Feature description

According to dependencies, rest.nvim requires "lua >= 5.1, < 5.4", but while i'm trying to use it with lua 5.3.6 it always causes an warning

`lua` version `5.1` needed, but found `Lua 5.3.6  Copyright (C) 1994-2020 Lua.org, PUC-Rio`

I haven't really test this plugin with lua version other than 5.1 and Neovim only supports lua 5.1 via LuaJIT (:h lua) so "lua == 5.1" might make more sense.

I guess @NTBBloodbath set it to "lua >= 5.1 < 5.4" because those lua versions are somewhat similar.

Btw the lua version 5.1 requirement is from your package manager and not from rest.nvim. You need lua 5.1 in your system to properly install this plugin via luarocks.

Both lazy.nvim and rocks.nvim should handle this lua dependency automatically.
What neovim plugin manager are you using to install rest.nvim?

Edit: correct

lazy.nvim

You can 1) manually install lua5.1 in your machine or 2) force lazy.nvim to use hererocks to install all lua & luarocks by itself.

For second method, your lazy.nvim setup will look like this:

require("lazy").setup({
  spec = {
    -- your plugin specs
  },
  rocks = {
    enabled = true,
    hererocks = true,
  },
})

Thx, i'll switch to 5.1, btw is 5.1.5 ok? Is it bounded only to minor version, or also to patch?

[boltlessengineer]

lua in your system is only used to install the plugin no many stuffs happening there. 5.1.5 is fine, I'm also using that version.
