bug: Error while calling lua chunk

[JayMGurav]

Did you check docs and existing issues?

• I have read all the lazy docs
• I have searched the existing issues of lazy
• I have searched the exsiting issues of the plugin I have a problem with

Neovim version (nvim -v)

v0.8.0

Operating system/version

MacOs (12.6.1)

Describe the bug

My ...nvim/lua/jay/lazy.lua file is as below

----------------------------------------------------
-- Bootstrap lazy
-----------------------------------------------------
 local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
  if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
      "git",
      "clone",
      "--filter=blob:none",
      "--single-branch",
      "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
      lazypath,
  })
  end
  vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)
----------------------------------------------------

require("lazy").setup("jay.plugins", {
  install = { colorscheme = { "horizon", "doom-one.nvim" } },
  performance = {
    rtp = {
      disabled_plugins = {
        "gzip",
        "matchit",
        "matchparen",
        "netrwPlugin",
        "tarPlugin",
        "tohtml",
        "tutor",
        "zipPlugin",
      },
    },
  },
  debug = true,
})

jay.nnoremap("<leader>l", "<cmd>:Lazy<cr>")

While jay.plugins dir contains all the plugins as mentioned in Structuring your plugins

Steps To Reproduce

1. require above lua/jay/lazy.lua file in nvim/init.lua

Expected Behavior

should work as expected without any errors

Repro

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "--filter=blob:none",
    "--single-branch",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
  "folke/tokyonight.nvim",
  -- add any other pugins here
}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight")
-- add anything else here

the Repro code worked as expected though, I don't understand what's the issue with my setup

[max397574]

you should modify the repro so that the bug exists with it

[folke]

I can prevent that error, but that would mask the problem. The issue is probably that you have a dependency specified somewhere with a plugin name that does not exist. So you have a plugin name in a dep without a forward slash and that plugin does not exist.

I'll add a proper error message for this, so it will be easier to see what's wrong

[folke]

I've added a clear error if what I think is happening here is happening. Let me know if you still can't resolve the issue

[JayMGurav]

yea, this was issue, but the error was persisting even after add appropriate plugin name. So I had to start fresh again with the first plugin. Thanks! for adding clear error msgs, it gives better visibility of the issue.
