Provide a minimal init.vim/vimrc with less than 50 lines (Required!)

" Your minimal init.vim/vimrc

N/A. I cloned the repo into my Vim package directory and opened Neovim with nvim -u NORC

The reproduce ways from neovim/Vim starting (Required!)

1. Open nvim with nvim -u NORC
2. Type :Defx

Screen shot (if possible)

[pappasam]

Never mind, this appears to be a broader issue with the latest Neovim nightly release.

[Shougo]

OK.

[lukas-reineke]

@pappasam is there an issue for this in Neovim? I have the same problem, but I can't find anything in the Neovim repo

[pappasam]

This is as close as I've found: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/15632

Current workaround: packadd defx and its related plugins in your vimrc. This adds them to your runtime path before your vimrc finishes.

[Shougo]

Reproduced.

[Shougo]

This is plugin's fault instead of Vim/neovim bugs.

[Shougo]

Fixed.
