What happened?

zinit ls command fails

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone zinit
2. Run zinit ls
3. Error message is displayed:

$ zinit ls
ERROR: Unknown subcommand: `ls` (it should be one of, e.g.: `load`, `snippet`, `update`, `delete`, …, e.g.: `zinit load username/reponame`) or a for-based command body (i.e.: e.g.: `zinit …ice-spec… for …(plugin or snippet) ID-1 ID-2 ⋯⋯…`). See `help` for a more detailed usage information and the list of the subcommands.

To help reproducing the bug in a clean environment I have created PR #671 (WIP) with added test for zinit ls command. The test currently fails.

Relevant output

ERROR: Unknown subcommand: ls (it should be one of, e.g.: load, snippet, update, delete, …, e.g.: zinit load username/reponame) or a for-based command body (i.e.: e.g.: zinit …ice-spec… for …(plugin or snippet) ID-1 ID-2 ⋯⋯…).

Additional context

At the moment I cannot provide any meaningful root cause analysis as I am not fluent enough in zinit code. I am suspicious that loading zinit-autoload.zsh is broken somewhere as function .zinit-list-snippets which seems to be an implementation of zinit ls command is not autoloaded as well:

$ .zinit-list-snippets
zsh: command not found: .zinit-list-snippets
