now have things working properly. It seems that my issue really was the question of how to correctly configure this using the packer plugin manager.

I suggest adding an entry in the README.md on installation with packer.

Based on what I have so far, I suggest:

Add to your plugins.lua (or whatever file you use to install your plugins):

use {'numirias/semshi', ft = 'python'} 

Then, ignoring a variety of nvim startup errors:

1. Run PackerSync (Or PackerInstall)
2. Run UpdateRemotePlugins
   • Important! Must be done while Semshi is loaded; since it's lazy loaded you need to edit a python file to properly UpdateRemotePlugins!

Restart nvim and profit!
