Describe the question

How do I configure nvim such that when I am editing/configuring Yazi's lua script I can avoid all the warning and error message as is show below?

I have tried declaring .luarc.json:

{
    "diagnostics.globals": [
        "Url", "Cha", "File", "Icon", "Error", "Window",
        "ui", "cx", "rt", "th",
        "ya", "ps", "fs", "Command", "Child", "Output", "Status",
        "Origin", "Sendable", "Renderable", "AsPos", "AsSpan", "AsLine", "AsText", "AsColor"
    ],
    "runtime.version": "LuaJIT",
    "runtime.path": ["lua/?.lua", "lua/?/init.lua"],
    "telemetry.enable": false,
    "workspace.checkThirdParty": false,
    "workspace.library": ["$VIMRUNTIME"]
}

but there are still so many other warnings appearing. Is there a simpler solution for this problem then for me to manually key in all of yazi's global & function names? I there a standard .luarc.json file for working with yazi that I can use?

Also, how do I set up YAZI_LOG=debug yazi? I have tried removing it from init.lua and do :

$ export YAZI_LOG=debug yazi
$ echo $YAZI_LOG
debug

But the yazi is missing..

Anything else?

Just figured that YAZI_LOG=debug yazi is a command meant to be run in the terminal. Given that the command $export YAZI_LOG=debug was already issued, simply running the command yazi in the terminal is sufficient.

Can anyone advice me on my other question on how to use nvim to configure the lua files in yazi and its plugins and deal with the warning messages?

Thank you @sxyazi. After installing the plugin and using .luarc.json, I am still seeing a warning of an undefined-global and another warning on undefined-field that is related to ya:

Contents of the .luarc.json that i am using:

{
 "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuaLS/vscode-lua/master/setting/schema.json",
 "runtime.version": "Lua 5.4",
 "workspace.library": ["~/.config/yazi/plugins/types.yazi/"],
 "workspace.checkThirdParty": false,
 "telemetry.enable": false
}
