Not working about vim-gitgutter HOT 29 CLOSED

Thanks @wayneashleyberry! I had the same not working issue - Thanks for the idea to run git status in vim - My issue was due to not having accepted the Xcode license.

If you fire up Vim and type :scriptnames, do you see vim-gitgutter listed? It should be.

Assuming it is, open up a file being tracked by git. Type :echo git and press tab after "git". You should get two completion options: GitGutter() and gitgutter_initialised.

from vim-gitgutter.

Ah, the script is listed in :scriptnames but when I run :echo git I get the following error:

E121: Undefined variable: git
E15 Invalid expression: git

from vim-gitgutter.

What happens if you do :!git?

It should give you the git help stuff you see when you type git in your shell.

from vim-gitgutter.

Yeah, !git works.

Prints out the standard git stuff...

usage: git [--version] [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]
           [-p|--paginate|--no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]
           [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
           [-c name=value] [--help]
           <command> [<args>]

from vim-gitgutter.

Hmm, when you edit a file which is being tracked by git, and you type :call GitGutter() what happens?

from vim-gitgutter.

Absolutely nothing, no errors, no visual changes. I am definitely working on a file tracked by git, with uncommited changes as well...

from vim-gitgutter.

from vim-gitgutter.

No errors means Vim has correctly loaded the GitGutter function.

Silly question but have you saved your uncommitted changes to disk?

from vim-gitgutter.

I've tried everything, editing a file, deleting lines, saving, not saving. You can see the little red plus on my powerline there shows that git's "dirty"

from vim-gitgutter.

Weird. Does :echo gitgutter_initialised give you 1?

from vim-gitgutter.

nope, get this error

E121: Undefined variable: gitgutter_initialised
E15: Invalid expression: gitgutter_initialised

Sorry about all this hassle :)

from vim-gitgutter.

No worries, I'm sorry for the hassle for you :)

The only way for GitGutter() to be defined but not g:gitgutter_initialised is for the plugin to think that at least one of the following is not true:

• you are editing a file
• the file is in a git repo
• the file is tracked by git

Your screenshot shows that all three are true so somehow the plugin is getting confused.

from vim-gitgutter.

What does echo strlen(expand("%:p")) > 0 give you? Should be 1.

And how about this:

call system("cd " . expand("%:p:h") . " && git rev-parse > /dev/null 2>&1")
echo v:shell_error

Should be 0.

And finally:

call system("cd " . expand("%:p:h") . " && git ls-files --error-unmatch > /dev/null 2>&1")
echo v:shell_error

Again, should be 0.

from vim-gitgutter.

echo strlen(expand("%:p")) > 0 returns 1 as it should.

call system("cd " . expand("%:p:h") . " && git rev-parse > /dev/null 2>&1")
echo v:shell_error

returns 128

from vim-gitgutter.

Could it have something to do with how ctrlp loads files?

I've tried using ctrlp or just regular :e to open files, same results.

And i'm double checking the folder i'm in with :pwd

from vim-gitgutter.

Progress...this is causing the plugin to think the file you're editing isn't in a git repo.

Can you go to your shell, cd into the file's git repo, and run:

git rev-parse > /dev/null 2>&1
echo $?

Also, what version of git are you using?

from vim-gitgutter.

I don't think it concerns how the files are loaded. I using :e mostly and that works fine for me.

from vim-gitgutter.

using git 1.8.1.4

git rev-parse > /dev/null 2>&1
echo $?

returns 0

Using zsh if that matters.

from vim-gitgutter.

Those screenshots are very helpful BTW :)

So the shell is behaving as expected, returning a status code of 0. But when we execute the same command from Vim we get a status code of 128.

Perhaps it is something to do with zsh. I'm using bash and I haven't tested it on zsh. Let me do a little research into Vim/zsh and see if I find anything.

from vim-gitgutter.

Thanks, really appreciated it :)

Here are my dotfiles, just in case

https://github.com/wayneashleyberry/dotfiles

from vim-gitgutter.

Works for me with zsh (on osx).

from vim-gitgutter.

Would it matter if my vim and terminal are using different versions of git?

Seems vim's loading /usr/bin/git which is 1.7.10.2, but my terminal's using /usr/local/bin/git

from vim-gitgutter.

@tonio That's useful to know, thanks.

@wayneashleyberry My Vim's using 1.7.10 so yours should be ok.

from vim-gitgutter.

check this out though

:!git status
error: Malformed value for push.default: simple
error: Must be one of nothing, matching, tracking or current.
fatal: bad config file line 62 in /Users/wayne/.gitconfig

shell returned 128

the mentioned line 62 being:

[push]
    default = simple

from vim-gitgutter.

That's probably a 1.8+ option?

from vim-gitgutter.

Possibly...

from vim-gitgutter.

yup, took it out - the plugin worked instantly :)

thanks for all the help!

from vim-gitgutter.

Great news!
