Not working with vim under Ubuntu 18.04

[Eric97]

After installing the plugin with plug, all the arduino commands cannot be invoked either in Vim or NeoVim. The default arduino_cmd is installed at /usr/local/bin/arduino.

When you say "cannot be invoked", what is actually happening? And please post the output of :ArduinoInfo if you can.

[Eric97]

:ArduinoInfo and the other :Ardu* commands are not recognized as valid editor commands.
:help arduino can display the help document though.

[stevearc]

Ah, the commands are defined in the ftplugin file https://github.com/stevearc/vim-arduino/blob/master/ftplugin/arduino.vim

It's possible that the files you're editing aren't properly recognized. The ftdetect rules live here: https://github.com/stevearc/vim-arduino/blob/master/ftdetect/arduino.vim

Try doing a :se ft? to check the detected filetype. If it's not set to arduino then that would explain it, and then we can figure out why the detection isn't working.

Thanks. After opening the .ino file in vim, then the commands can work with the correct file type detected!
