Reloading config with `:Fnlfile` or `:source` always look for macro file on current pwd about hotpot.nvim HOT 5 CLOSED

Can you try the source-cmd branch?

https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim/tree/source-cmd

It will ask you if you want to delete the cache file for now, I will have to patch a "no confirm" argument into that later.

It also makes some assumptions that what you're sourcing is under a "fnl" folder so we can guess the module name for the require call (needed so hotpot knows to do work).

The :Fnl* commands sort of operate outside of the main hotpot setup (they dont create cache files and wont patch the macro searcher (perhaps an oversight)) so I was probably over zealous when linking :source to :Fnlfile.

Just tested the branch and it seems to be working as expected.
Thank you very much!

Sorry took me a moment to put this in the main branch.

I know this is an issue from a long time ago, but for some reason source $MYVIMRC when changing macros.fnl for example doesn't trigger a recompile, but sourceing the file directly does. Is that known behavior?

Does :messages show anything?

but sourceing the file directly does

Do you mean :source some/fnl/file.fnl or :source ~/.config/nvim/init.lua (manually expanding the $ var)?

What is $MYVIMRCs value?

:source will "unload" the module by setting packages.loaded[modname] = nil but it wont go any deeper than that, and only if it can guess the mod name. So for $MYVIMRC it may not be able to guess the mod name as it looks for something under fnl/.

I would bet that the child modules are not getting unloaded, so they are never reloaded, so the changes are never picked up.

You may want to write a small function that just nukes anything under a certain module namespace to ensure all your config mods are unloaded:

;; may not be functional
;; assumes you have your config under "fnl/my/config/..."
(each [_i mod (ipairs package.loaded)]
  (if (string.match mod "^my.config")
    (tset package.loaded mod nil)))
(vim.cmd.source $MYVIMRC) ;; probably need vim.expand or something here for the var
