Theme changes are not picked if the custom folder is symlinked

[dgmora]

This is related to some issues I was reporting in https://github.com/NvChad/base46/issues/173.

I'm not sure if this is a priority, but I just wanted to report that it happens. If the custom folder is a symlink, changes are not picked.

mkdir test/custom

Add chadrc.lua to that folder:

local M = {}

M.ui =  {
  theme = "solarized_dark",
  hl_override = {
    CursorLine = {
       bg = "blue",
       fg = "green",
    },
  },
}

M.mappings = {}

return M

Using this dockerfile:

FROM alpine:latest
WORKDIR /root
RUN apk  add git nodejs neovim ripgrep build-base bash --update
RUN git clone https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad ~/.config/nvim
CMD bash

Build the image

docker build -t nvchad .

This works (copying config to the right place), theme and highlight change live.

docker run -ti --rm -v $PWD/test/custom:/root/test/custom nvchad
# inside
cp -r /root/test/custom /root/.config/nvim/lua/custom
nvim ~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/chadrc.lua
# edit CursorLine colors change real time
exit docker

This doesn't (symlink), changes in the file don't seem to be picked, even after exiting.

docker run -ti --rm -v $PWD/test/custom:/root/test/custom nvchad
# inside
ln -s /root/test/custom /root/.config/nvim/lua/custom
nvim ~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/chadrc.lua
# edit CursorLine colors doesn't change anything, even after re-entering nvim.

[dgmora]

No, everything loads fine but the colors specified aren't really right
