Question

Hello!

I can't get the 'hooks' part of mini.deps working. The LuaSnip plugin is installed with the correct version, but the hook seemingly never executes. There's nothing in :messages (and jsregexp is not installed).

If I navigate to the plugin directory and run the make command manually, it works.

What am I doing wrong?

now(function()
  add {
    source = 'L3MON4D3/LuaSnip',
    checkout = 'v2.3.0',
    hooks = {
      post_checkout = function(spec)
        print('spec.path: ' .. spec.path)
        vim.fn.system({'make', 'install_jsregexp'}, {cwd = spec.path})
      end }
  }
end)

The post_checkout hook is executed after making change to an existing plugin, i.e. after downloading update or switching to different commit/branch/tag locally.

What you probably experience is that it doesn't trigger on the initial install. There is post_install hook for that. Try adding the same function in the post_install hook. If the hook itself executes but throws an error (although I don't think it should in this particular case), try executing the same function inside later().
