How to install in NvChad? about cmp-tabnine

[siduck]

author of nvchad here. i'd suggest using this as it doesnt load the plugin at startup.
@ansidev

{
    "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp",
    opts = {
      sources = {
        { name = "nvim_lsp" },
        { name = "luasnip" },
        { name = "buffer" },
        { name = "nvim_lua" },
        { name = "path" },
        { name = "cmp_tabnine" },
      },
    },

    dependencies = {
      {
        "tzachar/cmp-tabnine",
        build = "./install.sh",
        config = function()
          local tabnine = require "cmp_tabnine.config"
          tabnine:setup {} -- put your options here
        end,
      },
    },
},

FWIW. This is how I got TabNine working in NvChad

custom/plugins/init.lua

return {
  ["tzachar/cmp-tabnine"] = {
    after = "nvim-cmp",
    run = "./install.sh",
    config = function()
      require "custom.plugins.configs.tabnine"
    end,
  },
}

custom/plugins/configs/tabnine.lua

local present, cmp = pcall(require, "cmp")

if not present then
   return
end

local sources = {
  { name = 'cmp_tabnine' },
}

cmp.setup {
   sources = sources,
}

My config for NvChad v2.0

File: lua/custom/plugins.lua

  {
    "tzachar/cmp-tabnine",
    lazy = false,
    dependencies = "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp",
    build = "./install.sh",
    config = function()
      require("cmp").setup {
        sources = {
          { name = 'cmp_tabnine' },
        },
      }
      require('cmp_tabnine.config').setup {
        max_lines = 1000,
        max_num_results = 20,
        sort = true,
        run_on_every_keystroke = true,
        snippet_placeholder = '..',
        show_prediction_strength = false
      }
    end,
  },

Never used NvChad. But one issue that comes to mind is that you need to run the install.sh script.
No Idea how to do that in NvChad.
You can also call the install.sh script by hand once, which will solve the issue.

My setup appears to not be able to hook into tabnine at all.

When I run: :CmpStatus I can see that it's ready

When I run: LspInfo i get:

But when I check Packer:

I can see it's installed properly.

Does anyone know how I can get cmp to load my tab nine data?

Even my Tabnine hub seems to be picking up my sources and everything

[tzachar]

Did you add cmp_tabnine to cmp's sources list?

[JasonDorn]

I believe so, I assume that's why it's available in my first screen shot when I run :CmpStatus 🤔

It almost feels like it gets picked up by cmp but not wired up to the lsp client itself.

The one language client that seems to get picked up by my LSP client is:

lspconfig.sumneko_lua.setup {
  on_attach = M.on_attach,
  capabilities = M.capabilities,

  settings = {
    Lua = {
      diagnostics = {
        globals = { "vim" },
      },
      workspace = {
        library = {
          [vim.fn.expand "$VIMRUNTIME/lua"] = true,
          [vim.fn.expand "$VIMRUNTIME/lua/vim/lsp"] = true,
        },
        maxPreload = 100000,
        preloadFileSize = 10000,
      },
    },
  },
}

because if have this config. I'm trying to figure out how to do the same for:

lspconfig.cmp_tabnine.setup {
  on_attach = M.on_attach,
  capabilities = M.capabilities,
}

This is my compiled packer file:

  ["cmp-tabnine"] = {
    after_files = { "/Users/jasondorn/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/opt/cmp-tabnine/after/plugin/cmp-tabnine.lua" },
    config = { "\27LJ\2\ni\0\0\1\0\1\0\0025\0\0\0L\0\2\0\1\0\5\29show_prediction_strength\1\27run_on_every_keystroke\2\20max_num_results\3\5\14max_lines\3è\a\tsort\2\0" },
    load_after = {
      ["nvim-cmp"] = true
    },
    loaded = false,
    needs_bufread = false,
    path = "/Users/jasondorn/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/opt/cmp-tabnine",
    url = "https://github.com/tzachar/cmp-tabnine"
  },

Seems to load everything properly?

New Error:

[tzachar]

I don't know why you keep bringing up LSP. TabNine does not interface into any LSP, but operates on its own.
This plugin only plugs TabNine into cmp.
You need to remove all LSP config which references tabnine.
Anyway, I was asking if you added cmp_tabnine as a source for cmp

[JasonDorn]

Sorry, newer to these configs, trying to make sense of it all.

I did!

  sources = {
    { name = "luasnip" },
    { name = "nvim_lsp" },
    { name = "buffer" },
    { name = "nvim_lua" },
    { name = "path" },
    { name = "cmp_tabnine"}
  },

Running :CmpStatus yields:

So I believe it's ready to be used? My issue is probably less with your work and why my nvim-lsp isn't picking up on my cmp configs

[tzachar]

Again, nvim lsp is not connected to cmp. Its the other way around.
cmp will use nvim_lsp to get completion from the running lsp.

[tzachar]

You should call setup with a :

require('cmp_tabnine.config'):setup
