Errors when using -u command line option

[skeept]

Sometimes I like to specify another vimrc. In my setting there is some issue when I use the -u option. This even fails if I use: vim -u ~/.vimrc (but vim by itself works correctly)

The error list looks like this:

[faramir@Gondor ~/vimfiles]> vim -u ~/.vimrc

It has nothing to do with vam, you should use set nocompatible in your vimrc or -N option on the command-line.

Remember this always when you see E10 errors.

Thanks!

I did have set nocompatible in my vimrc but only after I called the VAM set up functions. I remember reading in the docs that it should be called previously but since it was working before when using .vimrc I never thought that was the problem.

I have another question. I still have some plugins under .vim/plugins. So if if I start vim normally, with VAM these are loaded in vim, as they should. But if I use a specific vimrc file and besides that supply the --noplugins all the plugins in .vim/plugin are still loaded. Is there any way of disabling loading the plugins in .vim/plugins when the --noplugins is given (or some other option to do this)?

Set g:vim_addon_manager.source_missing_plugins to zero as quick workaround. I have updated VAM to respect &loadplugins option. Note: in any case this option must be set before VAM is loaded (--noplugin does this AFAIK).

By the way, this must have been a separate issue. I can’t ref this one in a commit in question.
