E605: Exception not caught: NERDTree.InvalidArgumentsError

[mpfusion]

Steps to reproduce

My .vimrc:

set nocompatible
filetype plugin indent on
let g:NERDTreeQuitOnOpen = 1
let g:NERDTreeChDirMode  = 2

Execute:

cd
mkdir /tmp/somedir
touch /tmp/somedir/somefile
vim

From within vim:

:cd /tmp/somedir
:NERDTreeFind
<cr>j<cr> to open somefile
:bd
:NERDTreeFind

The following error is thrown:

NERDTree: 1 file(s) could not be loaded into the NERD tree
Error detected while processing function nerdtree#findAndRevealPath..149:

E605: Exception not caught: NERDTree.InvalidArgumentsError: /tmp should be under /

I am also experiencing the same problem (although my use-case is different).

Also reported at #256.

@scrooloose: you alive man? Any friends of him know if he's ok? The last twitter post I could find on him was over a year ago, the blog linked to on gh is even later.

[ashishgandhi]

@tony His last public commit on GitHub was this Jan. Maybe he doesn't tweet or blog anymore. https://github.com/PlayMob/playmob_home_locomotive_engine/commits?author=scrooloose

#311

Unfortunatelly, he does not support this product..

[tony]

I sent him a mail. My gut tell me he's working and even on gh, just not with public commits. On that note @PlayMob would know for sure. They should consider sponsoring him some time for his plugs

[Shougo]

I think the collaborators are needed like Vundle.

[ashishgandhi]

Wait what?! Vundle isn't being supported? I just moved everything from Pathogen for nothing?! 😞

[Shougo]

No. Vundle is supported by collaborators. But the original author have not much time to support.

[Shougo]

In snipMate, the development is chaotic. A lot of forks confuse users.
So, I think the collaborators are better.

[chrischoy]

Experiencing the same problem. However, if you

sudo vim

It doesn't complain anymore. Probably one of the ownership might have mixed up.

[PhilRunninger]

I can't reproduce this. Is this still happening for anyone else?

[tony]

I likely either

• a. worked around it
• b. stopped having it due to it being fixed
• c. system config settings changed since

i'm ok with closing unless it flairs up again

[mkhuda]

This error sometimes occurs when I save the markdown file .md.

@zoumi, This should be fixed by PR #1122.
