gvim ftplugin not loaded

Question

I'm trying to figure this out:

Added ~/.vim/ftplugin/verilog.vim with my commands (matchit rules)
Started gvim and opened a verilog file.
Now:
- :set filetype? returns filetype=verilog
- :filetype returns filetype detection=ON plugin=ON indent=OFF

At this point it looks like verilog.vim wasn't loaded (matchit doesn't match).
Only when running :source ~/.vim/ftplugin/verilog.vim - my commands are loaded (and matchit match correctly)

Any idea what went wrong?

Mystery solved.

When running :scriptnames I can see that that my verilog.vim was loaded, but another verilog.vim was loaded afterwards and overrode my settings.
After moving ~/.vim/ftplugin/verilog.vim to ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/verilog.vim it works!

As a fellow Verilog programmer, let me share with you my improved version of the verilog_systemverilog syntax addon https://github.com/vhda/verilog_systemverilog.vim – Vitor Jan 08 '15 at 21:55

Assuming *nix: Vim directory should be ~/.vim not ~/vim.

And on Windows, it would be ~/vimfiles rather than ~/vim. In fact from :help vimfiles, it looks like ~/vim is not a default location on *any* system. – Ben Jan 07 '15 at 19:53
It was a typo, the directory is ".vim" and the problem is there. – Amir Gonnen Jan 08 '15 at 07:50
