E331: Must not add menu items directly to menu bar

[ItsEric]

Hi,

Every time I want to open a .gpg file get an error saying "E331: Must not add menu items directly to menu bar". I then have to press the Enter Key and enter my passphrase and then everything seems to work normally.

Does it breaks the security ?

Also is it safe to store a gpg-encrypted file in my dropbox folder and edit it from there or will uncrypted files will be saved during the editing process (using the vim-gnupg plugin of course) ?

I run Debian on a VM

Thanks !

I can't reproduce that behavior. Even if I remove all menus before loading plugin/gnupg.vim, it works fine. Can you post the output of vim --version? Also, are you using a plugin manager to manage your plugins? If so, can you post any of the plugin manager's commands that relate to vim-gnupg?

No. The menu isn't necessary and doesn't have an effect on the security.

It should be ok, but I don't know exactly how your environment is setup. To know for sure, you could use something like strace to see what files Vim writes.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I am not using a plugin manager, I only have your plugin installed (the .vim file is located in my /root/.vim/plugin folder).

My Debian 8 installation is very recent and I haven't installed any package other than vim and some basic debian software (build-essential...). I don't think it matters at all but I use VMware fusion 7 on my Macbook pro to use Debian.

That wasn't the full output of vim --version. Can you please run LANG=C vim --version and post the entire output? Thanks.

[ItsEric]

Sorry, I thought it was enough.

I'm not able to reproduce this. It doesn't make sense that this would only happen when you open a .gpg file since plugins are always loaded, and loading the plugin is what creates the menu.

Can you try with vim -u NORC -N foo.gpg?

[ItsEric]

My VM started crashing repeatedly in the last few days, I think something was misconfigured at the OS level and is responsible for my issues.

I am closing this issue as it appears not to be related to vim-gnupg.

Thank you for your support jamessan.
