Is sourcing expected to eventually arrive?

[oblitum]

I used to use init source with packer without issues, lazy.nvim doesn't support that. Will it? Or is that considered WontFix?

[EdenEast]

Can you define what you mean by init sourcing?

[oblitum]

Editing ~/.config/nvim/init.lua and then :source to load the changes. When attempting that, lazy.nvim throws a message stating sourcing isn't supported.

Re-sourcing can never 100% work correctly for all plugins and I'm very against that concept.
Lazy actively tries to prevent re-sourcing or running setup twice. You can look at the code to make that check fail so it will re-source anyway, but I'm not going to support that.

My config loads in 11ms, so I simply restart and reload my session whenever I need to. You can even make a simple keybinding to do that.

@sarmong there might be some issue with your lua-language-server setup? Because on my machine it loads quite fast. Still though, it's the kind of thing that kinda doesn't bother me much, the hard-coded inconvenience of having to live with restarting the editor for every minor change does.

[folke]

You can install new plugins without restarting, but can oly start using them after a restart.

[sarmong]

@oblitum , there might be, but I am yet to debug it.

[sarmong]

@folke , when I open :Lazy I don't see a plugin that I just added into setup function. I cannot install it

[folke]

Only plugins in a plugins module are detected. If you specify a table, then change detection can't work.

You could add that keybinding to Lazy -- X is still free in the Lazy UI :P

[folke]

X is clean ;)

[clason]

oops :D

If i quit and restart then i loose all the open buffers and so forth.

surely there's a way we can do something like :

// begin mouth-breathing-mouse-using-gutter-peasant pseudo code

on load: 
  if magical value isn't present
    continue utopian lazy plugin life
    store some magical value somewhere magically with magical fairy dust... magically.
  else
    announce that magical fairy dust was used and that folke wishes magical fairy dust was not a thing.
    continue with the rest of users utopian neovim life, living happily ever after happily ignoring folkes desires.

[folke]

just use one of the session management plugins like https://github.com/folke/persistence.nvim

I always get "cannot make changes, modifiable is off" whenever I load a new plugin. How can I fix that?

[EdenEast]

Reading the error is says .config/nvim/lua/options/init.lua:7: what is that line?

[oyinbra]

vim.o.fileencoding = 'utf-8'

Thank you. Problem solved. 💪🏾
