Question

Plugin causes Packer to try to remove all plugins on sync,update etc.

akinsho opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

just an FYI we've seen a few issues trickle in over time of users having packer try to remove all their plugins on packer management commands like sync, update etc. These have historically been narrowed down to this plugin.

The most recent example that reminded me to actually open this issue is wbthomason/packer.nvim#625, wbthomason/packer.nvim#546 (comment) (there are a few others, but I forget which exactly).

I'm not sure if this plugin is still maintained, if it isn't, I think add a warning about this issue would really help out in packer land and if it is, it seems to need to be updated to keep up with packer changes.

Thanks 🙏🏿

Thanks for having a look 👍🏿 will try it out later to check. Looking through the code a little the plugin is dependent on packer internals to list the installed plugins which could change in the future whereas there is now an exposed way to get the list of managed packer plugins i.e. _G.packer_plugins 🤷🏿‍♂️ more of an FYI, but I don't think this is being actively developed maybe.
