Error: Directory type cache not supported on this platform (unix)

[jjess]

Hi:

My system is FreeBSD 14.2 with:

VIM 9.1
deno 2.2.9

and plugins denops and futago configured in SpaceVim:

[[custom_plugins]]
repo = 'vim-denops/denops.vim'
merged = false

[[custom_plugins]]
repo = 'yukimemi/futago.vim'
merged = false

When I launch vim or gvim I get the following error:

[denops] Failed to load plugin 'futago': Error: Directory type cache not supported on this platform (unix)

In chatgtp I've found answers regarding the type of cache, with memory instead of directory, but it's not clear enough for me.

Do you think is it possible to fix this error?

Thanks in advance,

Jes

Hi Jes,

Thanks for reporting this issue! I appreciate you taking the time to investigate and provide the details.

You're right, the error Directory type cache not supported on this platform (unix) seems to be caused by the jsr:@cross/dir dependency I'm using to determine default cache/config paths. It appears this library doesn't have built-in support for the 'cache' directory type specifically on FreeBSD.

I've just implemented a fix that addresses this. The plugin now checks if you've explicitly set the paths for chat history, the database, and log files using the global variables. If these variables are set, it will use your specified paths instead of trying to use jsr:@cross/dir for the default location.

To make this work on your FreeBSD system, please update the plugin to the latest version. Then, you'll need to set the following variables in your Vim/Neovim config (like your SpaceVim config or .vimrc):

• g:futago_chat_path: The directory where chat history files will be saved.
• g:futago_history_db: The path to the history database file.
• g:futago_log_file: The path to the plugin's log file.

For example, you could add lines like this to your config:

let g:futago_chat_path = expand('~/.cache/futago/chat')
let g:futago_history_db = expand('~/.cache/futago/db/history.db')
let g:futago_log_file = expand('~/.cache/futago/log/futago.log')

(You can choose any paths you prefer, just make sure they are directories the plugin can write to).

Once you update the plugin and set these variables, the error related to dir('cache') should disappear.

Hope this helps resolve the issue on FreeBSD! Let me know if you encounter any further problems.

Cheers,
yukimemi

Hi:

Thanks for your help... yes, with the new version I don't have errors... but it doesn't work. After start VIM I type :FutagoStartChat and nothing happens. I have the environment variable GEMINI_API_KEY defined, and I don't see any other error. But it doesn't work. Any idea?

Same behavior with NeoVim 0.11.1.

Thanks in adevance,

Jes
