VIM plugins stage takes three hours or more

[dheerajchand]

Hi,

I have been on the "install vim plugins" stage for three hours on a reasonably fast connection. Is this expected behaviour? Is it possible to add output to the process so I can what it's doing, if it's falling, etc.?

definitely should not take very long at all. Try just running this: vim +PluginInstall +qall, just removing the output redirection here: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles/blob/main/install.sh#L272

To be clear, I run that command from the same directory in which install.sh lives, T/F?

[atomantic]

should be able to run that vim command from anywhere

Is this expected behaviour?

What do you get with vim +PluginList? I've updated my plugins and they appear to be ok on my end.... You could try commenting out some of these plugin lines to see if it's something particular with particular plugins like vim-fugitive: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles/blob/main/homedir/.vimrc#L34

maybe try changing the .vimrc to remove Fugitive and then do: vim +PluginClean -- seems something is wrong with Fugitive...

[atomantic]

looks like this error is identified as out of date fugitive: https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/issues/1848

Maybe try force-killing vim-fugitive and reinstall:

rm -rf ~/.vim/bundle/vim-fugitive
vim +PluginInstall +qall
