Checker functionality is non-functional

[maverick1872]

Updated my configuration within the past couple weeks to enable a weekly plugin update checker to help me stay on-top of updates better. Realized today that it hadn't seemed to give any notifications. Digging into this a little bit it appears that Lazy isn't generating and writing a state file within the state/nvim/lazy directory.

To further prove this I explicitly set the state configuration object, updated the frequency to 10s, then manually invoked a check to see if it would exist. Unfortunately no dice still.

To take it to the extreme I took the following steps and yet still the file is not being written to.

touch ~/.local/state/nvim/lazy/state.json
chmod 666 ~/.local/state/nvim/lazy/state.json

Lazy Setup Configuration

Latest git commit updating my lazy initialization approach

Configuration I used (uncommitted) for testing the absence of the state.json

require('lazy').setup('plugins', {
  performance = {
    rtp = {
      disabled_plugins = { 'netrwPlugin' },
    },
    checker = {
      enabled = true,
      notify = true, -- get a notification when new updates are found
      frequency = 10, -- check for updates every weekly (7 days)
      check_pinned = true, -- check for pinned packages that can't be updated
    },
    state = vim.fn.stdpath('state') .. '/lazy/state.json', -- state info for checker and other things
  },
})

Any inputs/suggestions would be much appreciated.

P.S. It might be worth adding something to the health check to ensure the state file is present/writable?
