auto sessions don't work on latest

[jw3126]

Problem description

Restoring a session on startup does not work

LunarVim version

master-d15c8d7

Neovim version (>= 0.9.1)

0.10

Terminal name

kitty

Operating system/version

linux

Steps to reproduce

If I use the nightly lvim with nvim v0.10, the following config.lua does not work:

local function get_session_file()
  local cwd = vim.fn.getcwd()
  return cwd .. '/Session.vim'
end

local function save_session()
  local session_file = get_session_file()
  vim.cmd('mksession! ' .. session_file)
end

local function load_session()
  local session_file = get_session_file()
  if vim.fn.filereadable(session_file) == 1 then
    vim.cmd('source ' .. session_file)
  end
end

local auto_session_group = "AutoSession0xc611acb237cb7aa5"
vim.api.nvim_create_augroup(auto_session_group, { clear = true })

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('BufWritePost', {
  group = auto_session_group,
  callback = save_session,
})

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('VimEnter', {
  group = auto_session_group,
  callback = load_session,
})

It gives me

.../pack/lazy/opt/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/handler/event.lua:157: Invalid buffer id: 1 

If I instead put the same content in init.lua for nvim 0.10 without lvim, it works.

this seems related to lazy-loading:

• is this still an issue if you update lazy.nvim to latest?
• is it an issue if you defer the call after VimEnter?

Thanks I will look into it. BTW are there any recommendations for easily being able to switch between combinations of lvim + nvim versions?

is it an issue if you defer the call after VimEnter?

I can manually do :source Session.vim and it works. So in that is a case it would work after VimEnter. However I would like it to be an auto command. Any suggestions what to use instead of VimEnter?
I would like lvim to automatically bring me to my last session when I launch it. Is there something after VimEnter but still earlier that any user interaction?

try adding the code snippet in a file under ~/.config/lvim/after/plugin

you can try UIEnter, but I was actually just thinking of using vim.defer_fn, see: folke/lazy.nvim@fd1fbef

Thanks a lot!

• UIEnter does not work
• defer_fn works 🎉
