Darktheme loadng after vim 8.1 upgrade and migration to gruvbox-community

[tom0010]

I recently updated vim from 8.0 to 8.1 using brew in macOS, running 10.14.5. I then migrated to gruvbox-community and installed via Vundle:

:VundleClean
:VundleInstall
:VundleUpdate

However, now I only get a dark theme, seems something is not loading correctly, nothing has been changed in my .vimrc apart from: Plugin 'gruvbox-community/gruvbox' Is this expected or am I really missing something here? Screenshot here: http://tinypic.com/r/sl5gur/9

Gruvbox now automatically sets the theme based on your terminal's background using vim's built-in light/dark detection, which is likely what causes this.

Does running "set bg=light" in your vimrc work? Does "set t_RB=" in your vimrc work? This should disable background detection. What is the output of "echo v:termrbgresp" ? This should contain what your terminal reports as the background color.

If this does not help, could you please post a minimal vimrc?

[tom0010]

Yeah I tried all of them they did not work. Where would you like me to echo? inside of vim? I tried this and it just removed the welcome screen when executing vim

Here is my .vimrc:

I did try commenting out set background=dark that did slightly help, some words are highlighted in white now, but not all.

Thanks for looking.

Sorry for the confusion, yes you should echo from inside vim and not your vimrc. So is the problem that it's stuck in the dark theme or are some colors just not loading properly?

I'm on my phone right now but I will try to recreate later. If I can't recreate it, I may need just a minimal vimrc cut down to just the lines needed to recreate the problem on your side so I can look into each line.

[tom0010]

Yeah I did that inside of vim. And yes looks like I am stuck inside of dark theme, maybe this is not related to gruvbox-community exactly, however, still appreciate the help.

[rbong]

I am very sorry for the wait. I cannot recreate inside of vim. If @t1hom7as or anyone else with this problem can let me know the value of :echo v:termrbgresp inside of Vim, your shell, and your platform, it would be much appreciated.

[tom0010]

@rbong I did execute the command when opening vim, but nothing happened. Is there anything else I could try?

[tom0010]

Funny that I am rekindling this, after leaving this for such a long time, I was trying to do the same thing once again. @rbong here is the output:

^[]11;rgb:0000/0000/0000^G

Hopefully that means something?

[tom0010]

Turns out this was the issue inside .vimrc:

set termguicolors
