[Defect] Find_in_parents does not work under cygwin

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Calling

lh#path#find_in_parents('/cygdrive/d/_P/tesfile', ['_vimrc_local.vim'], 
'file,dir', '^/\=$\|^[A-Za-z]:\+$\|^//$\|^\\\\$\|^[/\\]home[/\\]uidw8099$')

prints the warning:

The current file '/cygdrive/d/_P/testfile' seems to be in a non-existent 
directory: ''

It seems that the last_valid_path is wrong. This could stem from the fact that 
when opening the file the path is "~/d/_P/testfile" and "d" is a symlink to 
"/cygdrive/d".

The problems seem to come from the fact that vim reports 
isreadable('//_local_vimrc.vim') == 1 although the file does not exist.

I modified the file:
 477:  if path != '/' && up_path == '.' " Likely a non existent path

 497:  if path == '/'
 498:    let path = ''
 499:  endif

And it seems to work.

Thank you for the bug report.

I took another path in order to fix the bug -- I've been wanting to simplify 
the function for a log time, and I've still some work to do :(

It should be fixed since r870. I recommend you to update local_vimrc as well.

Let me know if the bug is fixed on your side as well.

• Changed state: Fixed
• Added labels: OpSys-Windows, local_vimrc, lhVimLib

Unfortunately i us lh-vim from github. Is it up to date there too?

That may explain why your line numbers weren't matching mine...

No it is not. The best way to always have an up-to-date version is to use this 
subversion repository. Which github version are you using ? The one from 
alerque or the one which is automatically updated from vim.org (vim-scripts) ?

Note, if you are not using Vundle but neobundle, it should (*) find lh-vim-lib 
automatically -- AFAIK, NeoBundle should now rely on vim-pi which is able to 
tell where to find lh-vim-lib. 

(*) I need to test it.

If you are using NeoBundle, I have updated to installation doc of local_vimrc 
in consequence.

I'm using the one from vim-scripts. Sorry not using NeoBundle but Vundle.

I've published the vimball on vim.org, vim-scripts will get updated in a few 
hours/days.

But please, Vundle is really not fit for plugins like the ones I'm maintaining. 
There are too many dependencies and Vundle will never support them (nor svn). :(
