I can't get colors to work about nvim-web-devicons HOT 9 CLOSED

@kyazdani42 I finally found the issue. My colorscheme setup code waits until the first BufEnter, because of a bug I ran into when setting the colorscheme before a client had connected. If I comment out those lines, I get colored icons. Here is a minimal setup demonstrating the problem:

set termguicolors

exec plug#begin('./bundle')

Plug 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons'
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua'

Plug 'morhetz/gruvbox'

exec plug#end()

lua <<LUA
require("nvim-web-devicons").setup{ default = true }
require("nvim-tree").setup{}
LUA

au BufEnter * ++once colorscheme gruvbox

from nvim-web-devicons.

Setting the colorscheme normally works for now.

I don't quite remember exactly what forced me to delay setting the colorscheme in the first place. I think I was playing with a GUI for Neovim.

hi !
Did you manage to reproduce with a smaller configuration ? your configuration is quite big.
Also which version of neovim do you use ? and which terminal do your run neovim in ?

from nvim-web-devicons.

@kyazdani42 Unfortunately, when I made a minimal configuration with just nvim-web-devicons and nvim-tree, icon colors worked as they should. That's why this is so frustrating.

➜ nvim --version
NVIM v0.5.1
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.0.5

I use alacritty as my terminal:

➜ alacritty --version
alacritty 0.9.0 (fed349aa)

from nvim-web-devicons.

In a minimal setup, I can only replicate this issue if I accidentally configure nvim-web-devicons twice:

require("nvim-web-devicons").setup{ default = true }
require("nvim-web-devicons").setup{ default = true }

-- No colors!

But this isn't what breaks things in my main config. It doesn't matter if I configure it 0 times, once, twice or more.

Also I just realized, when I reload my config I don't get full color support in nvim-tree, only the git status icons get colors. The file type icons are still white 🤔

i think it might be related to your configuration, i haven't been able to reproduce this running setup multiple times. I also can reload my config and it doesn't break anything.
i see that you have plug and packer installed in your configuration. Could this be an issue ?

from nvim-web-devicons.

did you try fixing the colorscheme issue instead ? you should just be able to run colorscheme during startup.

from nvim-web-devicons.

maybe try https://github.com/ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim this one if the original theme is the culprit
