Thank you for the report. This is because the vfox-clang plugin uses pixi for installation, and it's an error from the current pixi, which should be fixed soon in the next version.
prefix-dev/pixi#1685

@yanecc thanks! BTW, is there any temporary solutions to get pass the problem or just wait for the next version of the clang plugin?

[yanecc]

The vfox-clang plugin is expected to resume working when the next pixi release is available, so it may not be updated. As for the temporary solution, of course, that is to use the working version of pixi. You can modify the lib/util.lua file in the vfox-clang plugin directory and change the following line

https://github.com/version-fox/vfox-clang/blob/0223d250fd59061ce9ec1752d69de40eea894191/lib/util.lua#L99

to: file = releaseURL .. "download/v0.25.0/" .. file. Then it can work now.

file = releaseURL .. "download/v0.25.0/" .. file works fine, thanks a lot.
