Unknown function uniq when called from MacVim

[rdlugosz]

Hi - I'm seeing the following when I invoke dash#search in MacVim; working fine in console Vim. I see the same error whether I use the <leader>d mapping or :Dash directly. I do not see a problem if I invoke <leader>D for Dash Global Search.

Error detected while processing function dash#search:
line   25:
E117: Unknown function: uniq
E116: Invalid arguments for function <SNR>94_search

Looks like updating MacVim to the latest available in Homebrew has resolved the issue. I'm now at:

:version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled May  7 2014 11:14:39)

Closing issue.

Had the same issue and can confirm that upgrading to 7.4 1-258 solved it. Cheers.
