Prerequisites

I have searched existing issues
I have updated to the latest version

Neovim version

NVIM v0.11.3
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.1741730670
Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info

Operating system

Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon

Description

Whenever you try to execute the command :LiveServerStart inside of a oil.nvim window (or buffer, sorry if I confuse the terminology), it crashes the entire text-editor. It just leaves you with with a frozen oil.nvim window.
It also makes the CPU to start rising temperature, but I don't know if that is a result of the plugin crashing or if it comes from another place.

Crashed window screenshot:

Note: I tried with repro.lua and I get the same results, the crash and the rising CPU temperature.

Steps to reproduce

Open Neovim
Open oil.nvim or execute :Oil
Execute :LiveServerStart

Health check

live-server:                                                              1 ❌

- ❌ ERROR No healthcheck found for "live-server" plugin.

Minimal reproduction

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = '.repro'
load(vim.fn.system('curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua'))()
require('lazy.nvim').setup({
  spec = {
    {
      'barrett-ruth/live-server.nvim',
      opts = {},
    },
  },
})

@nicolasRuarte working on this right now - including the erroneous healthcheck.

Very sorry about this. Had never run from an oil:/// buffer - made a forward looking fix here. Thanks and LMK if it fixes your issue.

Hi! Thank you very much! It now runs without problems, even the checkhealth

bet. yeah, i noticed the checkhealth was garbage xd.

Hoping the latest setup changes and lua-oriented code (no more live-server) have been working well for you.

Thanks for using the plugin!
