Tinty custom generated schemes not recognized

[hadallen]

Hi, I found that custom generated schemes are not recognized by the neovim plugin, only built-in colorschemes are found.

I have set up tinted-nvim in my tinty config.toml and have as well added the tinted-theming/tinted-nvim neovim plugin, and created a custom generated scheme (using tinty generate-schema --save --system=base16 /path/to/img.png)

A workaround is to use the .vim file method found in the tinty USAGE.md. I've set the theme script path to the generated file directly:

local theme_script_path = vim.fn.expand("~/.local/share/tinted-theming/tinty/repos/neovim/colors/base24-tinty-generated.vim")

local function file_exists(file_path)
  return vim.fn.filereadable(file_path) == 1 and true or false
end

local function handle_focus_gained()
  if file_exists(theme_script_path) then
      vim.cmd("source " .. theme_script_path)
  end
end

if file_exists(theme_script_path) then
  vim.o.termguicolors = true
  vim.g.tinted_colorspace = 256

  vim.cmd("source " .. theme_script_path)

  vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FocusGained", {
    callback = handle_focus_gained,
  })
end

but, using the :colorscheme command in nvim, it is not found:

I think the best way to solve this is to install tinted-nvim slightly differently, since we need Tinty to build the themes of a template when applying a custom scheme, Tinty needs to have access to that repo.

1. Add tinted-nvim to the list of templates to build in your tinty config.toml
   Append the following to your ~/.config/tinted-theming/tinty/config.toml (set the path correctly to your locally cloned version of tinted-nvim)

   [[items]]
   path = "~/projects/tinted-theming/tinted-nvim"
   name = "tinted-nvim"
   themes-dir = "colors"
   supported-systems = ["base16", "base24"]

2. Make sure you're using a local version of tinted-nvim within your plugin manager
   This is what I have in my lazy.nvim setup under .../plugins/tinted-nvim.lua

   return {
     "~/tinted-theming/tinted-nvim",
     dev = true,
     config = function()
       require("tinted-colorscheme").setup(nil)
     end
   }

Let me know if this works for you and thanks for creating the issue.

wonderful! this worked nicely!

I was able to follow these steps and get it working :)

• cloned the tinted-nvim repo locally
• set the path in my tinty/config.toml to point to it instead of the github repo
• added that lua snippet to my neovim plugins folder, replacing my previous lazy call which loaded "tinted-theming/tinted-nvim".

Now my generated colorschemes are found and applied :) Thank you for the easier workaround.

No problem! Glad it worked. I’ll add some info to the tinted-nvim readme before closing the issue.

A solution that I came up with using tinty hooks:

First make sure you have the directory:
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/colors

tinty config:

[[items]]
path = "https://github.com/tinted-theming/tinted-nvim"
name = "tinted-nvim"
themes-dir = "colors"
supported-systems = ["base16", "base24"]
hook = "command cp -f %f ~/.config/nvim/colors"

plugin init:

return {
	{
		"tinted-theming/tinted-nvim",
		config = function()
			vim.cmd([[colorscheme tinted-nvim-colors-file]])
		end
	}
}
