Disable warning that executable `gtm` does not exist #5

Closed niklaas closed 5 years ago

niklaas commented 5 years ago

I use vim on more machines that I use gtm. So gtm isn't always installed. Is there some way to silent the annoying complaint that gtm cannot be found when vim is started?

In you .vimrc you can check if the executable exists before loading the plugin.

I use vim-plug to manage my plugins.

if executable('gtm')
   Plug 'git-time-metric/gtm-vim-plugin'
endif

Of course! I have this in my .vimrc anyway:

" Conditional activation for vim-plug plugins
" https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/wiki/tips#conditional-activation
function! Cond(cond, ...)
  let opts = get(a:000, 0, {})
  return a:cond ? opts : extend(opts, { 'on': [], 'for': [] })
endfunction

So it's as simple as

Plug 'git-time-metric/gtm-vim-plugin', Cond(executable('gtm'))

Could have come up with that myself. Thank you!
