Dependency other plugin in other file

[BigfootN]

Hello,

If I have a file plugin_a.lua :

return {
     "some/plugin_a",
     name = "name_plugin_a",
     opts = {
         ...
    }
}

And I have plugin_b.lua:

return {
     "some/plugin_b",
     name = "name_plugin_b",
     dependencies = {
         {
               name = "name_plugin_a"
          }
     },
     opts = {
         ...
    }
}

My question is how do I add the dependency plugin_a to plugin_b. I'm searching to add it as a dependency with all it's options.

I tried with it's name but it tells me:

Invalid plugin spec {
      name = "<name_of_other_plugin>"
}

Thank you very much in advance for any help

               name = "name_plugin_a",
               opts = {...}
          }
     },
     opts = {
         ...
    }
}

Thank you for your help.

So, just to be sure, it will load the specs from name_plugin_a defined in the other file ?

Hoping I was clear enough.

Thank you in advance

    }
}

Sorry I misread. I tried in my own config and you make have to use the actual plugin url for plugin a. When I tried adding it as a dependency using the custom name it could not find the correct module for it. Hope this is helpful this time.

Thank you for your help.

Too bad it can't load a plugin, as a dependency, with the specified opts specified in another file.

Thank you for your help.
