On new plugin install, display gets stuck on "Cloning into..."

[sts10]

I'm running Neovim on iTerm2. Neovim --version gives NVIM v0.1.0-144-gda9cf04 (compiled Nov 30 2015 20:54:54).

When I add a new plugin to my symlinked .vimrc and run :PlugInstall in Neovim, the new plugin installs successfully, but my displays ends up on the following:

Updated. Elapsed time: 1.231175 sec.

- vim-visual-star-search: Already installed

Which to me looks like vim-plug got hung up trying to clone vim-repeat.

After running this :PlugInstall there is now a vim-repeat directory in my ~/.vim/plugged directory, and if I start Neovim again and run :PlugInstall again, is says - vim-repeat: Already installed, so I'm assuming it actually installed. But the display saying "Cloning..." that first time is a bit concerning. It feels like it should display something like "Installed successfully" if/when the new plugin is installed?

I am also experiencing the same issue running neovim.

@sts10 & @kennykaye I just want to confirm, you are in fact fully starting neovim then doing a command like PlugInstall to get this? I just ask this to ensure you aren't using the python installer which we've hooked up for starting commands. The latter would require a different investigation naturally.

If that's the case then I'm not sure what the issue is, ran some trials and neovim installers seems well behaved. for me on Linux @vheon Do you mind testing latest nvim on iterm just to see if its a mac issue?

[sts10]

Not at my machine atm, but I can tell you I'm running OS X (Yosemite I'm pretty sure), and I do not have a Python installer, nor have I installed YouCompleteMe or the necessary Python stuff to do that. I just fire up nvim from iTerm2 (nightly) and run :PlugInstall.

I'll re-install to latest Neovim version and do this again tonight and see it if it's still happening. Thanks for your response!

[junegunn]

I was unable to reproduce the exact problem on nvim 0.1.0 on el capitan (brew install neovim/neovim/neovim). Though PlugUpdate seems to output several lines concatenated for each plugin which is not what we intended.

• PlugInstall
  
• PlugUpdate
  

/cc @tarruda

[tarruda]

@junegunn can you see if this issue is related and helps?

[junegunn]

@tarruda Yes, it was related and I noticed that nvim installer needed update. Thanks!

@sts10 @kennykaye I'm not completely sure if the fix above is related to the issue you're having (it's strange that the installer finished without updating the line starting with + in @kennykaye's comment), but please update and see if it helps.

[sts10]

Just checked-- I've got OS X 10.10.5.

Just now I ran brew update then brew reinstall --HEAD neovim, as I usually do to update Neovim:

  fall-back for $VIM: "/usr/local/Cellar/neovim/HEAD/share/nvim"

Then, after firing up Neovim, I ran :PlugUpgrade. Then I ran through the following steps. Hope they're helpful:

I started by commenting out Plug 'tmhedberg/matchit' in my symlinked .vimrc, restarting Neovim, and running :PlugClean. That seems to have worked as expected:

Searching for unused plugins in /Users/samschlinkert/.vim/plugged
[===============]

- /Users/samschlinkert/.vim/plugged/matchit/
Removed.

I also confirmed that there was no longer a directory for matchit in ~/.vim/plugged.

Back to my .vimrc to put the line Plug 'tmhedberg/matchit' back in (uncomment it). I saved the file, quit and restarted Neovim, then ran :PlugInstall. Still seeing this:

Updated. Elapsed time: 2.250007 sec.

After this I used rm to remove .vim/autoload/plug.vim and plug.old.vim, re-installed plug-vim with the curl command, and repeated the whole process above. I got the same output from :PlugInstall: - matchit: Cloning into '/Users/samschlinkert/.vim/plugged/matchit'....

Then, thinking maybe my test was flawed if :PlugClean hadn't fully uninstalled the matchit plugin, I added Plug 'scrooloose/syntastic', a plugin I'm pretty sure I've never installed before, and ran :PlugInstall but I still got - syntastic: Cloning into '/Users/samschlinkert/.vim/plugged/syntastic'...

Lastly (and this may help) I did the test using MacVim (version 7.4 (82)) and got the same output.

One thing to note is that these lines with "Cloning" start with a - for me, rather than a +, as @kennykaye describes. Not sure if that means we have different problems or not.

Also I have RVM installed. I know you have to install vim using system Ruby to use vim-plug, so I ran rvm use system then re-installed Neovim and did the test again, but that didn't change anything.

@sts10 Can you test again with this small patch for debugging?

@sts10 Ah, sorry for not being obvious. Execute the command in the directory where plug.vim is located. Since you're testing neovim, cd ~/.config/nvim/autoload

Got it. Here's the result of running the patch line:

I'm happy to do the same process for :PlugInstall, which is where I get the "Cloning..." thing.

[junegunn]

@sts10 Thanks, but :PlugUpdate also installs missing plugins so it should be essentially the same as :PlugInstall. Please remove some plugins and try :PlugInstall or :PlugUpdate so we can see what's going on when you get the output. By the way, which version of git do you have? git --version

[sts10]

Note that before doing this I updated both Neovim and vim-plug. nvim --version now gives:
