Operating system/version

MacOS 14.1.2 (23B2091)

Describe the bug

The messages printed by vim.print and vim.notify during start up are missing in Noice message window and Noice history window.

For common scenario, some plugins may print warning messages during start up. User will not see these messages and :Noice history also miss them.

Steps To Reproduce

1. nvim -u ./repro.lua
2. :messages to view the "warning" and "hello" messages.
3. :Noice history to view the messages in Noice window. And it is empty.

Expected Behavior

Show the "warning" and "hello" messages in Noice message window. And :Noice history includes these message.

Repro

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
	vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
	vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath, })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

vim.cmd.color 'elflord'

local plugins = {
	{
		"folke/noice.nvim",
		-- event = "VeryLazy",
		dependencies = {
			"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
			"rcarriga/nvim-notify",
		},
		config = function()
			require("noice").setup({
				presets = {
					bottom_search = true, -- use a classic bottom cmdline for search
					command_palette = true, -- position the cmdline and popupmenu together
					long_message_to_split = true, -- long messages will be sent to a split
					inc_rename = false, -- enables an input dialog for inc-rename.nvim
					lsp_doc_border = false, -- add a border to hover docs and signature help
				},
			})
		end
	},

	{
		'ryanoasis/vim-devicons',
		config = function()
			vim.print('warning')
		end
	}
}

require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
	root = root .. "/plugins",
})


vim.print "hello"

I'm pretty sure this doesn't have anything to do with Noice itself, but rather with the order that lazy.nvim loads plugins. If noice is loaded after the messages are printed, then it wouldn't register the messages and add it to its own logs. If you want to see any possible startup errors, then making the plugins with those possible errors have event = "VeryLazy" should be enough, so they load after Noice does.

[adoyle-h]

It is not good for me to set event = "VeryLazy" to every plugin. Not all plugins really need to be VeryLazy. And I cannot predict which plugin would have startup error.

I think Noice should read the lines from :messages when it start and put these messages to its history.
