Vim Thesaurus not working with Mac OS X & Vim 8 #44

Open russurquhart1 opened 4 years ago

russurquhart1 commented 4 years ago

I spent most of the day today, trying to get this to work:

https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4588

I am using Vim 8 on a Macbook running OS X 10.14.6 Mojave. I installed all the pieces in the correct place, and when i do the control sequence (\k) is see it sending the command, the window opens, but nothing shows up.

Is it possibly something with the thesaurus-lookup.sh script?

Is anyone running this, or had to correct anything to get this to work?

ANY help is greatly appreciated!!

I have also run into the same issue it appears that everything is running correctly no errors but the list is empty. I had this plugin installed previously a year or so back and had no issues with it at that time.

Hi @croyleje , @russurquhart1 , about a year or two ago, thesaurus.com obfuscated their website to make data grabbing difficult. This plugin stopped updating before that point. There are open source effort to counter such obfuscations. But then the author of that repo received a legal notice from thesaurus.com to take down the repo. So that's the end of it.

There will be no open-source tools to grab the data from their website from then on, at least not without legal challenges.
