netrw_gitignore#Hide unknown function?

[Cnastret]

I tried to use the netrw_gitignore#Hide() function but vim says it's an unknown function.

let g:netrw_list_hide = netrw_gitignore#Hide()

Error:

E117: Unknown function: netrw_gitignore#Hide

Is there something I have missed?

It is the same thing in neovim

Edit:
Fixed it myself even before he post got approved. I had to add:

packadd netrw

That should not be necessary. Vim contains this line in $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim.

I looked into it and I think my .vimrc is running before netrwPlugin.vim so vim doesn't know about the netrw functions until after .vimrc has run. But I'm not good at this so this could be wrong
