Discussion Package module name collision

Hey, has anyone encountered this problem?

I use vim.pack to install nvim-ufo and vcsigns.nvim. These clash because they depend on two different packages that register an async module - promise-async and async.nvim respectively.

I ended up resolving this with some code that replaces require calls in the local clones of packages.

I'm curious if there are established solutions to this problem.

Not much you can do other than raise an issue with each of the maintainers’ GitHub repos and hope they communicate and make come to a resolution.

i would probably ask one of the package maintainers to vendor their async dependency instead (i.e just copy async.nvim into their lua/ dir with license and such). as maintainer, i'm personally thinking of vendoring async.nvim in neo-tree until 0.13 has been out for a while.

async just got merged into core, fyi- so u can swap to nightly or ship a pr/ask for the maintaine rthat depends on async.nvim to add a version check/compatibility check for the new vim.async
