Prerequisites

I have searched existing issues
I have updated to the latest version

Neovim version

VIM v0.12.0
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1741730670
Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info

Operating system

NixOS unstable

Description

The docs state that to enable trash management, you just need to set vim.g.canola.delete_to_trash = true. Anecdotally this wasn't working for me. I tried searching both codebases for any mention of delete_to_trash, but I can't find anything that would check that config option. I assume there was a mistake in a recent commit.

Steps to reproduce

Install both canola (on the canola branch) and canola-collection
Enable vim.g.canola.delete_to_trash = true
Try deleting something and see if it appears in the trash (it won't)

Minimal reproduction

I can reproduce with this config:

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = '.repro'
load(vim.fn.system('curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua'))()
require('lazy').setup({
  spec = {
    {
      'barrettruth/canola.nvim',
      branch = 'canola',
      init = function()
        vim.g.canola = {
          delete_to_trash = true
        }
      end,
    },
    {
      'barrettruth/canola-collection',
    },
  },
})
