How to add a directory as Neovim plugin when running Neovim?

[linrongbin16]

Hi, this may be not the correct place to ask this question. But still, if you have sometime to read this, I want to ask for your help as a Neovim plugin manager developer.

I want to add a directory as a Neovim colorscheme plugin when I running Neovim. For example ~/plugin1.

I use this lua scripts:

vim.opt.runtimepath:append('~/plugin1')
vim.opt.runtimepath:append('~/plugin1/colors')

After this, I use lua print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_list_runtime_paths())) to print the runtimepath, but there's no plugin1 found in them.

Then I type colorscheme xxx, it reports error: colorscheme xxx not found.

I wonder how to dynamically load a directory as Neovim plugin while running in Neovim???

Update

I found that, when I manually type vim.opt.runtimepath:append('~/plugin1'), it's working.

But when I write these things to my plugin here, it's not working.

Very strange!

Please read the docs. Especially the parts about dev and dir. It's literally all in there. Next time, just read the docs first before posting a question...
