How to run nvim +UpdateRemotePlugins during build time

[sktrinh12]

Hi Nico,

Its Spencer, perhaps its better to communicate on this. I installed Shuogo/deoplete autocompletion plugin, ipython-cell REPL plugin and ripgrep for fzf plugin. It builds however the plugins won't work unless I type in :UpdateRemotePlugins when I enter the containerized nvim instance. Is there a way to do this in the Dockerfile? I tried putting it in the entrypoint.sh and it seems to work however, it takes a long time to open nvim (because it has to update all the plugins). I tried putting this in the Dockerfile:

RUN set -x && \
    su-exec neovim nvim +PlugInstall +qall && \
    su-exec neovim nvim +PlugUpdate +qall && \
    su-exec neovim nvim +UpdateRemotePlugins +qall \

However it gives me an error: ipython-cell requires py >= 2.7 or py3. I'm assuming it is not in the virtual environment which is python3; and using the default python 2.7.

Also, when I type :checkhealth I noticed there is a warning for the Clipboard. It would be nice to have this so I can copy paste to/from local clipboard. It says no clipboard tool found. I checked the help and it requires pbcopy or xclip/xcel. I put xclip in the RUN apk --update add \ section; however it still doesn't register. How can I sort these issues out? Appreciate the help.
