Clash between my utils module and utils in luvit-meta library

[polirritmico]

Hi,

I have an utils module inside my .config/nvim/lua/ that have this kind of annotations:

---A collection of custom helper functions.
---@class MyUtils
---@field autocmd MyUtilsAutoCmds
---@field plugins MyUtilsPlugins
local MyUtils = {}
-- etc.

return MyUtils

My problem is that inside luvit-meta/library there is also a utils.lua module:

-- .local/share/nvim/lazy/luvit-meta/library/utils.lua
---@meta

---@class utils: luvit.prettyPrint
local utils = {}

So, that module collides with my personal config utils.

Currently I'm forcing the type through ---@type MyUtils or --[[@as MyUtils]] but I use it a lot and it is annoying, specially since I just have luvit-meta to get hints for vim.uv stuff.

Is there a way to properly handle this case?

Thanks!

Screenshot:

This is my lazydev config:

{
  "folke/lazydev.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
    "Bilal2453/luvit-meta",
    "LuaCATS/luassert",
    "LuaCATS/busted",
  },
  ft = "lua",
  opts = {
    library = {
      { path = "luvit-meta/library", words = { "vim%.uv" } },
      { path = "luassert/library", words = { "assert" } },
      { path = "busted/library", words = { "describe" } },
    },
  },
},

For libuv (and others), use this instead:

        { path = "${3rd}/luv/library", words = { "vim%.uv" } },
        { path = "${3rd}/luassert/library", words = { "assert" } },
        { path = "${3rd}/busted/library", words = { "describe" } },

And remove those dependencies. no longer needed.

kindly tag @polirritmico <https://github.com/polirritmico>: would you mind explaining why you use Bilal2453/luvit-meta?

@nyngwang, check this: https://neovim.io/doc/user/luvref.html Edit: response through mail mess up the format

Thanks for the link, but currently I can use the path "${3rd}/luv/library" to resolve all usages started with vim.uv without installing 'Bilal2453/luvit-meta'. Anyway, I was curious about if your usage is necessary. The link doesn't explain this tho.
