Removing neosnippet resolves problem.

@update: Unfortunately it doesn't

sheerun commented 11 years ago

More output:

Disabling unite and neosnippet probably fixes that problem..

sheerun commented 11 years ago

Nope, it happened again

Shougo commented 11 years ago

I think it is installation problem. I recommend for you to reinstall neocomplcache.

@sheerun Use Pathogen to easily keep your Vim plugins installed separately. It's a total breeze to use and eliminates issues like this.

Having the same issue on both OSX and nixos using pathogen and vim-plug respectively.

After changing the vital.vim for better output:

function! vital#of(name)
  let fpath = 'autoload/vital/' . a:name . '.vital'
  let files = globpath(&runtimepath, fpath)
  let file = split(files, "\n")
  if empty(file)
    throw 'vital: not found: ' . fpath . ' in ' . &runtimepath
  endif
  let ver = readfile(file[0], 'b')
  if empty(ver)
    throw 'vital: invalid version file: ' . a:name
  endif
  return vital#_{substitute(ver[0], '\W', '', 'g')}#new()
endfunction

I get this when trying to quit my vim session:

It doesn't make any sense because the file exists:

-rw-r--r-- 1 zimbatm users 72 Feb 21 18:35 /home/zimbatm/.vim/plugged/neocomplete.vim/autoload/vital/neocomplete.vital

Is it possible that globpath gets confused somehow ?

zimbatm commented 9 years ago

I managed to reduce the issue down to:

let files=globpath(&runtimepath, 'autoload/vital/neocomplete.vital')

in some projects of mine the files variables has a result and in some not. &runtimepath seem to contain a path to the neocomplete plugin in both cases.

zimbatm commented 9 years ago

The reason it changes between projects is because of the vim-scripts/gitignore. Adding the "nosuf" option to globpath fixes the issue.
