:Git <some_command> gives `<some_command> is not a valid function or action` about vim-fugitive HOT 4 CLOSED

I just started getting this same error, for any git command I try to run. For example if I run :Git status I get

Error executing Lua callback: ...cal/share/nvim/lazy/gitsigns.nvim/lua/gitsigns/async.lua:64: The coroutine failed with this message: ...ns/.local/share/nvim/lazy/gitsigns.nvim/lua/gitsigns.lua:406: status is

I've been using vim-fugitive for months, and don't know what changed recently.

I'm using nvim v0.9.4.

from vim-fugitive.

That error is from gitsigns.nvim. My guess would be that Fugitive isn't loaded at all, and when you call :Git, it's actually calling :Gitsigns.

Interesting. That is what's happening, but I don't understand why. I can see that the :Git command isn't defined, but :Gitsigns is:

:command Git
    Name              Args Address Complete    Definition
    Gitsigns          *    .       <Lua function> <Lua 660: ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/gitsigns.nvim/lua/gitsigns/async.lua:52>

What's weird though is I'm using the lazy.nvim package manager, and when I check package statuses, it shows that vim-fugitive is loaded. Yet somehow the :Git command isn't getting defined.

I seem to have fixed the problem by adding the lazy = false option for the vim-fugitive plugin. Previously, it was supposed to be lazily loaded the first time I ran the :Git command, but I think because gitsigns had already been loaded, nvim was just auto-completing it to :Gitsigns and not loading vim-fugitive.

Gonna go ahead and say that "lazy" loading of any form is expressly unsupported. Even if lazy loading on :Git worked perfectly, there's a lot more to Fugitive than just :Git.
