bug: cache lookup fails for modules under symlinked directories

[swsnr]

Following up on #220, I think cache lookup fails for modules under symlinked directories.

---

Anyway, I've just being doing env XDG_CONFIG_HOME=pwd nvim, and it indeed fixed the issue. It also works, if I copy the nvim/lua/swsnr to ~/.config/nvim/lua/swsnr.

However, my install script uses symlinks instead, i.e. symlinks the nvim/lua/swsnr subdirectory to ~/.config/nvim/lua/swsnr.

And when I do that, things start to fall apart, and I see the above error message again, and a bit of print debugging indicates, that lazy fails to find my swsnr.plugins modules in its cache.

So I tend to believe that there's some path normalization going wrong in lazy.

Fixed! :)

😲 🎉 ❤️ You're… fast 😅 👏🏿

Thanks a lot for your help and your support, and for lazy itself!

@folke Hi, I think I have a somewhat similar issue as this one. I tried debugging on my own but I cant seem to find the issue. So, basically I was switching from Packer, but I'm stuck where even my modules aren't being loaded and the only plugin being loaded is Lazy. One of the prevalent error being:

Error detected while processing /home/dev/.local/share/anonvim/avim/init.lua:
E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: /home/dev/.local/share/anonvim/avim/init.lua:15: module 'avim.autocmds' not found:

I think It's a runtime path thing but I cant seem to figure out how or why as it was working OK with Packer. Here is my config, I use a custom path like Lunarvim since I was trying to make my own IDE layer.

Sorry in advance if it's something stupid I missed. I didn't open an issue as this looked almost similar.

@AnoRebel you're changing the rtp so you should disable reset rtp for lazy or your changes won't survive

But I think I added most of my custom paths to the rtp lazy options. Does that not help.? I didn't disable reset since you commented it as improving startuptime.

[folke]

I have no idea, but that is likely your issue. I'm not going to debug everyone's configs. That's for you

[AnoRebel]

Okay, I will try and see if it fixes it. Thanks. Ohw, I understand, that wasn't my intention.

PS: Was finally able to get it to work. It seems I wasn't passing the correct base_dir for my config. A stupid mistake, i know. Also, I didn't need to set the runtime path to false, I just added my paths and let it reset and it works now. Thanks again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
