Error with json file construction

[mpacer]

Just tried to do a fresh install from source, and ran into an issue:

I got:

Failed to write ~/.vimpkg/vim_config.json

(path replaced with ~ for more general search purposes)

and then

Completed setup successfully
Completed successfully.

Which looked a little odd to me, and then when I tried to do the full install, I got a bunch of json decoding errors.

Tried with envs for both python2 and python3, both had json errors (so it wasn't a unicode thing).

Then decided to actually look at the json that it wrote and discovered that the file ended with:

        "name": "tagbar",
        "pkg-url": "https://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar.git",
        "recipe": {}
    },
    {
        "depends-on": [],
        "name": "ctrlp.vim",
        "pkg-url":

I.e., it just ended in the middle of defining the piece of the json needed to grab ctrlp (which I already have installed via vundle).

I'm on OSX 10.11.6.

Heads up…I think that this broke the rest of my vim setup. And there's no clear uninstall instructions.

Sorry for the delayed response. First things first, to revert setup, in your home directory ($HOME, ~) you should see folders in the form of .vim.bak.1 .vim.bak.2 etc. Each time before install, apt-vim backs up the current ~/.vim folder, in case something goes wrong. To restore, inspect the backup directories to find your original (probably .vim.bak.1), and mv it to ~/.vim. Please use caution. I'll add better (any) documentation for this process.

Just for some extra details to help me try to replicate: I'm assuming you had vim plugins installed already by using another manager (ex. Pathogen) or just plain git?

I had managed to get to a steady state after a while; but yes I had been using vundle, but not pathogen. I think pathogen might have been part of the problem but I could be wrong.

Regardless thanks for looking at this! Once that's all set up I'll try this out again.
