vimrc

This .vimrc is a good basic set of utilities to get your vim editor in to a state that is very useful for developing puppet manifests and modules. It maintains a set of defaults that I find useful as well.

OS X Installation

1. You first need to install brew

   ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   

2. Get your PATH set up right and place the following in your ~/.profile.

   export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH:
   

   Once you do this, close all your shells/terminals and reopen

3. You then need to install macvim to get the YouCompleteMe plugin working. Don't worry, if you symlink the binary to vim/vi it won't load a gui

   brew install macvim
   

4. Link vim to the macvim binary

   cd /usr/local/bin
   ln -s mvim vim
   ln -s mvim vi
   

Once you do this, close all your shells/terminals and reopen

5. Get Vundle all set up

   mkdir ~/.vim/bundle
   git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
   

6. Create your ~/.vimrc file using the .vimrc from this repo or if you're a pro, you can manually cobble it together.

   vim ~/.vimrc
   

7. Exit vim, reload it, and run :PluginInstall

   #<in vim> :q
   vim ~/.vimrc
   #<in vim> :PluginInstall
   
   # or from the command line
   vim +PluginInstall +qall
   

8. Once it's done its PluginInstall, exit vim, and compile YouCompleteMe.
 You will see an error message generated by YouCompleteMe before you compile
 the requisite portion.

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/ ./install.sh --clang-completer

9. Install the appropriate linters and software for python, puppet, ruby, yaml

pip install flake8 gem install puppet gem install hiera-eyaml gem install puppet-lint gem install ruby-lint npm install -g js-yaml

10. You're ready to work with puppet!
