Why isn't the scripts in my autoload folder being executed in Vim?
- by Codemonkey
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.
