A Zsh-Zinit annex (i.e. an extension), which caches arbitrarily slow command output to speed up shell startup.

z-a-eval's Issues

Is it edge case?

I've used your plugin and I'm satisfied.
There is a possibility that I used it incorrectly, but I found the wrong case.

prev setting:

_tldr-setting() {
  tldr --update
  local comp="$(tldr 2>/dev/null --list)"
  echo "complete -W \"$comp\" tldr" > init.zsh
}

zinit ice wait"2" as"command" from"gh-r" lucid \
      mv"tldr* -> tldr" atclone"_tldr-setting" pick"init.zsh" \
      atpull"%atclone" atload"alias man=tldr"
zinit light dbrgn/tealdeer

init.zsh result: so long..

complete -W "2to3
7z
7za
7zr
R
...
zramctl
zsh
zstd
zsteg
zypper" 

> tldr

z-a-eval setting:

zinit ice wait"2" as"command" from"gh-r" lucid \
      mv"tldr* -> tldr" atclone"./tldr --update" atpull"%atclone" \
      eval"echo complete -W $(./tldr 2>/dev/null --list) tldr" atload"alias man=tldr"
zinit light dbrgn/tealdeer

evalcache.zsh result:

# echo\ complete\ -W\ \ tldr
# generated with z-a-eval annex
if (( ZINIT_Z_A_EVAL_SOURCED )) { return; }
typeset -i ZINIT_Z_A_EVAL_SOURCED=1
complete -W tldr

Thank you again for your hard work.

Does this support local plugins?

❯ tree -L 1 gnubin zinit/plugins
gnubin
└── gnubin.sh
zinit/plugins
└── _local---gnubin -> ../../gnubin

$ cat gnubin.sh
GNUBIN=$(find -L /usr/local/opt -type d -name gnubin | paste -sd':' -)
GNUMAN=$(find -L /usr/local/opt -type d -name gnuman | paste -sd':' -)
[ ! -z "$GNUBIN" ] && echo "export PATH=\"$GNUBIN:\$PATH\""
[ ! -z "$GNUMAN" ] && echo "export MANPATH=\"$GNUMAN:\$PATH\""

$ cat .zshrc
# ...
zinit depth'3' light-mode for \
    NICHOLAS85/z-a-eval

zinit light eval'./gnubin.sh' _local/gnubin

Documentation Idea

Zinit Wiki

I think this is useful and worth mentioning in the official document.

Before/After
It's intuitive what kind of situation you need.

Null Plugin Eval
It is good to have an example when caching non-plugin things. (like with id-as)

No files for compliation found

[eval] Caching output of (`pyenv virtualenv-init -…')

I notice the "No files for compilation found" warning when using the eval ice. However, the zwc file does exist:

ls $HOME/.local/share/zinit/plugins/pyenv-venv1
LICENSE.md  evalcache.zsh  evalcache.zsh.zwc  readme.md

Is there a way to make sure zinit loaded the complied version? Is this error benign / can it be fixed?
