Global options with lua not working if setup is run in the same file

[koopa1338]

I have a config file for every plugin and read the migration guide. It seems like if the global options even if set before the setup function is run are not applied. If I move the global options to my init.lua where I require the configuration file of nvim-tree it works just fine. here the contents I expect to work:

local map = require('utils').map
local tree = require('nvim-tree')
local g = vim.g

g.nvim_tree_git_hl = 1
g.nvim_tree_indent_markers = 1
g.nvim_tree_hide_dotfiles = 1
g.nvim_tree_show_icons = {
    git = 1,
    folders = 1,
    files = 1,
}
g.nvim_tree_ignore = {'.git', 'node_modules', '.cache'}
g.nvim_tree_icons = {
    git = {
        unstaged = '☒',
        staged = '☑',
        unmerged = '',
        untracked = '✸'
    }
}

map('n', '<C-n>', "<cmd>NvimTreeToggle<CR>", { silent = true })

local tree_cb = require('nvim-tree.config').nvim_tree_callback
tree.setup({
    disable_netrw       = true,
    open_on_setup       = false,
    ignore_ft_on_setup  = {'startify'},
    update_to_buf_dir   = {
        enable = true,
        auto_open = true,
    },
    auto_close          = true,
    open_on_tab         = false,
    hijack_cursor       = false,
    update_cwd          = true,
    lsp_diagnostics     = true,
    update_focused_file = {
        enable      = false,
        update_cwd  = false,
        ignore_list = {}
    },
    system_open = {
        cmd  = nil,
        args = {}
    },
    view = {
        width = 40,
        auto_resize = true,
        mappings = {
            custom_only = false,
            list = {
                { key = { "." }, cb = tree_cb('cd') },
                { key = { "c" }, cb = tree_cb('rename') },
                { key = { "y" }, cb = tree_cb('copy') },
                { key = { "gn" }, cb = tree_cb("next_git_item") },
                { key = { "gp" }, cb = tree_cb("prev_git_item") },
            }
        }
    }
})

I solved the issue. It seems like it is important when to require nvim-tree. If I require nvim-tree after setting the global options it works as expected, only executing the setup function after setting the global options is not sufficient.

indeed, some options are still loaded globally so if you require the plugin before setting up those variables it will not load properly. These will be ported shortly i hope :)
