Startify not starting up Neovim?

[djasnowski]

On nvim 0.4.3 (macOS Catalina), I just added this line to my neovim config https://gist.github.com/naknode/f8f9aab6b758d05df900afe340713219 Plug 'mhinz/vim-startify' and I still do not see this on startup.

I added the same line to my even more simpler vim config and alas, no startup. On either. What am I doing wrong? Is this not a startup screen?

And yes :Startify does indeed work.

I have the same question.

I solved the problem by setting this in my .zshrc: alias vim="nvim +:Startify"

In my case, I could solve if by adding autocmd VimEnter * Startify to my .vimrc.

Sorry for not being active the last months.

Is this still an issue? This really shouldn't happen at all.

On the VimEnter event, this code is run: https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify/blob/04ad724e80f51a3f119c0453966c336ce052752c/plugin/startify.vim#L37-L41

So, by default it should act the same as autocmd VimEnter * Startify, if vim is called without any arguments, starts with an empty buffer (so if another plugin is run before Startify, it could fill the buffer) and g:startify_session_autoload isn't set to 1, it should run automatically.

You could drop an echomsg "FOO" between lines 37 and 38 above, to see if that code is even run at startup.

@mhinz no issue with NeoVim 0.5.1, I think you can close the issue 👍
