Git SubModules

[vheon]

I have a slightly different declaration for YCM:

function! YCMInstall(info)
  if a:info.status == 'installed' || !pyeval( 'base.CompatibleWithYcmCore()')
    !./install.sh --clang-completer
  endif
endfunction
Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': function('YCMInstall') }

I'm testing reinstalling YCM right now. As soon as is finished I'll tell you if there were some problem. (And as soon as I can I will try to test the !pyeval( 'base.CompatibleWithYcmCore()' part )

vim-plug does that submodule thing on update, it was actually added because of the request from a user of YCM. @vheon, thanks for doing the test! Did you have any issue? (I'm currently on an old MacBook which will suffer if I tried to install YCM.)

I just added Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': './install.sh' } and tried :PlugInstall, and I didn't run into any error.

I suggest that you try the bang-version of the command so that the install script is executed even when the plugin is not updated:

:PlugUpdate! YouCompleteMe

I'm actually having trouble installing it from scratch but is my shitty internet connection 😢 As soon as I test it correctly I will report if I had some real trouble connected to vim-plug.

To summarize:

• vim-plug already does git submodule update --init --recursive on installation/update
• To retry: :PlugUpdate! YouCompleteMe

Just wanted to point out that this is still an issue it seems.

Installing or updating from did not work for me.
It showed an error that a bundle was missing or somesuch.

When I went into the YCM folder and ran install.sh manually, it showed the "empty folders" error.

Running the bang version fixed it, though.
