Error in set_editor_opts in LightspeedLeave autocommand

[Gelio]

Hey! Thanks for this great plugin!

Today after updating my neovim build to the latest nightly (neovim/neovim@6d52a29), I started seeing errors originating from the set_editor_opts function executed by the LightspeedLeave autocommand.

Error detected while processing User Autocommands for "LightspeedLeave":
Error executing lua callback: ...ite/pack/packer/start/lightspeed.nvim/lua/lightspeed.lua:2764: E487: Argument must be positive
stack traceback:

        ...m/site/pack/packer/start/lightspeed.nvim/plugin/init.lua:3: in function <...m/site/pack/packer/start/lightspeed.nvim/plugin/init
.lua:3>

The line that fails is

lightspeed.nvim/lua/lightspeed.lua

Line 2762 in 8fb5ebb

_G.vim[scope][name] = val

. The line number does not match because I added some print statements to debug it.

Investigation

I added a print to see which option cannot be set.

    print({ scope = scope, name = name, val = val })

It turns out, this code tries to set vim.wo.scrolloff = -1, which fails with that error.

{
  name = "scrolloff",
  scope = "wo",
  val = -1
}

I checked the results of the following neovim commands:

:lua print(vim.wo.scrolloff)
0

:echo &scrolloff
0

:echo &l:scrolloff
-1

:setlocal scrolloff?
-1

I believe the result of &l:scrolloff may be a problem. After all, this is the value that is requested in

lightspeed.nvim/lua/lightspeed.lua

Lines 2741 to 2742 in 8fb5ebb

	if (opt == "vim.wo.scrolloff") then
	_532_ = api.nvim_eval("&l:scrolloff")

Possibly related to neovim/neovim#18743

Possible solution

If &l:scrolloff is -1, then looks like setlocal scrolloff is not set, so there is no need to restore it, unless I am mistaken.

Thanks for the thorough report! I had no mental energy to further investigate and really grok what causes this issue, but it seems we don't need that offending part in the code anymore (neovim/neovim#13964), so I just inserted a conditional check as a temporary fix.

Let's keep this open for a while for discoverability.

FYI, this is due to a regression in core which I'm planning to fix with neovim/neovim#19041

Testing is welcomed 😄
