Under certain circumstances (see below for steps to reproduce) a session
created by the :mksession command creates errors when attempting to load the
session.
The circumstances are:
There is a window with a split.
At least one of the buffers has a filename containing an apostrophe.
The steps to reproduce are as follows:
vim -N -u NONE
:w x'x
:split
:w xx
:mksession
:qa
vim -N -u NONE -S
The errors are:
"x'x" 0L, 0C
Error detected while processing /tmp/Session.vim:
line 159:
E116: Invalid arguments for function bufexists('x\'x') | buffer x\'x | else |
edit x\'x | endif
E15: Invalid expression: bufexists('x\'x') | buffer x\'x | else | edit x\'x |
endif
line 300:
E171: Missing :endif
The offending line in the Session.vim file is:
if bufexists('x\'x') | buffer x\'x | else | edit x\'x | endif
If I manually edit this line as follows:
if bufexists('x''x') | buffer x\'x | else | edit x\'x | endif
the error disappears and the session loads without error and as expected.
I realise this is an obscure and minor bug, but I hope it is of some use to
report it. Thank you if you have the time or inclination to look into it. Also
thank you if you don't, as I love Vim anyway.
