I am getting this error with some vim script file in .vim folder:
Error detected while processing /home/rafid/.vim/python.vim:
line 116
Line 116 contains this code:
vim:syntax = vim
Any body has in idea what the problem is?
Also, what is this statement supposed to do? I tried to search but couldn't because it is a composite statement.
EDIT: This is where I got the code from:
https://dev.launchpad.net/UltimateVimPythonSetup
Please see the end of the page.
Aren't modelines supposed to be placed within comments?
This works for me: " vim:syntax=vim.
Notice the space between " and the start of the statement.
It seems to work with or without a space between the vim: and the options part. So both " vim:syntax=vim and " vim: syntax=vim are valid.
Did you try fixing the typo?
vim:synatx = vim -> vim:syntax = vim
Sean
Is this a modeline? Then you need to redistribute spaces:
vim: syntax=vim

I'm running a script for vim EX mode I've tried every escape character and word identifier I can find.
it needs to find the string "/etc/walker" and replace it with "/etc/runner"
% s/\</etc/walker\>/\</etc/runner\>/g
wq
same issue with a script to append at the end of the file. It doesn't do anything. I'm trying to append "/etc/walker"
$
a
\</etc/walker\>
.
wq
what I've tried on regex editors seems to work there but not in EX
Thanks for your help
Try this:
:s#/etc/walker#/etc/runner#
Notice the use of # as a delimiter, that way you don't have to add back slashes.
You could also use:
:s#/etc/walker#/etc/runner#
For appending at the end of the line:
:s#$#/etc/walker#
In EX mode just remove the : at the beginning.
I am using command :%s/foo/bar/g | wq to find and replace using vim. It works fine if pattern is available but if pattern isn't available it Error detected while processing command line:
E486: Pattern not found: foo
How can I forcefully exit even if pattern isn't found? I tried wq! in above command but didn't help
The problem is with substitute issuing the error. You can set the flag e
:%s/foo/bar/ge | wq
which should prevent the "No match" error from breaking a mapping or commands.
:h :s_flags
Every time I tried to exit with :q it gave me an error message "E486: Pattern not found:..."
If I press ":" it appears "?" and instead of :q appeared ?q and gave me the error message: "E486: Pattern not found:..."
Cause? Instead of the US keyboard, I had set the Romanian (Standard) keyboard.
And instead of ":" type "ș" (special Romanian character).
I set back to US keyboard and everything was solved.
In my vimrc, I have included a script (say, otherscript.vim, which I need to include for work reasons) that says:
autocmd FileType php setlocal iskeyword+=$
and I don't want this behaviour. So, sometime later in the vimrc, I say:
autocmd FileType php setlocal iskeyword-=$
(I also tried using set instead of setlocal.) But, when I open a php file, iskeyword still contains the $ symbol in it. I am using vim 7.2. The output of ':verbose set iskeyword' is
iskeyword=#,48-57,_,192-255,$
Last set from /path/to/otherscript.vim
The output of ':scriptnames' is:
...
7: /usr/share/vim/vim72/ftplugin.vim
8: /home/yogeshwer/.vimrc
...
74: /path/to/otherscript.vim
...
Can somebody help me how I can revert the changes to 'iskeyword' made by the other script? Thanks a bunch.
I like to avoid autocmds when I can and use the after directory structure.
$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/after/{ftplugin,syntax,indent}
$ echo 'setlocal iskeyword-=$' >> ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/php.vim
This sets up a basic after directory in your user-specific vim config folder. Whereas ~/.vim/ftplugin/$FILETYPE.vim would be used in lieu of vim's standard $FILETYPE.vim file, files in an after directory get executed after, allowing you to override or change the behavior of your ftplugins, syntax definitions, and indent commands.
As an additional example to show you how these work, I'll include part of my local after/syntax/python.vim file here. I like all the "structural punctuation" of my code to stand out when I read it, so I do this:
syn match pythonParen /[()]/
syn match pythonBrack /[][]/
syn match pythonCurly /[{}]/
hi def link pythonParen Paren
hi def link pythonBrack Brack
hi def link pythonCurly Curly
I've also got an after/indent/php.vim file that was supposed to fix some of the annoying indent issues I ran into with the indent behavior when switching in and out of <?php ?> regions in a template file, but the code is a mess and never really worked in the first place, so I won't reproduce it here. I mention it only to give you an example of what can be done with the after hooks.
Starting up vim and then No mapping found shows up at bottom.
running the command: vim -V20logfile
line 3: redir => res
line 4: silent! execute a:cmd
line 5: redir END
line 6: let &verbosefile = oldverbosefile
I had the same issue.
I commented out all maps, thinking they were all fine. Sure enough, vim loaded without err.
Then, I reintroduced the mappings until one broke it. Sure enough I had left out the space between the lhs and the rhs. As soon as I corrected this, it worked perfectly again.
I found the best way to debug your .vimrc is to enable the debug and pip it to a log file. Examine the file and search for the error.
If the error you are receiving is " no mapping found", open the log file and search for the these words.
:/no mapping found.
It will show you where the error is coming from. In my case I found that the error is from a plugin I installed. I disabled it and it works fine again.
Run the following command at the prompt:
vim -V20 2>&1 | tee logfile
