vim.validate in its spec form is deprecated.
This fixes it.

Many thanks for finding and fixing this. We would need to provide a backwards compatible shim for the minimum supported nvim version 0.9.

However, I reckon we should just remove this validate completely:

  • This one and only one use was from a time when we were heavily experimenting with legacy options and we didn't have LSP / type checking / CI.
  • We have proper luadoc type annotations now

Sounds good. Yeah, I didn't know it wasn't available on older versions 👍🏻

What about adding an nvim-version check? I.e. something like this

  local safe_validate = function(arr)
    if vim.fn.has("nvim-0.9") == 1 then
      for key, args in pairs(arr) do
        vim.validate(key, unpack(args))
      end
    else
      vim.validate(arr)
    end
  end
  local ok, err = pcall(safe_validate, {
    src = { src, "table" },
    -- rest

Sorry, I mean just delete this whole check block that's not needed:
