Loading Telescope before "BufRead" won't work?

[monsonjeremy]

Hey, thanks so much for sharing your config on reddit and helping people optimize their loading times and startup.

I was setting my config up to lazy load like yours and ran into a weird edge case.

Based on the telescope.nvim README, it depends on plenary.nvim:

use {
  'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
  requires = { {'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'} }
}

In your config you don't seem to require plenary.nvim with Telescope. That means that until you have entered a buffer and BufRead has fired, you use Telescope or it will throw an error because plenary.nvim has not been loaded.

Is this a correct reading of your setup? In this case I think it just makes sense for my config to load plenary by default (since my workflow is usually just to open up nvim and then navigate via telescope before entering a buffer)

I think as you said with your workflow, it makes more sense to load plenary (and therefore telescope) by default.

My workflow is usual cd/ls'ing to the directory and opening a file in the project, then loading telescope in which case the lazy loading should work.

Thanks that makes sense. It's weird that Dashboard isn't considered a buffer, since I load dashboard on enter.

One last question if you don't mind! Do your LSP servers automatically become active when you open a file? I noticed that now that I lazy load my servers are setup but not active and I needed to add vim.cmd('bufdo e') at the end of my lsp setup file to get it to properly activate in the file.

Thanks so much for your help!

I was actually tinkering with that earlier. Sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesn't, I'm thinking of not lazy loading lsp altogether

Awesome! My solution seems to work well with the forced buffer reload. Thanks for your help!
