Neovim version (nvim -v)

NVIM v0.10.1

Operating system/version

Describe the bug

After commit https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim/commit/c02268ac6e6aab92249d020d75efc588bd9d24fa, when launching neovim I get the following error messages:

Error detected while processing /home/user/.dot/nvim/init.lua:
Invalid spec module: `plugins`
Expected a `table` of specs, but a `nil` was returned instead

I've been using the plugin spec directory as per https://lazy.folke.io/usage/structuring for quite some time now and my skeleton looks like this:

├── init.lua
├── lazy-lock.json
├── lua
│   ├── keymaps.lua
│   ├── options.lua
│   ├── plugins.lua
│   ├── plugins
│   │   ├── colors.lua
│   │   ├── completion.lua
│   │   ├── dap.lua
│   │   ├── editing.lua
│   │   ├── git.lua
│   │   ├── init.lua
│   │   ├── lisp.lua
...

with init.lua being this:

local modules = {
  "options",
  "plugins",
  "keymaps",
}

for _, m in ipairs(modules) do
  require(m)
end

lua/plugins.lua being this:

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "--filter=blob:none",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
    "--branch=stable", -- latest stable release
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

require("lazy").setup("plugins")

lua/plugins/init.lua being this:

return {}

and every other lua file in the lua/plugins directory returns a regular plugin spec

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create structure described above
2. Update lazy.nvim to commit c02268ac6e6aab92249d020d75efc588bd9d24fa or later

Expected Behavior

To not show the error messages described above

Repro

No response

this is not a regression but a problem with your config which just didn't matter until then

the problem here is that the modules lua/plugins.lua and lua/plugins/init.lua are exactly the same for lua (e.g. u access themrequire"plugins"). You should just rename lua/plugins.lua to something else (or move it's code to init.lua)

[agorgl]

Problem solved by solving the aforementioned ambiguity. I removed lua/plugins/init.lua and changed the lua/plugins.lua to this:

if vim.g.lazy_did_setup then
  return {}
end

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "--filter=blob:none",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
    "--branch=stable", -- latest stable release
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

require("lazy").setup("plugins")
