neovide doesn't start

[bsjaramillo]

I follow this instructions for windows:
Install the latest version of Rust. I recommend https://rustup.rs/
Install CMake. I use chocolatey: choco install cmake --installargs '"ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=System"' -y
Install LLVM. I use chocolatey: choco install llvm -y
Ensure graphics libraries are up to date.
git clone https://github.com/Kethku/neovide
cd neovide
cargo build --release
Copy ./target/release/neovide.exe to a known location and enjoy.

but the ./target/release/neovide.exe not open any file or any window

[Kethku]

do you have neovim installed and on the path?

[bsjaramillo]

@Kethku yes, i had installed with choco

[Kethku]

Can you paste the output file if you run with --log?

thats the log

[Kethku]

Hmmm. Thats strange. Do you have a font configured via the guifont option in your vim config?

Does it still fail when run with --clean? (this disables your user profile)

[bsjaramillo]

I dont have set the guifont option in the vim config, and yes, doesn't works with --clean

[Kethku]

Ok another question. Do any of the release versions work? Maybe this issue is recent

[bsjaramillo]

no, the last release did not works for me either

[Kethku]

any earlier ones? Things changed significantly in 0.7

[bsjaramillo]

no, any version dont works hahah, thats strange...

[Kethku]

Very weird :( Ok different strategy. Does alacritty work? What about the opengl branch?

[joncarr]

I am having same issue. Built on Windows from source. The window opens then immediately closes. Neovim is installed and is on the Path

[latkinsv]

I am having same issue. Any release version dont works.
OS is Win10 20H2 19042.928
Log file the same as posted by bsjaramillo but without this row:
INFO [neovide::window::window_wrapper] window created

Additionaly i have next messeges if i start neovide in windows terminal with -h

dpi fix applied

@latkinsv thats a vulkan error and likely unrelated to the other issues here. Can you try the opengl branch?

[bsjaramillo]

with opengl branch neovide does start right, but how i can go to command mode ?, shift + ":" not work xd

[Kethku]

@bsjaramillo are you using a non qwerty keyboard layout? #445

[Kethku]

This has been fixed in main. Please reopen if you continue to see this issue.
