What is the effect of this?

miraclemore commented 6 years ago

Currently, there is no side effect on my local. But if I according to the documents to configure my layers, it will caused the dependency problems. And if the actual order is that, we need to update documentation for new spacemacs users. @CeleritasCelery

CeleritasCelery commented 6 years ago

How do you know they are being loaded in that order?

miraclemore commented 6 years ago

@CeleritasCelery from the Message buffer. As you can see,

Loading /Users/chuck/.spacemacs.d/layers/miraclemore/packages.el (source)...done
Loading /Users/chuck/.spacemacs.d/layers/miraclemore/layers.el (source)...
Loading /Users/chuck/.spacemacs.d/layers/miraclemore-ui/packages.el (source)...done
Loading /Users/chuck/.spacemacs.d/layers/miraclemore/layers.el (source)...done

packages.el done is shown before layers.el done

And also I define a global variable x, setq-default x to 1 on layers.el setq-default x to 2 on packages.el when Emacs startup, C-h v to show that the value of x is 1. It means that the value of x is override by layers.el

Due to I am new to elisp programming language, if I am wrong, please feel free to correct me. thx!
