Stylua Crash Fix

Problem

You were experiencing stylua crashing errors after upgrading Neovim. This was likely caused by stylua 2.1.0 requiring explicit configuration.

Root Cause

Stylua 2.1.0 introduced stricter configuration requirements. Without a .stylua.toml configuration file, stylua may fail or behave unexpectedly when called by conform.nvim.

Solution

Created a .stylua.toml configuration file in your project root with sensible defaults that match your Neovim configuration style:

column_width = 120
line_endings = "Unix"
indent_type = "Tabs"
indent_width = 4
quote_style = "AutoPreferDouble"
call_parentheses = "Input"
collapse_simple_statement = "Never"

What This Configuration Does

• column_width = 120: Wraps lines at 120 characters
• line_endings = "Unix": Uses Unix line endings (LF)
• indent_type = "Tabs": Uses tabs for indentation (matches your config)
• indent_width = 4: Tab width of 4 spaces
• quote_style = "AutoPreferDouble": Prefers double quotes
• call_parentheses = "Input": Preserves input parentheses style
• collapse_simple_statement = "Never": Doesn't collapse simple statements

Files Modified

• Created: .stylua.toml (new configuration file)

Testing

Stylua now works correctly:

stylua lua/shelbybark/core/init.lua  # ✓ Success

How to Verify

1. Open any Lua file in Neovim
2. Press <leader>mp to format
3. Stylua should format without errors

Additional Notes

• This configuration file will be used by stylua automatically
• It applies to all Lua files in your project
• You can customize the settings in .stylua.toml as needed
• The configuration is compatible with stylua 2.1.0+

If You Still Have Issues

1. Verify stylua is installed: which stylua
2. Check version: stylua --version
3. Test manually: stylua --check lua/shelbybark/core/init.lua
4. Check for errors: stylua -v lua/shelbybark/core/init.lua
