Error opening tmp file on vim startup

[timabell]

I've probably borked my install somehow but I can't figure out what's wrong. When I run vim it hangs, and when I hit ctrl-c I get the below error info:

$ vim
^C
Command terminated

Error detected while processing /home/tim/.vimbundles/ack.vim/plugin/ack.vim:
line   23:
E484: Cannot open file /tmp/vZxNMD0/0
Interrupted
Interrupt: Press ENTER or type command to continue

If I rm -rf /home/tim/.vimbundles/ack.vim/ then vim loads fine. If I re-clone ack.vim it breaks again. I had a look at the file mentioned and line 23 is https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim/blob/master/plugin/ack.vim#L23 :

let s:ackprg_version = str2nr(matchstr(system(g:ackprg . " --version"),  '[0-9.]\+'))

which as far as my uneducated eyes can tell should work as the following works for me:

$ ack-grep --version
ack-grep 2.04

Hi @timabell, this is the better place to report, thank's for the reporting! :smile:

Did you changed your g:ackprg variable?

[timabell]

Thanks! I don't think I changed it. How do I check?

I think I know what I've done. I've remembered I was trying to get things to work differently for shell commands and I have a custom .vimrc https://github.com/timabell/dotmatrix/blob/master/.vimrc - going back to the hashrocket master un-breaks things so clearly I don't know what I'm doing. I'll close this as I don't think it's anything to do with ack.vim it's just the error that threw me.

[timabell]

narrowed it down to this line in my .vimrc that's breaking things:

let $BASH_ENV="~/.bashrc"

Comment it out and it works again. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8841116/vim-not-recognizing-aliases-when-in-interactive-mode/18901595#18901595

That strange.. If you get how it was blowing up ack.vim, please let me know.

[timabell]

Okay I've narrowed it down and I don't think it's anything to do with ack.vim. It's probably just the first thing to run an external command when I start vim.

I'm loading my proper bash environment when I run commands so I can do more things with "!" in vim - https://github.com/timabell/dotmatrix/blob/master/.vimrc#L25 and this in turn loads rbenv (which is entirely my own fault) using eval https://github.com/timabell/dotmatrix/blob/master/.bashrc#L44 and if I comment out this line the hang goes away.

I don't yet know why this hangs (my vim fu is not nearly that strong yet). I won't report further unless you are really curious but if you want to know more you could always follow my dotmatrix repo which will get a fix if I can figure it out.
