Unknown function: pathogen#infect


I just installed MacVim (and did an override of Vim). And I am trying to get Pathogen to work. When I start Vim, I get the following error:

E117: Unknown function: pathogen#infect
E15: Invalid expression: pathogen#infect()

My .vimrc looks like this

execute pathogen#infect()
syntax on
filetype plugin indent on

And my directory looks like this

~/
  .vimrc
  .vim
     autoload
       pathogen.vim
     bundle
       nerdtree
  .viminfo

Solution

  • Looks like you copied the pathogen.vim directly from the browser, which has all the HTML tags in it.

    Try running following command and try again -

    curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim
