nvim-reload VS nvim

Briefly experimented with https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload, but had some troubles configuring it

Read nvim-reload source code for reference.

I stumbled upon nvim-reload but telescope also wasn't found after :Restart

You can use this - https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload - to reload your configuration. Then it's possible to PackerSync without restart.

I haven't used reload.lua from plenary, so I don't have advice there. If you don't mind that it isn't maintained, I use this for reloading my config without restarting nvim and it has worked just fine: https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload

I use this plugin: https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload

I'm using a modded version of /u/_Famiu_ old nvim-reload which was unfortunately archived.

I'm trying to write a helper function that fully reloads nvim without the need of closing and reopening it, using as a base the now unmaintained nvim-reload with has some good info on the matter on it's source code

I think I tried https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload before but it was so long ago, and didn't work well that I don't even remember

Thank you for the insight, this is pretty much what famiu/nvim-reload does.

Here's mine: https://github.com/mawkler/nvim

I have quite a large config split over many files. Here's my init.lua.

Here's a link to my config.

How does this detect that it should be triggered? I have a lot of packer configuration tables moved to their own file like this:

Has anyone else had a similar issue? I can't reproduce the issue with a minimal telescope-only config, so there's likely some issue with my config. Since it happens sporadically it's very difficult to debug, so I figured I'd start by scouting the subreddit.

Link to my current config if anyone's curious.

ful1e5/onedark.nvim is completely written in Lua which means it loads way faster. It also supports Treesitter which provides way better syntax highlighting, which dick/onedark.vim doesn't. Lastly, my favourite feature is that it allows you to override/create highlight group configs and pass to the plugin before loading the colorscheme which makes customizing highlight groups super easy (and I would guess faster as well?) compared to calling highlight a bunch of times in your config. Here's What my configuration of it looks like if you're curious.

Here's my dressing.nvim config file if that's of any help.

Here's my config.
