It turned out it is plugin manager.
junegunn/vim-plug this is actually popular one.

Can we consider supporting this?

Thanks!

How did you determine that it was the plugin manager causing the problem? From your error message it looks to me like you are using a version of Vim that is too old and doesn't support the Vim features we are using here. What version of Vim are you using?

I don't know if anyone has tested vim-import-js with neovim. Since the job control implementations have diverged, it seems unlikely to work without a little bit of extra work.

@lencioni I maybe wrong but I have almost same setup with different plugins manager. The one with other than vim-plug seemed working fine.
and as @tdooner said, it can be neovim. I'll put an update on this when I get a chance to look at.

Thank you all.

Same problem here with vim 7.4.898 and neovim 0.1.2, using Vundle.

Sorry for leaving so many comments unanswered here. It looks like neovim/neovim#5520 is relevant to the issue. Basically, neovim doesn't support the same channel interface as vim 8 does. If anyone is willing to take a stab at making the import-js plugin work for neovim, I'd be delighted to review a PR! If not, I'll try to get to it at a later time.

I read the reddit thread on Neovim API comparison with Vim channels. Do you know how plugins are supposed to work with both Neovim and Vim? Do you have to do a check to see if it's running in Neovim and do one thing, or if it's in Vim, do another thing instead?

I don't know to be honest, but it looks like if has('nvim') might do the trick. neovim/neovim#1931

We could also look into some kind of feature detection instead of detecting what editor is running.

Do you have a link to the reddit thread?
