Unknown function: pathogen#infect

19k views Asked by At

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

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

The answer already posted (and accepted) is probably correct for the issue as it originally stood.

Today I had the same issue, but the accepted answer did not fix it. Upon investigation, it seems the resource has moved (possibly temporarily) and is now sat behind an invalid SSL certificate.

This worked for me:

curl --insecure -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/master/autoload/pathogen.vim

I have the same problem "Ubuntu 16.04"

And this solution: https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/issues/50

.vimrc:

set nocp " set rtp+=/path/to/rtp/that/included/pathogen/vim " if needed call pathogen#infect() syntax on filetype plugin indent on
