@Pim-tech No. Vim is a text editor, not an IDE. If you need an interactive debugger, use Visual Studio Code or PyCharm, or if you prefer to debug in the terminal, pudb.

@miguelgrinberg

How do you like pudb?

Do you use it in your workflow regularly?

@jgarte pudb is my first debugger of choice these days. It's really good.

@miguelgrinberg and Everyone,

I'm getting errors when I run vim with this vimrc.

I only know enough about all of this ... to be dangerous. :) So I'll probably be asking some stoopid questions.

I'm using version 8.0 in the Windows Linux (Ubuntu) shell or app.

At first the errors were from the "if" statement that runs "curl."

I kept getting permission denied when it attempted to create the ~/.vim/autoload/plugin.vim. I tried chaning the permissions on the directories and files but it didn't help. In fact, this is what it looks like now.

hostname:~$ ls -la ~/.vim/autoload/
ls: cannot access '/home/corpmule/.vim/autoload/plug.vim': Permission denied
...snip...
-????????? ? ?     ?        ?            ? plug.vim

I've never seen anything like that.

I also ran the curl command directly from the command line, using sudo. That might be how the above was actually created.

After I edited the vimrc, to move the ! (bang) -- to be directly after the "silent" command, and, put the url on the same line, those errors went away.

silent! curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

But now ... I get more errors...

Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vimrc:
line   17:
E117: Unknown function: plug#begin
line   18:
E492: Not an editor command: Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible
...etc

Those "Not an editor command" erors continue through all the lines (plugins) within this function.

If anybody has an idea what I'm doing wrong, or how I could try to fix this, I'd appreciate it.

@corpmule I don't know. I'm not a regular Windows user, but I have used this configuration on WSL occasionally and I don't recall having any problems.

@RandomShtuf I'm not sure, but the error comes from the auto-pairs plugin, so it must be related to that. Unfortunately I'm not an expert in vim plugin internals, so I cannot really help you on this.

oh... thanks anyway... fortunately i was able to fix it... i just had to remove ~/.vim like you did in your video

another quick question tho... is there a way to show dot files/hidden files on the file manager?

@RandomShtuf you can add let NERDTreeShowHidden=1

thanks

@miguelgrinberg sir I am not able to on file system and tagbar.
could you please tell me how to do that

Hi Miguel. Are you using the default macOS terminal? Does not seem to work properly for me when using the nice onedark theme, no matter the settings. Works fine with set termguicolors and iTerm though. Any ideas on this matter? Thanks!

@mamodrzejewski I use iterm2.

Please help me to learn how to show echo error message like bellow.

I was try to learn how to NERDtree get message error from ALE Linter and show it on bottom panes in vim. But I am lost…. Thank you Very Much.

@45-4ry I don't think ALE can do that, it checks in the background and adds marks on the lines that have errors. Try the vim-syntastic extension instead.

@miguelgrinberg Thank you

@miguelgrinberg : Thank's for your replies.
Have a nice day! JeanYves.

Miguel, gracias por compartir.
