Fern . does not work with vim-projectionist

[lourenci]

Hi. Thanks for the plugin.

When I open fern with the command :Fern . no files show up. It's not happening with the last tag release or with the :Fern . -drawer command. I've already removed the plugin and installed it again to keep the cache problem away.

It's really strange. At least for now, nobody except you hit that situation. To clarify the issue, could you fill the following?

1. Which OS and version you use
2. Which Vim/Neovim version you use

And could you try :Fern . with the following minimal vimrc?

" How to use this vimrc.min
" vim -u ~/vimrc.min
" nvim -u ~/vimrc.min
if has('vim_starting')
  set nocompatible
endif

" Rewrite it to path/to/your/fern.vim
set runtimepath+=~/.ghq/github.com/lambdalisue/fern.vim

Same problem here. The issue happened on Ubuntu 18.04 and VIM 8.0 patch 1-1453 and NeoVim v0.3.8

Thanks.

Your minimal config worked for me. I tried to verify some plugins conflict, then as soon as I disabled the vim-projectionist the fern came back to work.

I'm using macOS 10.15.3 and neovim v0.5.0-ead61e5a5.

Then it's not an issue of fern. Please report it to that plugin.

P.S.

I'm not sure and I'm not going to investigate it more but let g:projectionist_ignore_fern = 1 might solves your problem.

Please create a new issue if the reason is not vim-projectionist. Note that please try it with a minimal vimrc above.

Tried to run minimal vimrc on vim 8.1 and vim 8.2 and neovim 0.4.2, the problem has gone.
