get_serverlist returns error #17

Closed stdcerr closed 3 years ago

stdcerr commented 3 years ago

When my code hits import vimpdb;vimpdb.set_trace(), I get the following output:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/vimpdb/config.py", line 251, in get_serverlist
    raise ValueError(RETURN_CODE % (command, return_code))
ValueError: 'vim --serverlist' returned exit code '1'.

and vim --serverlist gives me:

vim --serverlist
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Oct 13 2020 16:04:38)
Unknown option argument: "--serverlist"
More info with: "vim -h"

What am I missing to get vimpdb up and running correctly in my environment?

Did you check that your Vim supports clientserver ? Check the requirements section in the Readme.

That in fact was the issue, I'm on Ubuntu and needed to install vim-gtk instead to get clientserver support! Thank you
