packadd cmd doesn't find packer even though it's in correct &packpath #1087

Closed craigmac closed 1 year ago

craigmac commented 1 year ago

Docs in README say:

To get started, first clone this repository to somewhere on your packpath

Steps to reproduce

cd ~/.config/nvim
mkdir -p pack/packer/{start,opt}
cd pack/packer/opt
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim packer.nvim
nvim -u NORC
:packadd <tab>

Even if you clone it to the pack/packer/start/ directory. I don't see it being read from the :scriptnames output.

Actual behaviour

Cannot :packadd when in pack//opt and cannot use any :Pack.. commands when cloned to pack//start as well.

Output of rtp:

/Users/cmaceach/.config/nvim,/etc/xdg/nvim,/Users/cmaceach/.config/local/share/nvim/site,/usr/local/share/nvim/site,/usr/share/nvim/site,/usr/local/share/nvim/runtime,/usr/local/lib/nvim,/usr/share/nvim/site/after,/usr/local/share/nvim/site/after,/Users/cmaceach/.config/local/share/nvim/site/after,/etc/xdg/nvim/after,/Users/cmaceach/.config/nvim/after

Expected behaviour

Load packer via typical :packadd packer.nvim and use it's commands
