Micro doesn't see registered commands after reload

[dustdfg]

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

I try to develop a plugin and it is annoying to close and reopen micro to see the new behavior. I know about reload but it doesn't work for me. I have a registered command and I can call it and it works but after reload when I try to call it, micro tells me that Unknown command <...>. If I close and reopen micro after reload, everything works as expected

It is really strange especially because reload "reloads" at least colorschemes #3059

[JoeKar]

That happens because of InitCommands() at command.go#L348 which resets the registered commands to the builtin defaults.
Since reload is documented with...

reloads all runtime files.

...it would be plausible to reload the plugins too, but I think that...

• RunPluginFn("preinit")
• RunPluginFn("init")
• RunPluginFn("postinit")

...should already do the trick in the reload scenario, because I assume, that your custom plugin command is registered somewhere within these functions (via MakeCommand()). Right?

[dustdfg]

Yes via MakeCommand(). I also checked filemanager and linter (both custom user redefined and embedded version) plugins code. They have the same issue.

Your comment gave me association with AddRuntimeFile() function that isn't used in any plugins I mentioned above. So I have just tried to add the lua file as RTPlugin but it doesn't have any effect 😕
