[BUG] dashboard plugin not working maybe due to vimEnter event.

[Eveeifyeve]

Field	Description
Plugin	dashborad
Nixpkgs	nixpkgs-unstable
Nix-Darwin	*

• I have read the FAQ and my bug is not listed there.

Description

The issue is when dashboard is enabled it doesn't run on vim enter which therefore shows the default Neovim.
Dashborad includes a guide on how to do this here

Minimal, Reproducible Example (MRE)

  };
}

I see that we recently refactored this module in #1590 so double checking if you are still seeing this behavior? I was able to get it to work with just this config:

{
  plugins.dashboard = {
    enable = true;
    center = [
      {
        desc = "Find project";
        icon = "📁";
        action = "Telescope find_files";
      }
      {
        desc = "Configuration";
        icon = "⚙️";
        action = "Telescope find_files ";
      }
    ];
    hideStatusline = true;
    hideTabline = true;
  };
}
