Fennel files under ~/.config/nvim/plugin/* are not loaded automatically about hotpot.nvim HOT 3 CLOSED

Well, after looking at the PR https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/14686/files - this is probably impossible to handle in this plugin, as it requires changing how the neovim runtime command works, which is the one responsible for the loading from the folders above mentioned...

Yeah we can only hook lua's require path, so any plugin stuff cant be hooked.

Previously I posted this #41 but haven't personally tested it (probably fine though).

Not sure if there may bet an autocmd that could be hooked to act when RTP dirs are scanned, check for *.fnl files and load them.

You could hook VimEnter and manually search the whole rtp plugin/colors/etc folders and load the fennel files but I doubt that in particular would make it into Hotpot core as it's probably pretty expensive and would currently mean loading fennel if it found any files which is slow.

Probably the cache API should have a user function that creates a cache file for any given file. Right now you'd have to patch the lua package.path to include the non-standard dir the require normally.

All in all, having a lua "patch loader" is probably simplest.

Thank you very much for the detailed reply. Yes, the solution from #41 should do and seems the cleanest for now. I've personally used it from colors folder (https://github.com/alexaandru/froggy/blob/master/colors/froggy.lua) but it should work from wherever lua files are supported.

Gonna close this one,

Cheers!
