Slow startup

[rgnkn]

First of all, thank you for this fantastic plugin.

I just want to mention that I found out that telescope-project.nvim dramatically slows down my startup time. I use packer for plugin configuration and my local figures are as follows:

vim --startuptime with telescope-project.nvim: ~ 255ms vim --startuptime without telescope-project.nvim (simply commented out): ~ 95ms

Is there any way to reduce startup time? Is this a bug? Does anyone else see this behaviour?

This is somewhat okay for me, but as I guess that this relates to reading of the project cache file, could this be enhanced (maybe async if not already)?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

[EDIT] Some details on my system:

• Figures are from Ubuntu 21.10 but similar figures on Manjaro
• vim => NVIM v0.7.0-dev
• 76 plugins (of which 1 is optional)
• 3 directories as local base_dirs (all in ~):
  • 2 * max_depth = 4
  • 1 * max_depth = 5

@rgnkn, you can add keys and after prop in packer to lazy load this.

For me lazyloading with after or keys doesn't work since you have to load the extension in telescope config:

require'telescope'.load_extension('project')

If only I could open projects using something like :Telescope projects since my packer is configured thusly:

{
	"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
	config = [[require("plugins.setup.telescope")]],
	requires = {
		{
			"nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim",
			run = "make",
		},
		{ "nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim" },
		{ "nvim-telescope/telescope-ui-select.nvim" },
	},
	cmd = "Telescope",
},

hihi, i don't use packer,

but this is what i did

:lua require'telescope'.extensions.project.project{}

instead of

:Telescope project

Working lazy cfg:

  "nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim",
  dependencies = { "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim", "nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim" },
  event = "VeryLazy",
  keys = {
    {
      "<leader>fp",
      function() require("telescope").extensions.project.project {} end,
      desc = "Projects",
    },
  },
}

Don't forget to load_extension
