attempt to call field 'default_capabilities' (a nil value)? about kickstart.nvim

[benjamin-thomas]

I also had that problem (with stable + nightly).

Once I rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/, all was good.

Maybe this should be mentioned as something to run as a first step?

Could you try commenting out line 348 in your init.lua file:

local capabilities = vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()

and set line 349 to:

local capabilities = require('cmp_nvim_lsp').default_capabilities()

I'm curious if for some reason the make_client_capabilties() function is giving you this issue because otherwise its basically the default config given from cmp_nvim_lsp's documentation. Let me know if the same error is present or if this solves it for you.

This worked for me, just had to do :PackerSync to make sure cmp-nvim-lsp was updated. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I knew it was an issue like that but couldn't remember where nvim wrote files to. I had an existing nvim setup already. I will make a PR to the readme.
