Problem with using wallust

[HexChap]

I'm currently running nvim 0.11.3 and trying to setup the plugin.
The issue is that even though I specify use_wallust = true it still tries to find the pywal file.

Error detected while processing /home/user/.config/nvim/init.lua:                                                                                                                          
Colorscheme file '/home/user/.cache/wal/colors-wal.vim' could not be found, falling back to the builtin colorscheme.

My config is:

{
    'RedsXDD/neopywal.nvim',
    name = 'neopywal',
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    config = function()
      require('neopywal').setup {
        use_wallust = true,
      }
      vim.cmd.colorscheme 'neopywal'
    end,
},

Create a file in ~/.config/neovim/plugins/

return {
    "RedsXDD/neopywal.nvim",
    name = "neopywal",
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    version = "*",
    config = function()
      require("neopywal").setup({
        use_wallust = true,
        transparent_background = true,
      })
    end,
}

Am on version 2.6.0

P.s do you have your wallust setup properly? I mean is the template generating the colors-wal.vim file in the required place?

for me I've set this in my wallust.toml

neopywal = { src = 'neopywal.vim', dst = '~/.cache/wallust/colors_neopywal.vim' }

and my neopywal.vim present in the ~/.config/wallust/templates/ is

let background = "{{background}}"
let foreground = "{{foreground}}"
let cursor = "{{cursor}}"
let color0 = "{{color0}}"
let color1 = "{{color1}}"
let color2 = "{{color2}}"
let color3 = "{{color3}}"
let color4 = "{{color4}}"
let color5 = "{{color5}}"
let color6 = "{{color6}}"
let color7 = "{{color7}}"
let color8 = "{{color8}}"
let color9 = "{{color9}}"
let color10 = "{{color10}}"
let color11 = "{{color11}}"
let color12 = "{{color12}}"
let color13 = "{{color13}}"
let color14 = "{{color14}}"
let color15 = "{{color15}}"

I have the same issue. No matter whether I simply enable use_wallust = true or colorscheme_file = ~/.cache/wallust/colors_neopywal.vim. It simply get's ignored. If I remove the ~/.cache/wal directory, the plugin throws an error that the wal files cannot be found. Curious!

I fixed it (for now at least) by changing my ~/.config/wallust/wallust.toml to read:

neopywal = { src = 'colors_neopywal.vim', dst = '~/.cache/wal/colors_wal.vim' }

use_wallust was removed in commit df179ff, I fix it by using use_palette:

require('neopywal').setup({
    use_palette = {
      light = "wallust",
      dark = "wallust",
    },
})

},

I see now thanks @R2m1liA for pointing this out, I remember trying to get my wallust setup working but eventually end up figuring out that use of version = "*", in the config resulted in the latest release version for which documentation is up-to-date with.

P.s can anyone help me how do I set colorscheme neopywal-dark always?

Yes, the options colorscheme_file and use_wallust have been deprecated and switched into use_palette which is much better, it took me a while do push the documentation update because of personal reasons but now you can take a look at the docs/ directory for more up-to-date information about the plugin 😅.

can't you just set your coloscheme to neopywal-dark directly? Or do you mean keeping it a dark theme even when Pywal exports a light one? because if it's the latter then you may want to take a look at editting the exported Neopywal palette with options such as:

require("neopywal").setup({
    custom_colors = {},
})
