Ack plugin inside the vim is not working


I'm getting following error inside vim while using Ack plugin:

[ No Name]
|| ack-grep: Command not found.

I have installed ack vim-plugin at the path ~/.vim/bundle/ack.vim. I have checked with :scriptnames, it shows me proper path.

Added following entries to my .vimrc file:

let g:ackprg="ack-grep -H --nocolor --nogroup --column"
nmap <leader>a <Esc>:Ack! 

I'm still getting the error. Am I missing anything ?


Solution

  • If the error is ack-grep: Command not found the vim can’t find the ack-grep command. So it’s not be a problem with the plugin, but instead a problem in your (shell) environment.

    Run which ack-grep from the shell and make sure you actually do have an ack-grep that’s executable and that’s in your $PATH so that vim can find it.
