Trouble setting up new theme

[avasilic]

Hi there,

I'm new to Neovim and recently started using it with the help of kickstart.nvim. While going through the init.lua file, I decided to change the default onedark theme provided by kickstart.nvim to vim-colors-xcode.

Following the example in the README of this repo, I added the theme to my configuration like this:

{
    "arzg/vim-colors-xcode",
    lazy = false, -- make sure we load this during startup if it is your main colorscheme
    priority = 1000, -- make sure to load this before all the other start plugins
    config = function()
      -- load the colorscheme here
      vim.cmd([[colorscheme xcodedark]])
    end,
  },

The theme appears to have been installed successfully, but the vim.cmd command does not seem to execute during startup. When I manually run colorscheme xcodedark, the theme changes as expected.

I did encounter a warning in my init.lua: Undefined global vim. However, this global vim is referenced in other parts of the init.lua file and seems to be working fine elsewhere.

My entire init.lua: https://gist.github.com/net-tech/b92c4d57e69068ec07d7b6115d4f9dab

I'd appreciate any help. Apologies if this isn't the right repository for such questions.

Thank you!

Just delete the lines about config = function .... and put at the end of the file vim.cmd([[colorscheme xcodedark]]). This happens because the colorscheme is written in Vimscript instead of Lua and lazy.nvim and when you call the the config function it's expected to require the main Lua module but it can't. See for example the onedark.nvim in the kickstart init.lua file which has a require('onedark').setup{...}, it can require the onedark. But the colorscheme you want to use doesn't have a Lua module to be required. That's why you should put at the end of the init.lua file the command for the colorscheme.

Ah, that makes sense. It works now! Thanks for your help
