Error detected while processing function StripTrailingWhitespace

[MaerF0x0]

stock spf13-vim v3.0 Whenever my go files have a gofmt error in them (eg:

a := struct{A string}{
  "Fish"  // <--- Missing comma
}

It gets stuck and I have to press enter to continue.

Gofmt returned error

line    6:
E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is off

Same issue here and It's not vim-go related. https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/issues/723

Might be related to vim --with lua as I resolved this issue via installing vim with lua on osx

rm -rf ~/.vim* // or uninstall spf13 vim
brew unlink vim
brew install vim --with-lua
// install spf13-vim

This simple faulty code

package main

dfafd

triggers the same error

Gofmt returned error

@dan-compton not related to vim --with lua, because here is my vim version

Found a hacky workaround. In ~/vimrc, on line 256 there is : autocmd FileType c,cpp,java,go,php,javascript,puppet,python,rust,twig,xml,yml,perl,sql autocmd BufWritePre <buffer> if !exists('g:spf13_keep_trailing_whitespace') .......

Removing "go" from the FileType list "fix" the problem.
