The following excerpt is from overlays.md
:
Removing an Overlay
If you don't need the overlay definitions anymore, call overlay hide:
(spam)> overlay hide spam
(zero)> foo
Error: Can't run executable...
(zero)> overlay list
───┬──────
0 │ zero
───┴──────
The overlays are also scoped.
Any added overlays are removed at the end of the scope:
(zero)> do { overlay use spam; foo } # overlay is active only inside the block
foo
(zero)> overlay list
───┬──────
0 │ zero
───┴──────
In the second code block, running the scoped code example leads to this:
❯ do { overlay use spam; foo }
Error: nu::shell::external_command
× External command failed
╭─[entry #33:1:24]
1 │ do { overlay use spam; foo }
· ─┬─
· ╰── Command `foo` not found
╰────
help: A command with that name exists in module `spam`. Try importing it with `use`
I imagine this is due to the parsing stage not recognizing the foo
command since it currently isn't in scope. I assume this is by design and it's the docs that fail to mention this. Perhaps we should modify the example to prevent confusion? Or perhaps I may have missed something. Please let me know. Thanks!
