not work on Mac OSX Mavericks

[dalang]

It works well on my Mac when it runs Mac OSX Mountain Lion. After update to Mavericks, vim-instant-markdown not work proper.

It will still open a new tab with uri: http://localhost:8090/ each time I open a markdown file in vi. But the new tab displays nothing.

I have tried to reinstall vim-instant-markdown, including rubygem and npm. But nothing changes.

Here is my environment:
OS: Marvericks
ruby: 1.9.3
npm: 1.2.2
rubygem: 1.8.23

I just upgraded to Mavericks myself, using the system Ruby (2.0.0p247), system Rubygems (2.0.3), and npm version 1.2.21 I installed the plugin and its dependencies and everything seems to work for me...

[dalang]

I found the solution in #24 . After adding set shell=bash\ -i in my vimrc, everything works fine again. In addition, I use rbenv to manage my ruby versions.
It's odd because when my Mac was on Mountain Lion, my vimrc without set shell=bash\ -i have no problem in using vim-instant-markdown. I do not know why I have to update my vimrc when on Mavericks.

Is your default shell not bash? If that's the case I think vim generally recommends to include the set shell command in your vimrc for maximum plugin compatibility

Thanks for your recommendation. Yes I use zsh as my default shell. Maybe you can add this info to the README FAQ

It works 100% with stock Ruby 2.0 in Mavericks and homebrew's node install, and my default shell is zsh, with this said, there are no traces of rvm setup in .bashrc, .zshrc, .profile.

i'm running fish on mavericks. had a bunch of weird permissions errors on /var/private/folders. adding the set shell=bash\ -i fixed it and everything is working great.

[suan]

Hmmm, I wonder if changing this line in instant-markdown-d to #!/usr/bin/env bash would remove the need for the set shell line. @mquinnv or @dalang, would you mind trying to change that line, remove the set shell line in your .vimrc, and see whether it works? You could also try changing it to #!/usr/bin/env node

no luck. tried both bash and node. same behavior:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>27_pushMarkdown..<SNR>27_startDaemon..<SNR>27_system: line 4: E484: Can't open file /var/folders/d1/l0h68xfs1yb_hhb5qjf3r55r0000gq/T/v7S8hAF/1 Error detected while processing function <SNR>27_refreshView..<SNR>27_system: line 4: E484: Can't open file /var/folders/d1/l0h68xfs1yb_hhb5qjf3r55r0000gq/T/v7S8hAF/3

I've updated the FAQ with this suggestion for future reference - closing since original issue seems to be resolved.

[dalang]

I have just tried, not work on my mac neither.

+1, I'm running OSX 10.9 with zsh & rvm, installed npm using homebrew. I tried setting the default shell to bash using set shell=bash\ -i It doesn't work. Even if it did work, I don't think I would be satisfied as I've got other dependencies on zsh.

[danxshap]

I'm on OS X 10.9.1, npm 1.3.11, ruby 2.0.0p247, rubygems 2.0.3. Not using rvm & i use bash.

i added set shell=bash\ -i to vimrc

only seeing a blank browser window =\

[davidmh]

If you want to keep using another shell in vim, you can set shell to bash only for markdown files, with:

au FileType markdown setl shell=bash\ -i

[lynndylanhurley]

I've followed all of the instructions and I'm still getting a blank browser window. What is the best way to debug this problem?

[danxshap]

@lynndylanhurley see my more recent comment in #31

I actually needed to remove set shell=bash\ -i and then re-install all dependencies. Not sure what was causing problems before but I'm good now. Hope it works for you too.

[damionvega]

Upgraded to Mavericks and was getting the blank browser window also. This worked for me:

Uninstall:

npm uninstall -g instant-markdown-d
sudo gem uninstall redcarpet
sudo gem uninstall pygments.rb

if you're using RVM, use gem install and NOT sudo gem install

Fix owner and group to fix permissions to install without sudo:

sudo chown -R mbp:staff ~/.rvm
sudo chown -R mbp:staff ~/.gem

Reinstall dependencies:

gem install redcarpet pygments.rb
npm install -g instant-markdown-d

Did not include set shell=bash\ -i
Finally, restart your computer

Specs:
OSX 10.9.4
NPM 1.4.20
Ruby 2.0.0p247 (using RVM)
