wiki.vim prevents iVim from working #205

Open anjiro opened 3 years ago

anjiro commented 3 years ago

Doing :iplug add https://github.com/lervag/wiki.vim results in a black screen when restarting iVim. This happens even with a fresh configuration (removing .vim*). To fix it I have to add -u NONE to the startup options and remove the plug-in.

With some experimentation, I found the problem. wiki.vim tries to detect the OS type with system(‘uname’). That command works fine when iVim is running, but it looks like during startup it hangs iVim.

I haven't experienced this problem with wiki.vim. The problem I do have is giving wiki.vim access to external directories with the :iexdir command.

I am able to do so with MacVim on a MacBook. But after establishing a link to the same directory with :iexdir on my iPhone and using the same path used with wiki.vim on the MacBook files are saved in weird new internal directories.

I suspect the path to the external directories will be different for iOS/iPadOS devices than for MacOS devices, but I haven't found it. I've explored/library/ivim/externaldirs/links/ but come to a dead ed.

I have had to do this on iOS:


let g:wiki_root = py3eval('os.path.realpath(os.path.expanduser("~/wiki"))')

in order to get an actual working path.

Thanks. I should probably just try this. But I have questions, the first being, will it take me to an external directory I’ve linked to with an :iexdir command?

Second, what does it do? (I’m a non-coder, as yet incapable of following out the logic of code.)

On another note, I’m wondering about some folders/paths in iVim I discovered by accident, negotiating into the very topmost folders in netrw.

E.g., if there I go into ~/library/ivim I see /externaldirs, /externalitems, and /externalsymlinks.

Poking around for a while I found this: ~/library/externaldirs/bookmarks/767B00F4-A6D5-4B01-A62F-F217523BD92B/origin.

In it was this: ~/private/var/mobile/library/mobile documents/com~apple~clouddocs/vimfiles. I put it into my .vimrc as the root for wiki.vim. And it worked!

Now I can create, open, and save files in iCloud Drive. Now I can sync directories between my devices.
