task(nvim): test neovim 0.11 with Practicalli Astro

[practicalli-johnny]

Install Neovim 0.11 and test it with the current Practicalli astro configuration.

If there are breaking changes then highlight that Practicalli asto should only be used by the latest stable Neovim 0.10 release.

Update: Neovim 0.11 not recommended for Practicalli astro at the moment. If Neovim 0.11 is needed for other reasons, switch to Practicalli nvim-astro5 and replace nvim-treesitter-sexp plugin with nvim-paredit plugin instead

Neovim release

Neovim 011 was released on 26th March 2025.

Testing setup

Download the Linux Appimage and install in ~/.local/bin as nvim-0.11.appimage and create a symbolic link called nvim11

NOTE: the symbolic link will be changed to nvim once Neovim 0.11 is adopted

Define shell aliases to test Neovim 0.11 with Practicalli astro and Practicalli nvim-astro5 configurations

# Aliases shared across shells (zsh, bash)

# ------------------------------------------
# Neovim Aliases for multiple configurations
alias astro="NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-astro nvim"
alias astro5="NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-astro5 nvim11"
alias astro11="NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-astro nvim11"
alias astrotemplate="NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-astronvim-template nvim"

When opening a Clojure file for the first time, the lsp client connects to the clojure-lsp server.

vim.lsp.get_active_clients() is deprecated. Run ":checkhealth vim.deprecated" for more information

The range method seems to have changed and is a common error occuring in many setups.

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: UnhandledPromiseRejection with the reason:

Parinfer seems to work well, although nvim-treesitter-sexp has issue

There are enough warnings that using Neovim 0.11 would require significant changes to the Practicalli Astro config, especially around treesitter plugins and LSP.

It seems that most of the errors are from nvim-treesitter-sexp plugin.

I am advising that Neovim 0.11 is not recommended for Practicalli astro config.

If switching to Neovim 0.11 is important, then advise using Practicalli nvim-astro5 for Neovim 0.11 (once its ready).

Issue raise on plugin repository: PaterJason/nvim-treesitter-sexp#12

The issue occurs with AstroNvim v5 so to use this plugin there either needs to be an update to the plugin code, or using an alternative plugin, e.g. nvim-paredit.
