Unable to use commit command in VimR

[michael-ball]

Description

I am unable to commit anything when using VimR.

Neovim version

VimR v0.44.0-20230103.174333
neovim 0.8.2

Operating system and version

macos 12.3

Steps to reproduce

1. Make a change to a file in a git repository
2. Stage the file
3. Use the neogit 'commit' command to try to commit the change

Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

The following error is shown:

git --no-pager -c color.ui=always --no-optional-locks commit
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... error: '/Applications/VimR.app/Contents/Resources/NvimView_NvimView.bundle/Contents/Resources/NvimServer' --headless --clean --noplugin -n -R -c 'set runtimepath^=/<user dir redacted>/.local/share/nvim/plugged/neogit' -c 'lua require("neogit.client").client()' died of signal 11

Process exited with code: 1

Minimal config

vim.cmd([[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]])
vim.cmd([[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]])
local package_root = "/tmp/nvim/site/pack"
local install_path = package_root .. "/packer/start/packer.nvim"
local function load_plugins()
  require("packer").startup({
    {
      "wbthomason/packer.nvim",
      {
        "TimUntersberger/neogit",
        requires = {
          { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim" },
          { "sindrets/diffview.nvim" },
        },
        config = function()
          print("loaded neogit")
          require("neogit").setup()
        end,
      },
    },
    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = install_path .. "/plugin/packer_compiled.lua",
      display = { non_interactive = true },
    },
  })
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print("Installing neogit and dependencies.")
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--depth=1", "https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim", install_path })
end
load_plugins()
require("packer").sync()

Same issue here, am sure it used to work with VimR. Not sure if its a VimR problem or a neogit problem though...

I'm getting a similar or the same problem on Neovim on trying to commit

> git --no-pager -c color.ui=always --no-optional-locks commit
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... Error detected while processing command line:

I'm pretty sure that this isn't going to work with a vim GUI. The commit editor is a spawned process that the plugin talks to via RPC...
