vimchat Cannot get vimchat to run under Vundle

I added

Bundle 'ironcamel/vimchat'

to my ~/.vimrc file and ran :PluginInstall. That all ran fine, then I added an account and password to the ~/.vim/Bundle/vimchat/config file like this:

user@domain = password

When I run vim and type :VimChat (after restarting) I get this message:

E492: Not an editor command: VimChat

I'm using vim 7.4. When I run :set rtp? one of the items in the list is ~/.vim/bundle/vimchat. When I run :scriptnames I see a lines which contains /home/user/.vim/bundle/vimchat/plugin/vimchat.vim.

I ran into the same issue using the throughnothing version (github.com/throughnothing/vimchat/issues/2).

I tried manually installing it using the instructions, everything went fine but it still doesn't respond to :VimChat. Are the install instructions up to date?

What happens when you type :VimChat? Are there any errors? Try hitting B in normal mode. Does a buddy list window open on the left?

When I type :VimChat I get "E492: Not an editor command: VimChat". Hitting B doesn't appear to do anything (no response).

It seems like the plugin didn't load for some reason. Do you have a ~/.vim/plugin/vimchat.vim file?

Over the weekend I tried installing from scratch following the current install instructions on an ubuntu 14.04 machine and it worked fine.

Ok I hadn't installed xmpppy, when I installed it everything worked. Sorry!

Yay! No problem. Glad it is working for you.
