I am using ctrlp.vim plugin which is essentially a file finder. I followed the installation steps as mentioned here:
http://kien.github.io/ctrlp.vim/#installation (using git)
My plugin is working fine and as expected but on starting vim I get following error:
Error detected while processing FuncUndefined Auto commands for "*":
E194: No alternate file name to substitute for '#': runtime autoload/ctrlp#utils#cachedir.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue
On removing set runtimepath^=~/.vim/bundle/ctrlp.vim
from my vimrc the error goes away but obviously even my plugin stops working which is not desired.
Please help.
The format of that command is wrong: Instead of
runtime autoload/ctrlp#utils#cachedir.vim
it should be
runtime autoload/ctrlp/utils/cachedir.vim
The #
separator is used when calling autoload functions, but :runtime
requires a path, with path separators. In there, the special identifiers such as #
and %
are in effect, and that causes the error.
To fix that, find out from where this wrong command is issued.
:verbose autocmd FuncUndefined
is a good start.
