bug: The picker doesn't support Windows 11. [SOLVED]

[pablomylovee]

Did you check docs and existing issues?

• I have read all the snacks.nvim docs
• I have updated the plugin to the latest version before submitting this issue
• I have searched the existing issues of snacks.nvim
• I have searched the existing issues of plugins related to this issue

Neovim version (nvim -v)

NVIM v0.10.4 | Build type: Release | LuaJIT 2.1.1713484068

Operating system/version

Windows 11

Describe the bug

I'm a new user to Neovim and I use it on Windows 11, the picker plugin is trying to use a Linux command to find files. (I'm using the files picker)

This is the error that occurs after I execute Snacks.picker.files():

Command failed:
- cmd: `find . -type f -not -path */.git/* -not -path */.*`

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run :lua Snacks.picker.files() on Windows 11.

Expected Behavior

Runs the file picker normally, I guess?

Repro

-- I don't know what a Repro is, sorry.

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = ".repro"
load(vim.fn.system("curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua"))()

require("lazy.minit").repro({
  spec = {
    { "folke/snacks.nvim", opts = {} },
    -- add any other plugins here
  },
})

You can try installing fd via scoop https://github.com/sharkdp/fd?tab=readme-ov-file#on-windows

Also probably this

snacks.nvim/lua/snacks/picker/source/files.lua

Line 18 in bc0630e

enabled = vim.fn.has("win-32") == 0,

should be win32 instead, so that the find command is not enabled on Windnows?

@PabloMyDarling @dpetka2001 find does not natively exist on Windows. If you have git installed is available in C:/Program Files/git/usr/bin/ which you can then added your PATH and the picker will work.

OR like @dpetka2001 you can install fd which then snacks will use fd over find

run :checkhealth snacks to see if there is anything else missing. Especially if you plan on using the picker for grep searching, it will error unless you have ripgrep installed, or add your /git/usr/bin path to your PATH

@dpetka2001 Your solution worked great. Thank you.

I tried @JustBarnt 's solution too but it wouldn't work, for me at least. But thanks to both of you ❤️❤️

@PabloMyDarling Glad to here, if the /git/usr/bin solution didn't work that more than likely means your git installation is not in the default location it would install it at or you used something other than the setup exe to install it. But all that matters is that you have it working!
