bug: Borderless cmdline popups

Neovim version (nvim -v)

NVIM v0.11.0-dev-20a7eeb

Operating system/version

archlinux 6.9.4-arch1-1

Describe the bug

With the commit 4c1efad, my existing configuration (also the configuration recipe for clean cmdline_popup) for noice.nvim started throwing errors for cmdline_popup views. The following error was thrown

....local/share/nvim/lazy/nui.nvim/lua/nui/popup/border.lua:686: text not supported for style:none

The issue is because you're setting the prompt as the popup title and nui.nvim doesn't support border text with border.style = 'none'.

Steps To Reproduce

Install noice.nvim with the provided configuration and run the command lua vim.fn.input { prompt = '>' }.

Expected Behavior

The text should either be still shown as part of the prompt or there needs to be better handling upstream. You could also just ignore the prompt text, but that would be a radical solution.

Repro

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify('./.repro', ':p')

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs { 'config', 'data', 'state', 'cache' } do
    vim.env[('XDG_%s_HOME'):format(name:upper())] = root .. '/' .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. '/plugins/lazy.nvim'
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
    vim.fn.system {
        'git',
        'clone',
        '--filter=blob:none',
        'https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git',
        lazypath,
    }
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
    'folke/tokyonight.nvim',
    {
        'folke/noice.nvim',
        dependencies = {
            'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim',
        },
        opts = {
            views = { cmdline_popup = { border = { style = 'none', padding = { 1, 1 } } } },
        },
    },
}
require('lazy').setup(plugins, {
    root = root .. '/plugins',
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme 'tokyonight'
-- add anything else here

This is not a bug. nui does not support border.style = 'none' for popup window. See MunifTanjim/nui.nvim#290 (comment). Should close.

[Chaitanyabsprip]

I realize it's not a bug of nui.nvim, It is a bug in how noice.nvim is setting up the options for nui.nvim. see

noice.nvim/lua/noice/view/nui.lua

Line 61 in 4c1efad

self._opts.border.text = self._opts.border.text or {}

this line makes noice break for me, it doesn't check for style == 'none' or handle that case in any manner, if I checkout the commit before this change, it works great

[sleeptightAnsiC]

This is a regression in noice.nvim

Roll-backing to 29c7f03 (4.0.1) fixes this for me (temporary ofc).

Roll-backing to b828b57 (4.1.0) should also work, unless you're using a custom position for cmdline_popup since 07e8f9c changed how said position is being handled (which seems it was later fixed in e55ce94).

[folke]

input uses the cmdline_input view which extends from cmdline_popup.
I just pushed a change that now always makes sure cmdline_input has a border.

If you don't want that, you need to change the view used by cmdline input. (see config)
