I'm trying to install the vim-scala and vim-sensible plugins using Vundle. I followed the directions here: https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim

In my ~/.vim directory I have: a folder named 'bundle' with a Vundle.vim directory I downloaded from the tutorial.

In my ~/.vimrc I have:

set nocompatible
filetype off
" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
" alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins
"call vundle#begin('~/some/path/here')

" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'

Plugin 'tpope/vim-sensible'
Plugin 'derekwyatt/vim-scala'

" All of your Plugins must be added before the following line
call vundle#end()            " required
filetype plugin indent on    " required

Then I open Vim, type 

:PluginInstall

and my plugins are shown to be successfully installed. However, when I open Vim again, nothing changes.

Edit: I should note that I had the same problems using Pathogen, so I don't think this is a bug in Vundle.

Edit: My .vim and .vimrc are in /root/.vim; I am running on Linux.

  • Do you have `set nocompatible` and `filetype off` at the start? That's required too. Other than that, open up an issue at github with roughly this content if you think this is a bug. – Cubic Oct 27 '14 at 17:27
  • @Cubic, I apologize, I do have those. Edited my post. – jeffrey Oct 27 '14 at 17:29
  • Just to check: Your plugins actually end up in '~/.vim/bundle'? I'm assuming you run on linux or osx? – Cubic Oct 27 '14 at 17:40
  • Correct, after the installation, the plugins are seen in ~/.vim/bundle. I am running on 14.04 Linux – jeffrey Oct 27 '14 at 17:42
  • What is the output of "set rtp" (it will print your runtimepath, and it should include entries like "~/.vim/bundle/vim-sensible/..." and so on. –  Oct 27 '14 at 17:45
  • How do you check if your plugins are actually working? Technically your could run vim-sensible without noticing. – Cubic Oct 27 '14 at 17:46
  • @Josh: output of "set rtp" is runtimepath=~/.vim,~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim,~/.vim/bundle/vim-sensible,~/.vim/bundle/vim-scala,/var/lib/vim/addons,/usr/shar e/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim74,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/var/lib/vim/addons/after,~/.vim/after,~/.vim/bundle/Vundle. vim,~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim/after,~/.vim/bundle/vim-sensible/after,~/.vim/bundle/vim-scala/after – jeffrey Oct 27 '14 at 17:47
  • @Cubic: That is true, I just assumed something would give it away. – jeffrey Oct 27 '14 at 17:51
  • It doesn't look like there's anything wrong here. Check if tab completion works (:e and you should see a list of possible filename completions). – Cubic Oct 27 '14 at 18:13
  • Alternatively, try :SortScalaImports in a Scala file (it's a command exported by vim-scala; if it works your plugins are loading fine). –  Oct 27 '14 at 18:19
  • When you run Vim to test if things are corrctly installed, do you do it as root or as a regular user? Could you paste somewhere the output of `:scriptnames`? – romainl Oct 27 '14 at 18:20
  • I am running as root. The out of :scriptnames gives me a lot of files related ot my plugins. It looks like you guys are right, I just didn't notice the plugins were loaded. Thanks and sorry for the confusion. – jeffrey Oct 27 '14 at 20:20
  • Either delete the question if you don't believe this will be useful to other people or write an answer to your own question. – FDinoff Oct 27 '14 at 20:26

According to the asker jeffrey, he resolved his problem. His plugins were loading, but he just did not realize it, because the plugins were not changing any obvious, visible Vim settings.
