vimr: E1502: Lua failed to grow stack to 4001

When I open a larger tex file in VimR (version 4.46.0), I get following error:

E1502: Lua failed to grow stack to 4001
E1502: Lua failed to grow stack to 4001
...

I do not get the error in VimR version 0.44.0 with neovim 0.8.2 from January 2023.

I use the ftplugin VimTeX.

I raise this issue in the repository of VimR since I do not get the error on the command line or with other neovim guis such as neovim-qt or neovide.

Steps to reproduce:

Install VimTeX, e.g. with lazy.nvim (My config started from kickstart-modular.nvim)
Open following tex file from the test folder of VimTeX:

~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/vimtex/test/test-toc-speed/main.tex

VimR version: 0.46.0 (20240102.233758)

Anecdotally the error has disappeared for me since I switched to nvim-tree so in my little world of plugins nerdtree feels like it was the primary culprit. Would love to see whatever setting vimr is using be configurable or higher or whatever is required to avoid it occurring though since obviously it never occurred for me via the cli.

I’m also getting this regularly, it’s getting quite frustrating as I have to restart my editor randomly or this makes me basically unable to work. Any ideas on how we can set the stack size higher? To confirm what @mmerickel is saying I do not get this is normal neovim only vimr

Furthermore this seems to cause a hang when quitting if you ignore it too long

I’m running into this regularly. I do use NERDTree and always have it open. I tried using the CLI version of VIM instead of the version shipped with vimR but same issue regardless (albeit seems to take more minutes before it shows up whereas it’s usually within a minute with the builtin nvim).

Using system NVIM (/opt/homebrew/bin/nvim):

NVIM v0.9.5
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1703358377

   system vimrc file: "$VIM/sysinit.vim"
  fall-back for $VIM: "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/neovim/0.9.5/share/nvim"

Using builtin NVIM:

NVIM v0.9.5
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1692716794

   system vimrc file: "$VIM/sysinit.vim"
  fall-back for $VIM: "/usr/local/share/nvim"

Stumbled across here from Google. I also seem to get this error a ton if NERDTree is open. I don’t use VimTeX.

chrisfosterelli on Feb 16, 2024

It was my understanding that our build is now vanilla neovim but perhaps we should explicitly set a larger stack size if it is not.

georgeharker on Jan 19, 2024

I get this warning every time I navigate to a memory-intensive buffer such as a large file or the NERDTree split, both when using the builtin neovim and the Homebrew neovim binary.

i’ve found that downgrading to version 0.44.0 stops this problem. although, it seems that sometimes the VimR.app file automatically updates itself after the app is closed and reopened. but reinstalling version 0.44.0 before opening the app seems to “stop” this problem. (although it does get a bit tedious.)

at this point i just have an unzipped version of v0.44.0 that i drag into my applications directory before i open the app.
