It seems to be that `dotfiles = true` stopped working

Description

It seems to be that dotfiles = true stopped working. Here is what I have in my init.lua:

     use {
         'kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua',
         requires = {
             'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'
         }
     }

     require 'nvim-web-devicons'.setup {
         default = true;
     }
     require("nvim-tree").setup({
         filters = {
             dotfiles = true,
         },
         actions = {
             open_file = {
                 resize_window = true
             }
         }
     })

     vim.o.splitright = true;

When I try it with the minimal nvt-min.lua file, it works, but with my huge init.lua, it does not.

Please help :-)
