Unable to use :read <url>, or open a file using nvim <url>

[Kranzes]

If i remember correctly opening/reading a file from a url requires netrw, which disabling it is currently impossible using the latest commits from master, the options that worked before to re-enable netrw no longer take effect.

[kyazdani42]

netrw should not be disabled if not setting setup.disable_netrw. It is by default, you might need to override that.

I was able to re-enable netrw with disable_netrw, but netrw still get hijacked on startup even when i set hijack_netrw to false.

[kyazdani42]

update_to_buf_dir = {
enable = true,
auto_open = true,
},
you can disable this feature if you wish to use netrw to navigate.

Am encountering the same issue

Same, the GBrowse command from fugitive no longer works.

@cristian-heredia you need to set disable_netrw to false in your config.
@Kranzes @dylanpjx can you share you config ? It should not hijack netrw if hijack_netrw and disable_netrw are false

[dylanpjx]

My initial config:

require'nvim-tree'.setup {
  disable_netrw = false,
  hijack_netrw = false
}

Adding

  update_to_buf_dir   = {
    enable = false,
    auto_open = false,
  },

fixed the issue as per your previous comment.

I encountered the issue when I ran nvim dir.

[kyazdani42]

update to buf dir will now be disabled if netrw is not at least hijacked :)

@kyazdani42 thanks for the suggestion, I'm getting the same error
