Debugging cmp, LuaSnip, lspconfig, barbecue, and catppuccin errors

[bennypowers]

Leaving this here for anyone else facing similar difficulties

Occasionally when starting vim, i'll get one of all of these errors:

|| Failed to source `/home/bennyp/.local/share/nvim/lazy/LuaSnip/plugin/luasnip.vim` ...local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/loader.lua:433: Vim(lua):E5108: Error executing lua ...yp/.local/share/nvim/lazy/LuaSnip/lua/luasnip/config.lua:153: attempt to call field 'lazy_table' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...yp/.local/share/nvim/lazy/LuaSnip/lua/luasnip/config.lua:153: in main chunk [C]: in function 'require' [string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk [C]: in function 'cmd' ...local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/loader.lua:433: in function <...local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/loader.lua:432> [C]: in function 'xpcall' .../.local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/util.lua:110: in function 'try' ...local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/loader.lua:432: in function 'source' ...local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/loader.lua:391: in function 'source_runtime' ...local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/loader.lua:359: in function 'packadd' ...local/share/nvim/lazy/l

This stack trace is saying that luasnips' init module can't load luasnips' own util module... weird, right?

|| [lspconfig] Cannot access configuration for stylelint_lsp. Ensure this server is listed in `server_configurations.md` or added as a custom server.

I triple checked, stylint_lsp and eslint are definitely listed in server_configurations.md

This commit seems to have fixed the problem, or maybe it's just great RNG? What I did:

• inline require calls in entry predicates in cmp setup
• inline require calls in lspconfig server config modules
• make catppuccin depend on barbecue, and not the other way around
• spec luasnip outside of nvim-cmp

not sure which of these were necessary, or in which combination, or if a previous attempt also contained necessary fixes

oh man, you saved me.

inline require calls in entry predicates in cmp setup did fixed the issue.

and, also need to :

cd ~/.local/share/nvim/site/
rm -rf packer

cd ~/.cache/nvim
rm -rf packer.nvim

since we are using lazy.nvim (but prev using packer.nvim)
most people do not remember to clean up the cached plugins

those seems to be https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim things, but somehow loaded and caused problem.
