Attempt to index field 'uv' (a nil value)

[alfredosa]

Describe the bug

On Windows, after installed all the prerequisites, getting this error:

Error detected while processing C:\Users\alfrsuar\AppData\Local\nvim\init.lua:
E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: ...AppData\Local\nvim-data\lazy\lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/init.lua:40: attempt to index field 'uv' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
        ...AppData\Local\nvim-data\lazy\lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/init.lua:40: in function 'setup'
        C:\Users\alfrsuar\AppData\Local\nvim\init.lua:227: in main chunk

Supporting information

Healtcheck passes everything except lazy.vim.

I believe uv is part of neovim itself from Libuv.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

To Reproduce

1. Install all dependencies via Chocolatey
2. Clone Repo: git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git $env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim\
3. Open Neovim. Lazy won't load.

Desktop

• OS: Windows
• Terminal: Powershell

I should probably mention, on Mac and Ubuntu this works perfectly fine, as I've tested them all. Could be a Windows skill issue :)

Hmm I just tried this now on Window 10 (in a virtualbox) and it works fine. Which Windows version are you using? Have you tried following these instructions exactly: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#windows-installation

Windows with gcc/make using chocolatey

This works for me, here is a screenshot:

am on ubuntu and am getting this error too, but not on the installation process at first it worked fine and after some point i get the error

@dam9000 I did follow the Chocolatey way, only difference is I'm using powershell. Maybe I give it ago from scratch again. Thanks for confirming it works for you. I must be missing something.

Tho uv is a fundamental part of Neovim as a whole which is super confusing 😢

even doing vim.uv.version() returns a uv does not exist
