I just encountered this error message while trying to debug a
problem with extracting vimballs. It's not related to
vimballs--that's just how I happened to find it. I executed
vim -V9verbose.out DrawIt.vba.gz
and discovered this message among the others in the verbose.out log
file:
...
continuing in /home/garyjohn/share/vim/vim71/syntax/manual.vim
Error detected while processing
/home/garyjohn/share/vim/vim71/syntax/manual.vim:
line 20:
E216: No such group or event: syntaxset FileType
finished sourcing /home/garyjohn/share/vim/vim71/syntax/manual.vim
...
Here is that section of manual.vim, with line numbers enabled:
19 " Remove the connection between FileType and Syntax autocommands.
20 silent! au! syntaxset FileType
Is this a bug or is this error expected under some conditions and
hence the "silent!" command? If the latter, it would be nice if a
comment to that effect could be added to syntax/manual.vim so that
folks could know to ignore the message when it appears in their
debug logs.
I see this running vim 7.1.79 on Cygwin and 7.1.77 on SunOS 5.8.
Regards,
Gary
