Can you please provide a replicator using a Clean Room

Lazy Loading is not recommended and we cannot diagnose issues with the plugin manager.

Hey I was getting the same error. What I did is went into the directory where the git repo for nvim-tree was pulled
~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/nvim-tree.lua
did a git checkout master and git pull origin master, and a lot of files got pulled. For some reason the latest files were not pulled by lazy when installing. Then just to be sure, I picked out the specific commit for the latest release and checked out that commit. Then restarted nvim and everything was working smoothly

Thanks for extra info. Since there was no response for three months I am closing this issue now. Can reopen when Alex's request gets addressed.
