Dictionary not being generated

[benmills]

I'm on OS X 10.10.5 using vim version 7.3.

I get this error when I try to run something like :Wordy weak:

Error detected while processing function wordy#init:                                    
line   40:                                                                              
E755: Invalid region in (Personal)/dotfiles/vim/bundle/vim-wordy/spell/weak.en.utf-8.spl

Looking at my file system the spell dir is empty. I assume that means wordy didn't generate the dictionaries for me.

That's odd, as the dictionary generation has been fairly reliable.

Are the permissions in your vim bundle directory different from your running user that might prevent Vim from creating new files in that spell directory?

[reedes]

Probably unrelated, but I found that 7.3 dictionaries aren't compatible with those generated by 7.4. I had to replace my system vim with homebrew to avoid an error...

brew install --override-system-vi vim

Seeing this same issue on Windows 10. Any thoughts on how to work around or debug this issue?

Figured it out...or, at least, I figured out what was happening in my case, I'm not sure about the op. wordy#init() contains two exe calls that use unsanitized paths. Wrapping them in fnameescape() solves the problem.

[WillDHB]

I made a patch. Probably. I've never actually made a patch with git before.
