Error thrown on opening simple documents : invalid 'group': 'lspconfig'"

[jdonaldson]

I started running into a problem after updating my nvim plugins. I started getting errors like this when I opened qmd files. Here's the output that shows up in the error message.

Error detected while processing BufReadPost Autocommands for "*":

I'm using Lunarvim/Neovim:

:version
NVIM v0.10.4
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1736781742
Run ":verbose version" for more info

From what I can gather, it's an otter.nvim issue, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me where the problem was. I'm putting down some extended notes since I don't see anyone else running into the exact same problem. The problem will trigger even on simple qmd documents like this:

---
title: "simple example"
---

I can get it working by inserting a new line right before the frontmatter block:

---
title: "simple example"

Here's the relevant library versions I'm on:

See the set_filetype option in https://github.com/jmbuhr/otter.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#configure-otter
(I actually want to turn this exact error into a more informative note).

[jdonaldson]

I can confirm setting the set_filetype = false works for me, thanks!

I'll leave the issue open unless you already have a TODO for adding the note.

[jmbuhr]

I'm also considering to change the default to setting the filetype.
