Bug: nvim-tree does not respects the call functions when opening nvim `nvim .`

[theSafdarAwan]

Description

maybe this is not big issue for some one but i like to have ColorColumn enabled when i am writing code so that when i exceed 81 characters of code in one line it will show me a boundry but somehow nvim-trre does not respects that.

This is my config for the colorcolumn.

vim.cmd([[
    call matchadd('ColorColumn', '\%80v') 
    " this will use the Color defined in you theme for the ColorColumn
]])

this will only work when a line exceeds 81 characters of code on one line you can use the set colorcolumn if you want but the problem remains even after setting the normal option of set colorcolumn.

NOTE: This is only issue with the nvim-tree when i open it using the nvim ..

Neovim version

NVIM v0.8.0-dev-1112-g6d557e324
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Operating system and version

5.17.15-1-MANJARO x86_64 GNU/Linux

nvim-tree version

52b0c32

Minimal config

require("nvim-tree").setup({
	auto_reload_on_write = true,
)}

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to any code directory
2. start nvim using nvim . to start it in the current directory so that nvim-tree starts up.

Expected behavior

Do not change the colorcolumn behavior

Actual behavior

Nop

FYI auto_reload_on_write = true is not normally required; nvim-tree watches the file system and refreshes its state automatically. That option should be removed at some poin, unless there is a workflow that we are unaware of.

auto_reload_on_write

but what about the real question i asked

[alex-courtis]

I do not appear to understand the issue.

Attempted replication with
nvt-min.lua.txt

Please attempt to replicate using the above minimal config.

[theSafdarAwan]

sir i said that you have to use nvim . do not open file immediately just let the nvim-tree hijack and by the way netrw should be disabled or maybe not at this point i am not on my computer so can't tell but you have to have the nvim-tree as a default file explorer when you open the nvim using a directory as an argument rather than a file. then if you had enabled colorcolumn it wont work.

[alex-courtis]

sir i said that you have to use nvim .

Please watch the screencast carefully. The . is the last argument.

just let the nvim-tree hijack and by the way netrw should be disabled

That was not present in your minimal configuration.

[alex-courtis]

We are making no progress:

• I do not understand the issue
• I cannot replicate the issue
• I do not know your configuration

Please provide:

• An nvt-min.lua as instructed in the bug report that I may use to replicate the issue
• Exact steps to replicate the issue.
• Current behaviour
• Desired behaviour

A screencast to accompany the above is useful.

This issue will be addressed again only after the above have been provided.
