curl: (23) Failed writing received data to disk/application

[Zeioth]

Got this error running the plugin leetcode.nvim on android (termux). It happen here. It seems to actually be a plenary, or a curl error.

It says:
"curl: (23) Failed writing received data to disk/application"

Error executing luv callback:

I've got a similar issue running lazy.nvim on Termux.

My guess is that it's trying to write to somewhere that isn't accessible in Termux.

Termux doesn't have permission to access Android's /tmp/ directory, so that could be it.
This is dealt with in Termux packages by using $PREFIX/tmp/ instead.

@Zeioth I'm pretty sure I just fixed this on my install by setting $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to "$PREFIX/tmp/" before running neovim.
A quick grep revealed that plenary checks if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR exists, only defaulting to /tmp/ if it doesn't.

The fix proposed by @amb3r-dev worked in my case, this error is affecting some neovim plugins.

Thanks @amb3r-dev this also worked for me! I was having an issue installing a neovim plugin too. In my case XDG_RUNTIME_DIR was set to /run/user/1000/ but that directory didn't exist. I created it and set the ownership to my user and all is well.

[rosshadden]

Just in case people see this, see that there are workarounds and 👍 emojis floating around, I want to say that I think this should be worked around / fixed in this project rather than in user-land.

On my computers, it seems like the /run/user/<uid> directory doesn't exist until you log in to a graphical session as that user. Which means if you turn on a computer and ssh to it through another, neovim repeatedly has the above error. The workarounds work of course, but I don't think a random neovim plugin should prevent neovim from being used over ssh or mandate its own workaround.

I don't mean this to be hostile by any means, and I'm sorry if it sounds obvious to other people more knowledgeable than I was/am about this! I just ran into this today and want to make sure it's not overlooked because we have found some ways to get passed the error.

I'm actually getting this error over at luckasRanarison/nvim-devdocs#78 and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the -D output fixes mentioned in this thread. The -D output seems to be writing just fine to my default XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, which is /run/user/1000/ and exists and is writeable for my user already. Changing my XDG_RUNTIME_DIR results in the -D output getting written to the new dir, also seemingly successfully, but I still get the error 23 when trying to run any commands in nvim-devdocs that invoke plenary.curl's get. It's specifically with the urls "https://devdocs.io/docs.json" and its current redirect "https://devdocs.io/assets/docs-a3fb1903db449c5e84dea94359b6be804abd505005baeccb160ed01af2a75a55.json", if I use a test url such as "https://postman-echo.com/get", then the download succeeds without error.

Try opening those URLs in browser. The URLs that are failing only show "forbidden", while the postman-echo link shows valid json. Is it possible that your error is being caused by curl receiving code 403 (forbidden) from devdocs.io?

[gabeklavans]

The URLs that are failing only show "forbidden",

They open fine for me, and both https://devdocs.io/docs.json and https://devdocs.io/assets/docs-a3fb1903db449c5e84dea94359b6be804abd505005baeccb160ed01af2a75a55.json download valid JSON in my browser. I should mention that running curl -L and wget on my command line myself with these links properly downloads the JSON. I don't think it's a problem with the URLs themselves.

To be more specific, I get a 302 and then a 200 from https://devdocs.io/docs.json

I guess it was just a problem on my end.
