cannot store filenames starting with tilda

c5c86a commented 6 years ago

I do not know if this repo is the root cause of this issue. I use neovim 0.2.2

When opening a file whose path starts with tilda (the home dir) e.g. ~/file1.md on a buffer, closing vim and opening it again, vim opens the buffer as empty complaining that file1.md does not exist. The buffer list at the vim plugin 'bufexplorer' also does not have the tilda after closing and opening vim.

In other words, it seams that the session cannot store filenames starting with tilda.

I am new to vim so here is my vimrc. If I can narrow down the issue and provide something more concrete to identify which plugin is the root cause, let me know.

I will try to reproduce it by listing buffers with :ls and reply by the end of this month.

The author of bufexplorer replies to session issues with I personally do not use sessions so I just deleted that plugin and I am trying again:

I can tell you that back in the day, bufexplorer caused all sorts of little issues like this, and seems like a likely culprit.
