I am investigating the minisnip plug in and I thought I would use it to learn some vimscript as well.
Since minisnip doesn't use file extensions for its snippets, it defines a global path for them (g:minisnip_dir). I created the following ftdetect file: " get the snippets directory let snippet_dir = expand(g:minisnip_dir) . "*" execute 'autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile ' . snippet_dir . ' set filetype=minisnip' macOS: works as is Windows: I have to add to following in my vimrc for it to work: let g:minisnip_dir = '/path/to/minisnip' Someone else testing gets the following error: Error detected while processing /home/joe/.config/nvim/plugged/vim-minisnip/ftdetect/minisnip.vim: line 11: E121: Undefined variable: g:minisnip_dir E116: Invalid arguments for function expand E15: Invalid expression: expand(g:minisnip_dir) . "**/*" line 13: E121: Undefined variable: snippet_dir E15: Invalid expression: 'autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile ' . snippet_dir . ' set filetype=minisnip' Press ENTER or type command to continue If I do: :let snippet_dir = expand(g:minisnip_dir) . "*" :echo snippet_dir It expands to the correct directory in ALL of the cases. :( So I am stumped. Help? Thanks! Bob -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
