Can we save complete kitty buffer log on any file

[ciscohack]

Hello Expert,

I am new to this tool. trying my best. I have one query can we store or redirect the kitty buffer history in some text file to use it for later analysis? and how to use "kitty-scrollback.nvim configuration file" table mentioned in "https://github.com/mikesmithgh/kitty-scrollback.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#:~:text=the%20scrollback%20buffer.-,kitty-scrollback.nvim%20configuration,in%20the%20terminal%20history.,-About"

I am also getting the below error while running a health check. I don't know if my config is causing the problem or something else it was working sometime back.

shell_integration  enabled
allow_remote_control yes
listen_on unix:/tmp/mykitty
nvim --headless +'KittyScrollbackGenerateKittens' +'set nonumber' +'set norelativenumber' +'%print' +'quit!' 2>&1

# kitty-scrollback.nvim Kitten alias
action_alias kitty_scrollback_nvim kitten ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/kitty-scrollback.nvim/python/kitty_scrollback_nvim.py

# Browse scrollback buffer in nvim
map kitty_mod+h kitty_scrollback_nvim
# Browse output of the last shell command in nvim
map kitty_mod+g kitty_scrollback_nvim --config ksb_builtin_last_cmd_output kitty_get_text.extent screen+scrollback
# Show clicked command output in nvim
mouse_map kitty_mod+right press ungrabbed combine : mouse_select_command_output : kitty_scrollback_nvim --config ksb_builtin_last_visited_cmd_output

Hi @ciscohack

can we store or redirect the kitty buffer history in some text file to use it for later analysis?

You can save the buffer like any other buffer in Neovim. For example, :w test.txt should save the scrollback buffer in the file test.txt. One thing to note is that this will only save plaintext, no formatting.

I am also getting the below error while running a health check.

That error indicates that the command is not found. Most likely kitty-scrollback.nvim is lazy loaded and not actually loaded. Does you lazy.nvim config include the cmd field similar to below?

  {
    'mikesmithgh/kitty-scrollback.nvim',
    enabled = true,
    lazy = true,
    cmd = { 'KittyScrollbackGenerateKittens', 'KittyScrollbackCheckHealth' },
    event = { 'User KittyScrollbackLaunch' },
    -- version = '*', -- latest stable version, may have breaking changes if major version changed
    -- version = '^3.0.0', -- pin major version, include fixes and features that do not have breaking changes
    config = function()
      require('kitty-scrollback').setup()
    end,
  }

There is a similar bug reported LazyVim/LazyVim#1237. Are you still seeing this error?

I have some details on this in the following comments:

@mikesmithgh thanks for the response... here is my config

{
    'mikesmithgh/kitty-scrollback.nvim',
    enabled = true,
    lazy = true,
    cmd = { 'KittyScrollbackGenerateKittens', 'KittyScrollbackCheckHealth' },
    event = { 'User KittyScrollbackLaunch' },
    -- version = '*', -- latest stable version, may have breaking changes if major version changed
    -- version = '^2.0.0', -- pin major version, include fixes and features that do not have breaking changes
  --   config = function()
  --     require('kitty-scrollback').setup()
  --     return { kitty_get_text = { extent = 'all', ansi = true, }, } 
  --   end,
  -- },
    config = function()
       local msg = {}
       return {
         callbacks = {
           after_setup = function()
             vim.defer_fn(function()
               table.insert(
                 msg,
                 '# kitty-scrollback after_setup callback triggered @ ' .. vim.fn.strftime('%c')
               )
             end, 1000)
           end,
          after_launch = function()
            vim.defer_fn(function()
              table.insert(
                msg,
                '# kitty-scrollback after_launch callback triggered @ ' .. vim.fn.strftime('%c')
              )
             end, 2000)
           end,
          after_ready = function(kitty_data, opts)
            vim.defer_fn(function()
              vim.cmd.startinsert()
               table.insert(
                 msg,
                 '# kitty-scrollback after_ready callback triggered @ ' .. vim.fn.strftime('%c')
               )
               table.insert(msg, '# kitty_data:')
               table.insert(msg, '# ' .. vim.fn.json_encode(kitty_data))
               table.insert(msg, '# opts:')
               table.insert(msg, '# ' .. vim.fn.json_encode(vim.inspect(opts)))
               vim.api.nvim_buf_set_lines(0, 0, -1, false, msg)
               vim.cmd.stopinsert()
             end, 3000)
           end,
        },
      }
    end
    },  
    
    ```
