Description

When I open any file with neovim, I got the following error, with the module img-clip not found.

Error detected while processing /home/bhasher/.config/nvim/init.lua:

Minimal, Reproducible Example (MRE)

programs.nixvim = {
  enable = true;
  plugins = {
    avante = {
      enable = true;
    }  
  }
}

Yeah, a recent avante commit introduced that as a dependency. Think we should add it to dependencies upstream if it’s part of core behavior or extra plugins if optional.

[MattSturgeon]

If that MRE really does produce this issue, then it looks like it is either an on-by-default feature or a required feature. So adding the dependency in nixpkgs is probably the correct solution.

That MRE is also part of our test suite, so you can avoid the issue by allowing nixvim to use the nixpkgs revision pinned in our lockfile. To do this, you simply need to remove any inputs.nixpkgs.follows from your nixvim input in your flake.nix and run nix flake lock.

Not having an inputs.nixpkgs.follows will allow nixvim to use its own instance of nixpkgs, which will be the same one we've ran our test suite against. This won't affect the pkgs seen by your nixos or home-manager configurations.
