:Telescope find_files in combination with nvim-tree crashes nvim when opening a directory (nvim dir)

[siblanco]

Steps to reproduce:

1. nvim "any dir"
2. :Telescope find_files
3. choose any file and hit enter

nvim crashes quietly when there is no buffer yet. No errors in .cache/nvim/log
When you toggle off nvim-tree (a buffer is created), find_files does not crash nvim anymore.

How can we / I solve this?

Hey!
Not sure if you're talking of this error (link).
I'm using treesitter @ commit 518e2 and telescope @ commit d96ea and :TSUpdate fixed my problem

Hey man,
i made a short video (15sec) to show what I am talking about:
https://storage.siblanco.dev/nvimcrash.mp4

• on first open, I toggle :Telescope find_files and enter on style.css -> nvim crashes
• on second open, I toggle Nvim-Tree and then do :Telescope find_files, now it works

Same problem did you find any solution?

@sleaper I am not using nvim-tree anymore, switched to telescope file browser if one is really needed.
best advice I can give you here: do not nvim the directory, cd into the directory before and then simply call nvim in there. That fixed many quirks for me...not sure if it fixed the nvimtree bug aswell, i think it did.

FYI I am experiencing the same behavior as the video with a different configuration:

• nvim-tree is not installed (NeoTreee instead)
• am not even using LunarVim (I navigated to this issue by happenstance)
• cd into a directory and calling nvim from there makes no difference, I still crash

Edit

Fixed by reinstalling neovim
