Suggestion: option to change the templates default dir

[yoplat]

I'm using a custom config of NvChad, so I can't use the standard path of lua/overseer as that would mess up the git repo, is there a way to specify a custom templates directory? In this case it would be lua/custom/overseer/templates as opposed to lua/overseer/template?
I tried reading the default config options and didn't find anything for this

If you need to store your templates in a different directory, you can always require them yourself and pass them in directly using register_template https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim/blob/master/doc/guides.md#custom-tasks

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, this is the file that I'm requiring:

return {
  name = "run script",
  builder = function()
    local file = vim.fn.expand "%:p"
    local cmd = { file }
    if vim.bo.filetype == "go" then
      cmd = { "go", "run", file }
    end
    return {
      cmd = cmd,
      components = {
        { "on_output_quickfix", set_diagnostics = true },
        "on_result_diagnostics",
        "default",
      },
    }
  end,
  condition = {
    filetype = { "sh", "python", "go" },
  },
}

And this is how I'm setting it up:

  {
    "stevearc/overseer.nvim",
    cmd = { "OverseerRun", "OverseerToggle" },
    config = function(_, opts)
      local overseer = require "overseer"
      overseer.setup(opts)
      overseer.register_template {
        require "custom.overseer.template.user.run_script",
      }
    end,
  },

But it complains that builder expected a function but return nil, but if I try to copy the contents of the file (without the return)
it works (filepath I'm sure it's right).
Any tips? I even tried enclosing the require in brackets but that gave an error where it wouldn't even find the name of the template so I don't think that's the way.

Try changing

      overseer.register_template {
        require "custom.overseer.template.user.run_script",
      }

to

      overseer.register_template(
        require "custom.overseer.template.user.run_script",
      )

Try changing

      overseer.register_template {
        require "custom.overseer.template.user.run_script",
      }

to

      overseer.register_template(
        require "custom.overseer.template.user.run_script",
      )

That worked thanks!
