E495 No autocommand file and W22 text found after endfunction

[reini-1]

I use editorconfig-vim installed with Plug and get some errors with the plugin:

$ echo q | /usr/bin/vim -u ~/.vimrc -U NONE -i NONE -V1 -nNes
not found in 'runtimepath': "ftdetect/*.vim"
not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/start/matchit"
not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/start/*"
not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/start/*"
not found in 'runtimepath': "plugin/**/*.vim"
Error detected while processing VimEnter Autocommands for "*"..function <SNR>26_UseConfigFiles:
line    6:
E495: No autocommand file name to substitute for "<afile>"
Entering Ex mode.  Type "visual" to go to Normal mode.
:q

I think this is in the code somewhere here: https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-vim/blob/master/plugin/editorconfig.vim#L214 and happens if vim is opened without a file to edit given.

When giving a file this error is gone but then there is another:

echo q | /usr/bin/vim -u ~/.vimrc -U NONE -i NONE -V1 -nNes test.txt
not found in 'runtimepath': "ftdetect/*.vim"
not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/start/matchit"
not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/start/*"
not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/start/*"
not found in 'runtimepath': "plugin/**/*.vim"
"test.txt" [New]
not found in 'runtimepath': "indent/text.vim"
W22: Text found after :endfunction: !
Entering Ex mode.  Type "visual" to go to Normal mode.
:q

I think this comes from https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-vim/blob/master/autoload/editorconfig_core/ini.vim#L193
When I remove the "!", the message is gone.

I come across this problems because I use topgrade-rs to update my system and the vim update failed so I tried to find out what the problem is.

Maybe you can fix this.

Thanks in advance.

[bdarfler]

Same issue. In the meantime, I've reverted to commit 7f4e4df.

[cxw42]

Thanks for reporting!

I agree the endfunction shouldn't have a bang. PRs welcome! I'll make the change when I can if no one beats me to it :) .

The weird part is that, i could only reproduce this error when using -V1 flag when starting vim, like this (using the included package in vim):

vim -V1 +'packadd editorconfig'

We could solve the error:

Error detected while processing VimEnter Autocommands for "*"..function <SNR>26_UseConfigFiles:
line    6:
E495: No autocommand file name to substitute for "<afile>"

using <amatch> instead of <afile>. To test the difference we can use this autocmd:

augroup afile_amatch
  autocmd!
  autocmd VimEnter *
        \ echom 'afile fullpath file: ' . expand('<afile>:p') |
        \ echom 'afile fullpath directory: ' . expand('<afile>:p:h') |
        \ echom 'amatch fullpath file: ' . expand('<amatch>:p') |
        \ echom 'amatch fullpath directory: ' . expand('<amatch>:p:h')
augroup END

and then open vim without a file and use :mes to check the echo message.

The problem if we use <amatch> is that the l:buffer_name won't be empty and if we open the unnamed buffer, it will get rejected on this condition first:

    " Only process normal buffers (do not treat help files as '.txt' files)
    " When starting Vim with a directory, the buftype might not yet be set:
    " Therefore, also check if buffer_name is a directory.
    if index(['', 'acwrite'], &buftype) == -1 || isdirectory(l:buffer_name)
        return
    endif

because expand('<amatch>:p') return current working directory in unnamed buffer.

So this condition won't be run if we use <amatch> and open unnamed buffer:

    if empty(l:buffer_name)
        if g:EditorConfig_enable_for_new_buf
            let l:buffer_name = getcwd() . "/."
        else
            if g:EditorConfig_verbose
                echo 'Skipping EditorConfig for unnamed buffer'
            endif
            return
        endif
    endif

Btw, I'll make a PR to remove bang at endfunction after this :)
