Unable to import plugins from its subfolders

[ghost]

Intro

Hi @asyncedd, I @Swayam25 a full-stack developer. I was previously using vscode then I switched to neovim it's just because I have a pc with Ubuntu v23.04, 2GB ram, 500 GB HDD. Intel Pentium G2030 processor. I coded all my projects on this pc via vscode. Just before some months I got to know about vim. Yeah I am too using lazy.nvim. I had installed LazyVim but it wasn't too customizable for me and they also gave some plugins which I don't need just It slows down neovim after some research I found out your repo and I customized some of your codes to meet my need and changed the plugins folder structure, but now Im getting this error.

The Issue

What I got to know from this

When I do import = "plugins.ui" it works but when I do multi import import = {} it sucks.

Steps To Reproduce

Run nvim

Expected Behavior

It should load all the plugins with its subfolders

Hey, Nice to meet you! I'd love it if you provide your dotfiles so, I can test it locally. But anyways, thanks for the (large) amount of info!

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure that lazy.nvim assumes that anything inside a import (e.g import = "x") is a string. So, lazy won't loop inside the array to import it. (I assume)

Anyways, try replacing your lua/plugins/init.lua with this:

-- Vim.fn.stdpath("data") is in Linux systems: ~/.local/nvim
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"

-- If it's not found - indicating that it's not found - Git clone it (~)_(~)
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  -- Show a lovely message indicating that we're boostrapping lazy :)
  print(" Bootstrapping lazy.nvim!")

  --  lazy.nvim recommends to use vim.fn.system but, via `vim.cmd("!...")` we can know the progress ;)
  vim.cmd("!git clone --filter=blob:none https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git --branch=stable " .. lazypath)
  print(" Done!")
end

-- Add it to RTP. So, we can require it later on
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

-- Import plugins from `lua/plugins`
require("lazy").setup(
  {
    { import = "plugins.ui" },
    { import = "plugins.code" },
    { import = "plugins.langs" },
    { import = "plugins.version_control" },
  },
  {
    defaults = {
      -- Lazy-load by default
      lazy = true,
      -- Use the latest version of the plugin (screw semantic versioning)
      version = false,
    },
    install = {
      -- Install missing plugins.
      missing = true,
      colorscheme = {
        -- These are a list of plugins to load when installing a plugin
        -- It's listed on order. catppuccin -> habamax
        "catppuccin",
        "habamax",
      },
    },
    performance = {
      rtp = {
        disabled_plugins = {
          -- I can disable more plugins such as `rplugin` and `netrw`, it'll decrease functionality.
          "gzip",
          "tarPlugin",
          "tohtml",
          "zipPlugin",
          "matchit",
          "matchparen",
          "netrwPlugin",
          "rplugin",
          "nvim",
          "tutor",
          -- "spellfile",
        },
      },
    },
  }
)

Try and test this.

The things I changed is:

• Put every import inside an array
• Put inside the plugin specs array

Let me know if it works!

[ghost]

A heartfelt thanks to you! Yeah, It worked!

[asyncedd]

I'm glad it worked! I'll go ahead and close this issue for now. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

[ghost]

Do you have any discord id so that I can talk with you personally?

[asyncedd]

Yeah! async#8467
