[BUG] dashboard plugin not working maybe due to `vimEnter` event.

Plugin	dashborad

• [x] I have read the FAQ and my bug is not listed there.

Description

The issue is when dashboard is enabled it doesn't run on vim enter which therefore shows the default Neovim. Dashborad includes a guide on how to do this here

Minimal, Reproducible Example (MRE)

{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  programs.nixvim = {
    enable = true;
    colorschemes.catppuccin.enable = true;
    plugins = {
      nvim-autopairs.enable = true;
      luasnip.enable = true;
      treesitter.enable = true;

      trouble.enable = true;
      bufferline.enable = true;
      dashboard = {
        enable = true;
        center = [
          {
            desc = "Find project";
            icon = "📁";
            action = "Telescope find_files";
          }
          {
            desc = "Configuration";
            icon = "⚙️";
            action = "Telescope find_files ";
          }
        ];
        hideStatusline = true;
        hideTabline = true;
      };

      auto-save = {
        enable = true;
        enableAutoSave = true;

  vim.api.nvim_exec([[

      autocmd!
      autocmd VimEnter * Dashboard
    augroup END
  ]], false)
'';
  };
}

I see that we recently refactored this module in https://github.com/nix-community/nixvim/pull/1590 so double checking if you are still seeing this behavior? I was able to get it to work with just this config:

{
  plugins.dashboard = {
    enable = true;
    center = [
      {
        desc = "Find project";
        icon = "📁";
        action = "Telescope find_files";
      }
      {
        desc = "Configuration";
        icon = "⚙️";
        action = "Telescope find_files ";
      }
    ];
    hideStatusline = true;
    hideTabline = true;
  };
}
