I am editing the plugin csvTable (https://github.com/texmacs/tm-forge/tree/main/miscellanea/csvTable), adding a menu item, and I get the menu item only sometimes when I load the plugin. I have perhaps guessed correctly what happens and written then code so that the menu item appears every time; could someone tell me if what I did makes sense?
Here is the description of what I did and guessed.
What I did
The menu definition is
(tm-menu (insert-table-menu)
(former)
---
(when (csv-table-condition)
("Insert table from cvs file" (choose-file insert-csv-table "choose table file" ""))))
Whether the menu appears or not, there is no error message on the terminal.
How I tried to fix the code
I suspect that insert-table-menu gets loaded lazily, therefore sometimes I load the plugin when it is not yet defined, then when the lazy definition is loaded it overwrites my definition. In fact, in init-texmacs.scm I read
(lazy-menu (table table-menu) insert-table-menu)
By this guess, I have added
(lazy-define-force insert-table-menu)
before the plugin’s menu definition and in a few tests the menu appeared every time.
Question
Does this make sense?
