Describe the bug
For a random certain file, it appears that the plugin is loaded and the tags file is regenerated once I enter vim, but the tags file is never loaded into vim to be used. Using g:gutentags_trace=1 in the case does not produce any error, nor produces anything different than in a normal case.
Steps to reproduce
- access certain random file in the project
- :echo tagfile(), gets []; try ctrl+[, fails
- but it works on almost every other file in the project
Share your setup
- ubuntu 18.04
- Exuberant Ctags 5.9~svn20110310
- Are you using
g:gutentags_cache_dir
? YES
Post the logs
- Run
:let g:gutentags_trace = 1
. - Reproduce the bug.
- Run
:messages
and show the messages that Gutentags posted. - does not produce any error, nor produces anything different than in a normal case (on almost every other file in the project).
Additional context
the problem happens on different projects, in each case of which there is a certain file that causes the failure while all other files work just fine.

finally found out it is due to wrong setups in viewdir.
