DirDiff 'there is no diff at the current line'

[alan73]

I'm trying to use DirDiff plugin for Vim. I installed the latest version with the help of pathogen.

Then created two directories (dir1 and dir2) in /tmp. In each directory created file test (contents are different).

Then launched vim and typed:

:DirDiff /tmp/dir1 /tmp/dir2

Result:

[A]=/tmp/dir1 [B]=/tmp/dir2 Usage: /'o'=open,'s'=sync,'q'=quit Options: 'u'=update,'x'=set excludes,'i'=set ignore,'a'=set args Diff Args: -r --brief

==> Flies [A]/file и [B]/file are different

Footer of window contains:

There is no diff at the current line!

Vim doesn't respond on my requests for viewing file diffs (by means of pressing Enter/o).

What can be the reason?

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Vim: 7.4.52

Hmm, do you know if your LANG environment is set to something other than  "C"? The char between [A]/file and [B]/file seems to be generated by the locale for diff it seems? Will

I've got the same problem. When setting LANG to "C", works fine.

[tex]

Fix for this is in #7

[ezh]

This is my working settings for ru_RU.UTF-8.

let g:DirDiffForceLang = "C"
let g:DirDiffTextFiles = "Файлы"
let g:DirDiffTextAnd = " и "
let g:DirDiffTextDiffer = " различаются"

IMHO this information must be in README.MD with bold lines. So users with different locales may create proper configuration.

Please redefine DirDiffTextFiles, DirDiffTextAnd and DirDiffTextDiffer with regards to your locale. Keep spaces inside quotes.

Fix #7 is nice for UN*X like systems but makes plugin not work by default on native Windows systems (Command !LANG=C is not valid for cmd.exe). So we need a usable default for win32 in default setup (let g:DirDiffForceLang = "")

[will133]

Yes, I agree we need some sort of default on Windows. I'm not sure how the diff.exe work though with i18n requirements. We can probably ignore it for now.

Continuing this issue because I'm having it too : I'm on a french server and even if I run LANG=C diff a b, the output is in french.

I forced the let g:DirDiffForceLang = "en_US" and DirDiff now works
