Failed to compare with the origin when PlugClean.

[Davtrap21]

Hi, every time I try to PlugClean it prompts me to delete the directories of every single installed plugin, not only the ones missing from the list, and the message:

Failed to compare with the origin. The default branch might have changed.

I tried to fix everything I knew I changed in my hand to see if I broke the manager; folder sharing, outdated git, vim-plug or NeoVim, firewall rules, VPN...

I use a .vim file for vim-plug only, and init.lua for configs, setups and to source the vim file. Although I thought that could be an issue, I have a similar if not the same setup in a laptop with the same OS, and the old git, NeoVim and vim-plug versions I had in my main computer. PlugClean works perfectly there.

I've been trying to solve it on my own for some time but now but I finally ran out of ideas, I don't know if I screwed the manager up or if this is a bug, what am I missing?

Additional note

I kept the same versions for git and NeoVim since the problem started, I never updated till the day of this issue writing. The only I think I updated was vim-plug. Old versions were 0.9.5 release for NeoVim and 2.35.X.windows.2 for git. New version of NeoVim is listed below (:version), new git version is 2.45.2.windows.1.

Thought this might be important.

Can you test this command in one of the plugin's directory? (e.g. :echo g:plugs['coc.nvim'].dir)

git rev-list --count --left-right HEAD...origin/master

# or this if the default branch is main
git rev-list --count --left-right HEAD...origin/main

[Davtrap21]

Command output in coc directory:

PS C:/.../nvim-data/plugged/coc.nvim> git rev-list --count --left-right HEAD...origin/master
1   1

The output looks fine. Can you test it again inside Vim like so?

:execute 'cd' g:plugs['coc.nvim'].dir | echo system('git rev-list --count --left-right HEAD...origin/master') | echo v:shell_error

[Davtrap21]

Output is:

C:\Users\funti\AppData\Local\nvim-data\plugged\coc.nvim
1       1

My guess is that you're using an old version of powershell as your &shell, right?

Can you check if b98b66242bf6ec28c256ddff2a274e2e7a43d832 fixes the problem?

FWIW, I had to follow the guide in :help shell-powershell to make :PlugDiff work, but without Remove-Alias because it's not available on powershell 5.

[Davtrap21]

I was using powershell 5.1.
