Running PlugClean in nvim from Git Bash fails.

[daxgames]

Error happens when running :PlugClean in nvim from Git Bash on Windows.

Note: Git Bash is part of a portable Git for Windows 'install' and nvim was installed using Chocolatey.

Answering y just as a test, because all these plugins are indeed installed.

It works correctly if running in a cmd.exe or powershell.exe shells.

My plug block is modular and not in a single file.  I could manufacture one if you like.

What is the output of :echo [&shell, &shellcmdflag, &shellredir]?

Run this from Git for Windows Portable to recreate:

[junegunn]

I suspect the values are inconsistent, because bash doesn't support /s or /c, they are options of cmd.exe. Do you manually override the &shell value in your configuration file? Does a simple command like :echo system('git --help') work in Vim?

[daxgames]

I do not override the shell and I don't know where those command line arguments come from because literally all I do is double click on git-bash.exe.

It's not really that big a deal I just noticed it so I reported it

[junegunn]

I mean the failure seems to have been caused by the incorrect &shellcmdflag value, so I wanted to check if that's really the case by checking if a simple system call outside of vim-plug works, i.e. :echo system('git --help').

[daxgames]

No :echo system('git --help') does not work either.

I also found This:

neovim/neovim#21148

and this:

neovim/neovim#16957

I added this to my ~/.vimrc:

if has("win32")
  set clipboard=unnamedplus
  set shell=cmd.exe
endif

Now all is fine.

I have release patched version using shell '-c'. You can test in git bash or cmd or powershell. https://github.com/lsq/vim-mingw64-installer
