"No filetype support" error in VIM 9 on Mac0S 12.16.1 (Monterey)
Closed this issue · 5 comments
I assumed this was setup/config problem rather than a bug, but maybe a bug.
I installed the chrisbra cvs.vim plugin (csv-0.31.vmb) on MacOS 12.16.1 running VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0.
When I open any .csv file I get this error message twice, and of course the plugin doesn't work correctly:
CSV Syntax:No filetype support, only simple highlighting using, as delimiter! See :h csv-installation
CSV Syntax:No filetype support, only simple highlighting using, as delimiter! See :h csv-installation
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Then after typing ENTER I get more errors:
CSV Syntax:Invalid column pattern, using default pattern \%([^,]*,\|$\)
CSV: No delimiter found. See :h csv-delimiter to set it manually!
CSV: No delimiter found. See :h csv-delimiter to set it manually!
CSV: No delimiter found. See :h csv-delimiter to set it manually!
Troubleshooting:
Google search (and stack overflow) says the first error is caused by not having :filetype plugin on in my ~/.vimrc. But I DO have that set. I did not see any other causes for this error.
Eventually I installed the same package on a RedHat Linux host which has VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4. The plug in works there, on identical .csv file that failed on MacOS. So I conclude the .csv file is not the problem.
I even replaced the .vimrc and .vim/ file & directory on my Mac with the ones from Linux, so that I am comparing identical .csv file and identical .vim* configurations. I still get the errors on my Mac.
Maybe there is a problem with VIM 9.0? I searched the cvs.vim Issues and found someone using VIM 9 and reporting a minor bug, but the plugin was working for them, so seems like it should work for me.
Is there a problem with csv.vim and VIM 9? Or with MacOS?
I've also gone so far as to mimic the calculation that the ftplugin/csv.vim does when it reports the error, but my hand commands give the correct result.
Code from the pulugin:
" First:
" Check for filetype plugin. This syntax script relies on the filetype
" plugin, else, it won't work properly.
redir => s:a |sil filetype | redir end
let s:a=split(s:a, "\n")[0]
if match(s:a, '\cplugin:off') > 0
call <sid>Warning("No filetype support, only simple highlighting using"
\ . s:del_def . " as delimiter! See :h csv-installation")
endif
And my running the commands by hand:
:redir => scott |sil filetype | redir end
:echoerr scott
^@filetype detection:ON plugin:ON indent:OFF
:let scott1 = split(scott, "\n")[0]
:echoerr scott1
filetype detection:ON plugin:ON indent:OFF
:echoerr match(scott1, '\cplugin:off')
-1
:echoerr match(scott1, 'plugin:ON')
23
:echoerr match(scott1, '\cplugin:on')
23
So, -1 means no match, and \c means case-insensitive
And the test
if match(s:a, '\cplugin:off') > 0
should return -1, because there is no match
Lastly, full ":version" of the two VIM programs I'm using.

can you please mention, how you installed it?
Hello,
same error, with Vim 9 on Windows 10.
I installed it with Pathogen.
Same with vim 8.2.5117 under MSYS2.
CSV Syntax:No filetype support, only simple highlighting using, as delimiter! See :h csv-installation
CSV Syntax:No filetype support, only simple highlighting using, as delimiter! See :h csv-installation
Premi INVIO o un comando per proseguire
Then
CSV Syntax:Invalid column pattern, using default pattern \%([^,]*,\|$\)
CSV Syntax:Or ftplugin hasn't been sourced before the syntax script
but next to this the file is displayed correctly, with colors, vartabstop and all the stuffs.
do you have the :syn on before the ´:filetype` command in your vimrc? See also the plugins help: https://github.com/chrisbra/csv.vim/blob/master/doc/ft-csv.txt#L1741-L1765
You are right. I fixed the statement's order and now it works fine!
I'm really sorry. It's my fault. I read the doc, but reading the installation seciion I was sure I did everything.
Sometimes good and exhaustive documentaion could be to much to read. But don't get me wrong, too much docs is better than too little. :-)
no problem. Everything fine, no reason to apologize :)
Glad to hear it is solved.
