I'm trying to use Pathogen to manage my Vim extensions. My bundle folder looks like this:
.../bundle/ +-- vim-pathogen ¦ +-- autoload ¦ +-- pathogen.vim +-- vim-smoothscroll +-- autoload +-- smooth_scroll.vim
And my vimrc file includes this:
let s:root = fnamemodify(resolve(expand(":p")), ":h") " Initiate pathogen. exec "source " . s:root . "/vimfiles/bundle/vim-pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim" exec pathogen#infect()
My vimrc file is a symlink located in ~ but pointing to a folder inside my Dropbox folder.
This appears to work when I start Vim. Pathogen has added vim-smoothscroll
to my runtimepath:
:set runtimepath? runtimepath=~/Dropbox/Personal/config_sync/vim/vimfiles,~/Dropbox/Personal/config_sync/vim/vimfiles/bundle/vim-p athogen,~/Dropbox/Personal/config_sync/vim/vimfiles/bundle/vim-smoothscroll,~/.vim,~/vim/share/vim/vimfiles,~/vim/ share/vim/vim74,~/vim/share/vim/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after
The problem is that the script smooth_scroll.vim
hasn't been loaded:
1: ~/.vimrc 2: ~/Dropbox/Personal/config_sync/vim/vimfiles/bundle/vim-pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim 3: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/syntax/syntax.vim 4: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/syntax/synload.vim 5: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/syntax/syncolor.vim 6: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/filetype.vim 7: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/menu.vim 8: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/autoload/paste.vim 9: ~/Dropbox/Personal/config_sync/vim/vimfiles/colors/codeschool.vim 10: ~/Dropbox/Personal/config_sync/vim/_vimrc_gui 11: ~/Dropbox/Personal/config_sync/vim/_vimrc_keybinds 12: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/getscriptPlugin.vim 13: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/gzip.vim 14: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/matchparen.vim 15: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim 16: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/rrhelper.vim 17: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/spellfile.vim 18: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/tarPlugin.vim 19: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/tohtml.vim 20: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/vimballPlugin.vim 21: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/plugin/zipPlugin.vim 22: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/syntax/ruby.vim 23: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/syntax/vim.vim 24: ~/vim/share/vim/vim74/syntax/python.vim
Why is that? Loading the script manually works fine.
