Troubleshooting

These steps might help to determine if an issue is related to your setup/configuration or if the problem is a bug in Vimwiki.

1. Clone a fresh copy of the dev branch.

       cd $HOME
       mkdir vw_tmp
       cd vw_tmp
       git clone -b dev --single-branch https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki.git
   

2. Create a minimal vimrc (you should still be in $HOME/vw_tmp)
   • vim min_vimrc
   • Paste the below text into the opened file. Add any additional Vimwiki settings that are relevant to the issue being tested but keep in minimal!

         set nocompatible
         filetype plugin on
         syntax on
         set runtimepath+=~/vw_tmp/vimwiki
         let wiki = {}
         let wiki.path = '~/vw_tmp/wiki'
         let wiki.path_html = '~/vw_tmp/wiki/html'
         let wiki.syntax = 'default'
         let wiki.ext = '.wiki'
         let g:vimwiki_list = [wiki]
     

3. Start vim using the min_vimrc
   • vim -u min_vimrc
4. Open up Vimwiki (\ww) and verify the issue still occurs.
