\bs and "Enter" on a buffer does not open the file

[shaakaud]

Hi,

I am using zsh shell on CentOS release 6.5. I install bufexplorer plugin using vundle. I am able to list the buffers using \bs and also able to move to other buffers using up/down arrow. But when i press "ENTERY" on a particular buffer, it does not open that file instead it just goes to next line. It use to work, but suddenly i am seeing this issue. Not sure if i am missing any settings.

Uday

Looks like nowait in the s:MapKeys() is causing the issue.

Hi, Hum, very interesting. I will attempt to reproduce this under Debian if I can...

[youpsla]

Same issue here OSX / Bash.

[jlanzarotta]

Well darn...

Strange that it works just fine under Debian with vim version 7.4.35... What versions of vim are you using? As someone mentioned before, vim version must be at least 7.3 and have the patch 1261.

[youpsla]

It works for me with 7.4.35 on OS X. ... Sorry ...

[linudaar]

Same problem here. OS X, Vim 7.4.712, installed with vundle

[truetone]

Same here OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), Vim 7.3, installed w/ vundle

I ended up creating a repo of an old version of buffer explorer that still worked and used that instead: https://github.com/crookedneighbor/bufexplorer

[jlanzarotta]

Not exactly sure what is going on here. I will check this out and hopefully have a fix.

@crookedneighbor Good idea, and thanks!

same issue with: OSX, Vim 7.3, zsh, Vundle

I'm experienced this same issue only when I open vim from 'git config --edit' because git was opening the OSX distributed version of 'vim'. I changed my core.editor setting to '/usr/bin/env vim' which loaded the good version installed by brew.

Maybe there is a change that affected one of the later patches in 7.3!? If so, that would make recent bufexplorer dependent on that patch (assuming one exists).

Looking at: http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/

The following patches mention 'wait' 7.3.499, 7.3.1179, 7.3.1264, and 7.3.1309.

It looks like everyone except linudaar was using vim 7.3 when they experienced the issue. Maybe we can get people to run the following commands.

:echo has('patch-7.3.499')
:echo has('patch-7.3.1179')
:echo has('patch-7.3.1264')
:echo has('patch-7.3.1309')

Which will echo either '0' (patch not installed) or '1' (patch installed).

It looks like the OSX distributed version that I used doesn't have any patches at all. It looks like it is straight 7.3.

[jlanzarotta]

Yeah, something is definitely wrong. When I revert back to the bufexplorer 7.2.8, everything works just fine. I am currently in the process of taking 7.2.8 and updating it and seeing what happens...

[sanscore]

Based on the descriptions, it looks like patches 1261 and 1264 are necessary to get bufexplorer to work properly with .

http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/7.3.1261 http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/7.3.1264

I checked the history of the project and found these: https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround/issues/98#issuecomment-77435471 https://github.com/jlanzarotta/bufexplorer/pull/33 https://github.com/jlanzarotta/bufexplorer/issues/36

I think your explanation in the last link is satisfactory for me. People can use an old version, or a fork, or upgrade vim. Anyway, it works for me.
