Installation on OS X

[jaytaylor]

The install lists pathogen as "todo". Is it not yet ready?

When I try to run :CurPkg, I get:

You are not in a go package

[volgar1x]

You successfully installed vim-gocode through pathogen, it seems to be a bug at first sight. Can you run the command

:echo ReadLink(g:gocode_path)

And then

:echo ReadLink(@%)

And tell me the output?

[jaytaylor]

:echo ReadLink(g:gocode_path)

E121: Undefined variable: g:gocode_path E116: Invalid arguments for function ReadLink(g:gocode_path) E15: Invalid expression: ReadLink(g:gocode_path)

:echo ReadLink(@%)

readlink: illegal option -- f usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]

Other miscellaneous info: this is on a MacBook Air with a fresh install of OS-X 10.8.4 and a case-sensitive filesystem.

I haven't tested this plugin on other system than Linux. Could you please edit the ReadLink function inside vim-gocode/ftplugin/go/pkg.vim to make it works (ie get the full path) on your OS ?
Other question : have you installed Go? VIM can't echo any g:gocode_path variable which is a sign that 'go env GOPATH' didn't work.

[jaytaylor]

I will update the readlink fn. go is definitely installed with good GOPATH and GOROOT env vars.

Hopefully together we can get this to be compatible with Mac.

Best,
Jay

I found a good starting point to use readlink on OS X : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1055671/how-can-i-get-the-behavior-of-gnus-readlink-f-on-a-mac

[macb]

Might I recommend making a note that it currently doesn't work on osx? Spent a while beating myself over the head until I checked the issues.

[macb]

Also, as a solution for future mac users:

brew install coreutils
ln /usr/local/bin/greadlink /usr/local/bin/readlink

maybe re-source profile. (I had to get which readlink to return the correct path)

[JohnAmican]

@SeanBr nice job, gave a solution an hour before I went looking for it!

[JohnAmican]

Also FYI things start breaking if there are spaces in folder names. I'll open up an issue about it later.

[volgar1x]

I renamed this issue "Installation on OS X", created a wiki article and linked it in the README. Tell me if I have done anything wrong.

[oguzbilgic]

I get the same You are not in a go package error on both OS X and ubuntu 13.

[volgar1x]

Can you please execute the commands that I previously wrote?

[bilby91]

I'm having the same issue, already executed both commands and no luck.

[volgar1x]

What is exactly the output ?

[bilby91]

:echo ReadLink(g:gocode_path)

E121: Undefined variable: g:gocode_path
E116: Invalid arguments for function ReadLink(g:gocode_path)
E15: Invalid expression: ReadLink(g:gocode_path) 

:echo ReadLink(@%)
