This script needs set -e at the top (or && or || exit 1 on each step), so it won't continue if there are previous errors. I ran it, got a bunch of errors, and couldn't read the errors before nvim started. In hindsight I should have just done each step manually.

I haven't done the migration yet, but the code is pretty big and has a lot going on. I already posted feedback about this (here), but I'll probably try to understand what it exactly does anyway and then see if I want to run it manually or not.

feel free to send an updated version of the script, i'll add it in the migration docs on nvchad.com itself

hi. I'm configure nvim-dap. In 2.0, it can be configured like (copied from here https://github.com/dreamsofcode-io/neovim-cpp/blob/main/plugins.lua#L33）:

 {
    "mfussenegger/nvim-dap",
    config = function(_, _)
      require("core.utils").load_mappings("dap")
    end
  },

Migrate it into lua/plugins/xxx.lua in v2.5, it reports error:

Failed to run `config` for nvim-dap

Failed to run `config` for nvim-dap-ui

/root/.local/share/nvim/lazy/nvim-dap-ui/lua/dapui/init.lua:36: nvim-dap-ui requires nvim-nio to be installed. Install from https://github.com/nvim-neotest/nvim-nio

How can I solve this ?

BTW, I install neovim 0.9.5 in customized path:

# ls /data/opt/nvim/
bin  lib  man  share

@baiwfg2 the mapping part isnt automatic, so please remove the core.utils** stuff and convert your mappings to new ones

Works on macos with gsed in lieu of sed
