* Vim gives error message since 8.2.3755-1 [not found] <982613274.886853.1658711514654.ref@mail.yahoo.com> @ 2022-07-25 1:11 ` Thomas DiModica 2022-07-25 2:52 ` René Berber 2022-07-25 9:37 ` marco atzeri 0 siblings, 2 replies; 5+ messages in thread From: Thomas DiModica @ 2022-07-25 1:11 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin Since 8.2.3755-1, Vim has given me an error message about being unable to open the defaults.vim file whenever I open a file with vi. I do not see this message with 8.2.0486-1. Notably, vi --version for the last two updates tell me that the user vimrc file is "/home/Marco/.virc", rather than "$HOME/.virc". Possibly, the problem is that I'm the only person who actually uses vi to do simple tasks who doesn't customize it to death. Anyway, it's a nuisance to me, probably will be mysterious to others.

[snip] Depends on what you are really using, my vim is the alias of vi, and the "user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc", not .virc $ which vi /usr/bin/vi $ type vi vi is aliased to `vim' $ vi --version VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Feb 13 2022 22:15:51) ... system vimrc file: "/etc/vimrc" user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc" 2nd user vimrc file: "~/.vim/vimrc" user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc" defaults file: "$VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim" ... My guess is that one of those files have changed things up. Also I think vim detects that it was called with an alias, and may behave differently. -- R.B. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'm confident that eventually it will get to us. Meanwhile, I found that if you simply create an empty ~/.exrc, the bug is avoided.
