How to migrate from submodule ?

[cathaysia]

My current plugins are loaded as submodules. I now want to migrate some plugins into the plugin manager. For now I'm using packer:

require('impatient')

-- 储存全局变量
vim.dragon = {}

-- 加载 which key
require('basic.filetype')
require('basic.autoreload')

require('basic.ime')
require('keymap')

require('textobjects')

if vim.g.vscode then
    require('vscode')
    return
end

require('motion.visual_multi_cursor')
require('motion.gomove')
require('motion.leap')

require('basic')
require('basic.devicons')
-- colorscheme
require('appearance.high_group')
require('colorscheme')
-- treesitter
require('treesitter')
require('treesitter.context')
require('treesitter.neogen')
-- cmp
require('completion')
require('frontend.emmet')

require('tools.telescope')
require('tools.mason')

require('lsp')

require('appearance.lualine')

require('packer').startup(function(use)
    use({ './pack/tools/opt/vim-startuptime', cmd = 'StartupTime' })
    use({ './pack/tools/opt/undotree', cmd = 'UndotreeToggle' })
end)

But I want to replace packer with lazy. But currently it looks like lazy doesn't work well with submodules. No matter if I put lazy at the end or at the top, nvim will always report an error.

That should work (although far from ideal).

You need to initialize lazy at the top with your plugins. Obviously don't point lazy to a plugins module that contains those files.

You also should remove impatient, since lazy comes with its own cache.

no, this no work.

I follow your suggestion:

-- require('impatient')

require('lazy').setup({
    'folke/neodev.nvim',
})
-- 储存全局变量
vim.dragon = {}

-- 加载 which key
require('basic.filetype')
require('basic.autoreload')

But the plugins after that can't be loaded:

And packpath is also normal:

[folke]

you can't use packadd with lazy

[cathaysia]

can I disable this? I need rewrite all codes id I can not use packadd.
