Fix :checkhealth to call vim.health

[dfendr]

Changed health check function to work properly, modelled after documentation here: https://neovim.io/doc/user/pi_health.html#health-dev.

Possible solution to attempt to index global 'health' (a nil value)

I think this really needs to be merged! Was really confused by the errors I was getting after updating.

I tested this out in WSL / neovim 9 and this did fix the checkhealth issue.

@ekickx is there any option that this gets merged? otherwise theres no way this works on neovim 0.9.x

Feel free to use my fork in the meantime if you don't want to change the code yourself, the author hasn't responded in awhile. https://github.com/postfen/clipboard-image.nvim

Otherwise, you can edit the health.lua file in the following ways.

Remove line 3,

local health = require "health"

and change these lines (51-57)

 health.report_start "Checking dependencies"
  if is_dep_exist then
    health.report_ok(report_msg)
  else
    health.report_error(report_msg)
  end
end

to this:

  vim.health.start("Checking dependencies")
  if is_dep_exist then
    vim.health.ok(report_msg)
  else
    vim.health.error(report_msg)
  end
end

@postfen thanks, i am currently using your fork :)

[JeffLabonte]

I am using @postfen fork as well. His changes fixed the issue with the addon plugin

[JeffLabonte]

@ekickx 😄 it would be nice if you reviewed this. It is blocking a lot of us from using your code 😢

[tan-wei]

Hmm, @postfen 's fork works well.

[Drew-Daniels]

Using @dfendr 's fork as well 👍🏻

You can also achieve this using git apply with the following steps:

1. Locate the Plugin Directory: First, you’ll need to find where the plugin code is located. You could try this command: fd --type=directory -H clipboard-image ~.

2. Navigate to the directory: Once you’ve identified the correct path, change to that directory. For instance, mine end up being: $HOME/.local/share/nvim/lazy/clipboard-image.nvim.

3. Download and Check the Diff: To see if the patch is applicable, you can download the diff file and verify it with the following command:

   curl -L https://github.com/ekickx/clipboard-image.nvim/pull/48.diff | git apply --check -

4. Apply the Patch: If the check does not return any errors, you’re all set to apply the patch.

   curl -L https://github.com/ekickx/clipboard-image.nvim/pull/48.diff | git apply -

The -L option in the curl command allows you to follow any redirects from GitHub.
