Aliases set by plugin cannot be executed from other plugins

[celclow]

It seems that aliases set by a plugin cannot be executed by other plugins. Since functions can be executed, I would expect aliases to be similarly executable.

plugins.toml

shell = "zsh"

[plugins]

[plugins.foo]
local = "~/foo"

[plugins.foo.hooks]
post = "aliastest ; functest"

[plugins.bar]
inline = "aliastest ; functest"

~/foo/foo.zsh

alias aliastest="echo aliastest"
functest() {echo "functest"}

Login log functest can be executed from hooks.post and other plugins, whereas aliastest cannot be executed.

I'm still investigating why this doesn't work properly, but you can work around it for now by doing the following:

Instead of this

eval "$(sheldon source)"

Use

source <(sheldon source)

Thanks for the reply. The workaround you provided worked as expected. I appreciate your help.
