Describtion

I was trying to install Hyperlist plugin by following the "Vundle" instructions listed on vim-awesome page, and ran into some issues by doing so.

Setup

To install plugins, I use plugin Vundle manager.
Following the instructions

  • I placed the line Plugin 'HyperList' into my .vimrc file
  • ran vim commands :w|so% followed by :PluginInstall

Results

After Vundle downloaded the files and put them into my RTP folder, I tried to invoke plugins's help by running :h HyperList command in vim. Instead of help file, I got an error.

Possible cause

I checked the file where the plugin was installed and found out that the content of the folder was only the readme.md and "home" folder which didn't seem like "usual" plugin folder hierarchy. So I headed to the github page as listed on the vim-awesome website. According to the repository, the actual plugin files are in sub-folder of that repository so full path is supposedly https://github.com/vim-scripts/HyperList/tree/master/home/geir/setup/vim - this sub-folder does contain all the plugin files. So the line in my .vimrc file should be _Plugin 'vim-scripts/HyperList/tree/master/home/geir/setup/vim'_ instead.

Suggested solutions

  1. Modify the instructions for plugin commands to contain full path of the plugin files
  2. Use different repository instead.
    • Upon investigation I found that the creator of the plugin has an actual github repository with exact same Readme.md file as the vim.org mirror repo. The only difference is that the statement about the repository being an actual mirror is missing which leads me to believe that this is the actual repository that can be used by Vim Plugin managers instead.
    • So the correct line for Vundle should be _Plugin 'isene/hyperlist'_
