Not working on MacOS - Githubissues

mrwonderfulness commented 3 years ago

Are there issues with this plugin on MacOS? I have it loaded with vim plug and when I run it in vim with Fern . at the command prompt I get a blank vim screen and this:

fern:///file:///Users/my_username;$

I also tried it with the -drawer option but still nothing. Does it conflict with some other plugin or vim setting?

I'm using macOS

Does it conflict with some other plugin or vim setting?

Probably. Investigate the situation by using minimal vimrc like https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern.vim/issues/290#issuecomment-769325553

No response. Close it

I just did a fresh install on my mac and this fern plugin refuses to load. I keep getting newtree instead:

.vimrc file

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

Plug 'sickill/vim-monokai'
Plug 'lambdalisue/fern.vim'

call plug#end()

autocmd VimEnter *
  \  if len(filter(values(g:plugs), '!isdirectory(v:val.dir)'))
  \|   PlugInstall --sync | q
  \| endif

I also tried minimal vimrc file but no luck:

if exists('+compatible') && &compatible
  set nocompatible
endif

set packpath=
set runtimepath^=/Users/andrewbrown/.vim/plugged/fern.vim

filetype plugin indent on
syntax on

Looking inside the plugin it says requires v8.1.0994 I am running v8.1.950

if exists('g:loaded_fern') || (!has('nvim') && !has('patch-8.1.0994'))
  " NOTE:
  " At least https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v8.1.0994 is required
  " thus minimum working version is 8.1.0994. Remember that minimum support
  " version is not equal to this.
  finish
endif

I placed an echo within the ferm.vim and it definitely getting called. My echo only appears to print the first character so hard to debug at the moment
