[mini.map] Issue with symbols in mini.map

[Jomik]

I have an issue where the symbols in the minimap show up like unknown characters. They look just fine in the normal buffers. I am using the dot encoding

Any ideas what causes this?

    "echasnovski/mini.map",
    version = "*",
    opts = function(_, opts)
      local mini_map = require("mini.map")
      opts.integrations = {
        mini_map.gen_integration.builtin_search(),
        mini_map.gen_integration.diff(),
        mini_map.gen_integration.diagnostic(),
      }
      opts.symbols = {
        encode = mini_map.gen_encode_symbols.dot("4x2"),
      }
    end,
    init = function(_, opts)
      local mini_map = require("mini.map")
      mini_map.setup(opts)
      vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("VimEnter", {
        callback = mini_map.open,
      })

      vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("WinClosed", {
        callback = mini_map.refresh,
      })

      vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "CursorHold", "CursorHoldI" }, {
        callback = function()
          local _, col = unpack(vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0))
          local width = vim.api.nvim_win_get_width(0)
          if width - col < 20 then
            mini_map.close()
          else
            mini_map.open()
          end
        end,
      })
    end,
  }

That's the first time I am seeing this kind of issue (work in regular buffer but not in floating window). Here is what I'd suspect first:

• Positive 'winblend' which affects how characters are rendered in floating window. I.e. try to setting window.winblend = 0 in require('mini.map') and see if it fixes the issue.
• General terminal emulator issue. Try different terminal emulator. By the way, what terminal emulator and OS is this from?

I tried setting this in the above opts function for lazy.nvim, same issue.

      opts.window = {
        winblend = 0,
      }

This is MacOS, Neovide. Here is a help page with the dots visible.

Sooo, I changed my config to move my opts into init, and that fixed it.
So I must have done something wrong ... My original config is in the top post.

{
    "echasnovski/mini.map",
    version = "*",
    init = function(_, opts)
      local mini_map = require("mini.map")
      opts = {
        integrations = {
          mini_map.gen_integration.builtin_search(),
          mini_map.gen_integration.diff(),
          mini_map.gen_integration.diagnostic(),
        },
        symbols = {
          encode = mini_map.gen_encode_symbols.dot("4x2"),
        },
      }
      mini_map.setup(opts)
      vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("VimEnter", {
        callback = mini_map.open,
      })

      vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("WinClosed", {
        callback = mini_map.refresh,
      })

      vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "CursorHold", "CursorHoldI" }, {
        callback = function()
          local _, col = unpack(vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0))
          local width = vim.api.nvim_win_get_width(0)
          if width - col < 20 then
            mini_map.close()
          else
            mini_map.open()
          end
        end,
      })
    end,
  }

Glad that it got resolved! Although definitely a strange issue.

I think it may be because .setup is called twice? I realise that I should use config and not init since I call setup 🤔 At least my initial configuration also seems to work if I use config instead of init.

[echasnovski]

I don't think calling setup() twice should have that effect.

[Jomik]

No, I agree 🤔
