Description

using vim plug, I'm running into this error when I execute checkhealth:

==============================================================================

Thanks for raising this @aalvarado

It looks like the health check will execute the method check() on any module named health.lua.

nvim-tree does not yet have a health check.

Solution:

• rename api.health to api.appearance
• update command to reference new appearance module
• do not add a silent migration

The api.health module has only existed for a week and adding a compatibility shim may incorrectly result in a health check.

Fixed and merged. Very grateful for your reporting any further issues @aalvarado
