Please execute :UpdateRemotePlugins command.

[PowerzinBR]

Hello, i did that and the result was:

remote/host: python3 host registered plugins []
remote/host: generated rplugin manifest: C:\Users\Power\AppData\Local\nvim-data/rplugin.vim

[Shougo]

I think defx.nvim is lazy loaded. :UpdateRemotePlugins must be executed after load.

Note: Why don't you upload the minimal vimrc?

[PowerzinBR]

Hey, Shougo.
I'm so sorry for that delay, i didn't have seen this message.
Here's the minimal vimrc that you asked, i used :UpdateRemotePlugins.

Note: I use Windows, is that related to the error? I have seen a lot of people use defx.nvim without errors, didn't understand this one.

runtime ./plug.vim

is important. Why you don't upload the file?

[PowerzinBR]

nvim.zip
Well, here's my Neovim setup, since you asked. (I tryed to send the plug.vim but is not supported)

[Shougo]

Hm... It seems not lazy loaded. So you don't execute :UpdateRemotePlugins command.

Please check defx.nvim path is added in your runtimepath.

If you use in Windows, you can test defx.nvim on WSL environment.

[PowerzinBR]

Hello @Shougo. Thank you for your responses, i will later give a look on all this and see it, thanks for the support along these two months.

Cheers 😄

[PowerzinBR]

Update on this: I tested it on Arch Linux, Pynvim installed, etc, and it still gave me the same error
So i don't really know whats happening anymore :/

[Shougo]

Really??

Please execute :UpdateRemotePlugins and check the messages.
And rplugin.vim file is created under stdpath('data').
I think it is empty.

What is :checkhelth result?

[Shougo]

Please see this.

neovim/pynvim#564

[PowerzinBR]

Okay, i will check it

I was on a trip without my computer and i wasn't able to answer you later, sorry.

[svermeulen]

I had this problem. @Shougo is correct about the source of issue being the above linked pynvim issue.

As of right now, pynvim doesn't have a new release with this fix, so my workaround was:

pip install git+https://github.com/neovim/pynvim.git@d6dc8cfe71c6f05382ef50fb8bb0ce7e750ab0da

Since this is the commit for the MR with the fix
