Automatically adding lazy-lock.json with chezmoi

[rpbaptist]

I am using chezmoi to manage my config and want to automatically add the lazy-lock.json file after updating plugins.

My idea was to add an autocommand on the LazyUpdate event, as documented

I have added the following autocommand:

return {
	"xvzc/chezmoi.nvim",
	event = "VeryLazy",
        -- Added this to see if it would recognize the event.
	dependencies = {
		"folke/lazy.nvim",
	},
	config = function()
		vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("LazyUpdate", {
			group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("chezmoi_update_lock", { clear = true }),
			callback = function()
				local lock_file = vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/lazy-lock.json"
				require("chezmoi.commands.__apply").execute({
					targets = { lock_file },
				})
			end,
		})
	end,
}

The problem is that "LazyUpdate" is not recognized as an event:

.config/nvim/lua/plugins/chezmoi.lua:20: Invalid 'event': 'LazyUpdate'

Custom event names are actually matched by pattern when User event is triggered.
So you should do it like this:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('User', {
  pattern = 'LazyUpdate',
  callback = function(args) vim.print('foo') end,
})
