Strange non reproducible error when going back to Vim session left alone for a long time

Open Aster89 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Well, the point is that I don't know how to reproduce the problem. The plugin generally seems to work fine, but every now and then, when going back to a Vim session I've not been touching for hours, If I run :PlugUpdate I get back this error:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>4_update[1]..<SNR>4_update_impl[14]..<SNR>4_git_version_requirement[2]..<SNR>4_system[30]..function <SNR>4_update[1]..<SNR>4_update_impl[14]..<SNR>4_git_version_requirement[2]..<SNR>4_system:       
line   24:
E484: Cannot open file /tmp/vG2nbqY/16
Error detected while processing function <SNR>4_update[1]..<SNR>4_update_impl[14]..<SNR>4_git_version_requirement:
line    2:
E171: Missing :endif
Error detected while processing function <SNR>4_update[1]..<SNR>4_update_impl:
line   14:
E171: Missing :endif
Press ENTER or type command to continue

If I run :PlugUpgrade I get:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>4_upgrade[24]..function <SNR>4_upgrade[7]..<SNR>4_system:
line   24:
E484: Cannot open file /tmp/vG2nbqY/20

and so on with the other :Plug* commands.

But I have no idea how to trigger this behavior. It just happens. I haven't been able to notice a correlation between this error and, say, the time I've left the Vim session open without interacting with it.

So mine is mostly a question: do you have any idea what might be happening that screws up your plugin, according to the error message above? Or maybe you have suggestion on what I could set up to track down what is causing this?

Oh, I have kind of the feeling that this strange error started to occur together with this vimplug-unrelated error I've decribed here.

I am having this issue too when running :PlugUpdate

I suspect there's a process in your system that is periodically cleaning up your temp directory. I'm going to close this because there's nothing vim-plug can do to fix the situation.
