Hi, do you have luarocks installed in your system? It is a requirement to install neorg with lazy.nvim since v8.0 and perhaps you're missing it so lazy is unable to pull the plugin dependencies :)

@NTBBloodbath i have it installed and working

I notice your modules are using the 'core.norg.*' names. I saw in the docs that those were replaced. Try updating them to be:
["core.concealer"] = {}, -- Allows for use of icons
["core.dirman"] = { -- Manage your directories with Neorg

I don't remember where I found that breaking change, but it was mentioned somewhere.

I also see your Obsidian workspace is pointed at the root directory, which may be a typo. If that is supposed to be in your home directory, prepend a tilde (~).

Here is your config with those three changes:

{
	"nvim-neorg/neorg",
	config = function()
		require("neorg").setup({
			load = {
				["core.defaults"] = {}, -- Load all the default modules
				["core.concealer"] = {}, -- Allows for use of icons
				["core.dirman"] = { -- Manage your directories with Neorg
					config = {
						workspaces = {
							my_workspace = "~/notes",
							obsidian = "~/Obsidian",
						},
						default_workspace = "notes",
					},
				},
			}, -- Your Neorg configuration
		})
	end,
}

Hello, I'm experiencing a similar issue

1. I'm using Windows 11 with LunarVim and lazy.nvim.
2. I recently updated from Neorg v7 (which was working correctly) to the latest version.
3. I've tried multiple configurations, including the one suggested in this thread, but I'm still receiving the same error.

Configurations tried:

1. Simple configuration:

{
    "nvim-neorg/neorg",
    lazy = false,
    version = "*",
    config = true,
}

2. Detailed configuration:

{
    "nvim-neorg/neorg",
    build = ":Neorg sync-parsers",
    dependencies = { 
        "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    },
    lazy = false,
    version = "*",
    config = function()
        require("neorg").setup {
            load = {
                ["core.defaults"] = {}, 
                ["core.concealer"] = {}, 
                ["core.dirman"] = { 
                    config = {
                        workspaces = {
                            notes = "C:/Users/YourUserName/Documents/notes",
                        },
                    },
                },
            },
        }
    end,
}

3. Configuration suggested in this thread:

{
    "nvim-neorg/neorg",
    config = function()
        require("neorg").setup({
            load = {
                ["core.defaults"] = {}, 
                ["core.concealer"] = {}, 
                ["core.dirman"] = { 
                    config = {
                        workspaces = {
                            my_workspace = "~/notes",
                            --obsidian = "~/Obsidian",
                        },
                        default_workspace = "notes",
                    },
                },
            },
        })
    end,
}

Error received with all configurations:

Failed to run `config` for neorg
...unarvim/site/pack/lazy/opt/neorg/lua/neorg/core/init.lua:7: module 'lua-utils' not found:

Additional information:

• Neovim v0.10.1
• LuaRocks 3.11.1 is installed and configured in the PATH
• I've tried to manually install 'lua-utils' with LuaRocks
• I've deleted all Neorg-related folders and reinstalled

🥲🥲
Should I open a new issue given that my case seems to be slightly different, or would you prefer I continue the discussion here? Any additional guidance would be greatly appreciated, especially considering I'm using Windows 11 with LunarVim.

the problem is that lunarvim has pinned an old lazy.nvim version which isn't compatible with the current setup for neorg
so you either have to increase the lazy.nvim version or ping and old neorg version

[livexia]

I found a method that might works

1. first install old version of neorg(8.x.x)
2. after successful install
3. update the version to "*"

Adding the 2 dependencies fixed it for me and seems to be working just fine:

    {
      "nvim-neorg/neorg",
      dependencies = {
        -- "luarocks.nvim",
        "nvim-neorg/lua-utils.nvim",
        "pysan3/pathlib.nvim",
      },
...

I do have rocks on my computer but now and then some other plugin faces issues with rocks, that's why I disabled that first dependency.

Those 2 dependencies fixed it for me as well.

Hello,

I had the same problem until I found that I've disabled luarock from my Lazy configuration.
Those 2 dependencies are not necessary with Lazy > 11
Just add these lines in your Lazy.setup():

require("lazy").setup({
    {
        "nvim-neorg/neorg",
        lazy = false, -- Disable lazy loading as some `lazy.nvim` distributions set `lazy = true` by default
        version = "*", -- Pin Neorg to the latest stable release
        config = true,
    }
}, {
    rocks = {
    enabled = true,
    hererocks = true,
  }
})

With that, the installation of those 2 modules will be added automatically

Hope it will work for all of you!

You refer to rocks (not lazy) doing it automatically? Yeah I know, in fact on my personal computer I have it working fine.

But the thing is, rocks is a pain to make it work properly. Last week after getting my work computer replaced I got sick of losing hours on it so added them manually.

ps: I don't use any distrubution, I'm building my own so I don't have the luxury of someone else configuring it for me.

I read somewhere the biggest benefit of rocks would be dep management? Updates management? I don't see why Lazy is not enough for this, for me it works great in both situations. I hope someday rocks become so easy and friendly to use as Lazy is.

The reason is that the user has to manage the dependencies
and not the plugin author
