Problems for using api.make to build ~/.config/nvim/init.fnl about hotpot.nvim HOT 5 CLOSED

I just updated hotpot, the cookbook part of init.fnl creation is nicely to work.

from hotpot.nvim.

Sorry I left out the final instruction.

You have to run the run the autocommand once to bootstrap your init.fnl file into init.lua.

Open ~/.config/nvim/init.fnl, run the command :Fnlfile % to execute the fennel code, then :w to save the file, which should then execute the autocommand and generate a init.lua file.

You should then be able to quit nvim and restart it, and it should work (optionally check init.lua to ensure your compilation worked).

Note this: $XDG_DATA_HOME/nvim/site/pack/hotpot/start/hotpot.nvim should probably be $XDG_DATA_HOME/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/hotpot/start/hotpot.nvim incase you have issues running :Fnlfile.

I followed the instruction for running :FnlFile % and :w, restart neovim still not working, and not init.lua compiled.
My XDG_DATA_HOME is set to ~/.local/share.

Can you confirm your fnl file is at ~/.config/nvim/init.fnl? What does ~/.config/nvim/init.lua contain? What is your nvim version?

Also what operating system are you using? It's possible the libUV file watcher is not compatible (but that seems unlikely).

Also you may want to set verbosity 1 in build-init so you get some output when the compiler runs.

I can confirm that fnl file is ~/.config/nvim/init.fnl. Actually the ~/.config/nvim/init.lua not generate after run the command :Fnlfile %. My neovim is 0.9.0, but 0.9.1 also have this issue.
And I set verbosity to 1 and save init.fnl, restart neovim, redo reproduce part, still not generate init.lua
