Any colored hydra fails due to authentication error.

Might be neovim regression and/or breaking change, see https://neovim.io/doc/user/news.html:

LUA
API functions now consistently return an empty dictionary as [vim.empty_dict()](https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua.html#vim.empty_dict()). Earlier, a [lua-special-tbl](https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua.html#lua-special-tbl) was sometimes used.

$ nvim --version
NVIM v0.11.0-dev-789+g0ba388847
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.1724512491
Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info

Minimal reproduction inspired by gitsigns bug tracker:

for name, url in pairs{
  hydralink = 'https://github.com/nvimtools/hydra.nvim',
} do
  local install_path = vim.fn.fnamemodify('hydra_issue/'..name, ':p')
  if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
    vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', url, install_path }
  end
  vim.opt.runtimepath:append(install_path)
end

local Hydra = require('hydra')

-- ADD INIT.LUA SETTINGS THAT IS _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE

Hydra {
  name = 'Side scroll',
  config = {
    color = 'pink', -- without color pink it works
    -- invoke_on_body = true, -- does not matter if inside or not.
  },
  mode = 'n',
  body = 'z',
  heads = {
    { 'h', '5zh' },
    { 'l', '5zl', { desc = '←/→' } },
    { 'H', 'zH' },
    { 'L', 'zL', { desc = 'half screen ←/→' } },
  },
}

Please provide the version of neovim you are running.

This smells like nightly, in which case, see #47 for details on why we aren't addressing these issues yet.

[matu3ba]

I have edited the issue text to include the version information and yes, that is on nightly.

[miversen33]

Thanks :) Ya for the time being we are not addressing nightly issues. At least not until the vim.table work is stabilized.

[Ajaymamtora]

Is there a workaround for this? I want to use the nightly but can't because of this issue

[miversen33]

I haven't looked at nightly in a bit, but unfortunately the answer currently is "don't use nightly" or "don't use hydra".

We will not be maintaining multiple branches of this plugin, so until vim.table stabilizes (something that probably wont happen until the next stable release), IMO we are best off just waiting.

Hey sorry for being super late, but you can use my fork for the time being, if I don't forget I'll make a breaking change commit when 0.11 releases that reminds you to switch back to the original repo instead.
just change the nvimtools/hydra.nvim to cathyprime/hydra.nvim for the time being
