:Gwrite crashes, fails to write buffer, and adds all changes in working directory

[tobanw]

I just updated my vim plugins after probably a few months and now I'm getting this error when trying to write and add with :Gw

"~/.../working-dir/"
Error detected while processing function <SNR>23_Write:
line    77:
E502: "~/.../working-dir/" is a directory

The buffer doesn't even get written, and all changes in the pwd get added (even untracked files).

What is :echo fugitive#buffer().path()?

[tobanw]

It's blank on the two trouble files I tested with, but now I'm trying other files and it shows the filename.

I'm wondering if there's a conflict with ranger (a terminal-based filemanager), because the bug shows up when I launch vim from ranger, but not when I launch vim from the command line.

Could also be related to symlink tomfoolery,

Yes, perhaps -- all my files are in one main (soft) symlinked directory.

Ok, it's on you to figure out what's going on. I pushed up a proper error message for when it happens.

[n10v]

Same issue

[tpope]

Same response

[n10v]

I haven't got any symlinks in project
In :echo fugitive#buffer().path() there is a path of my file

[tpope]

So are you getting the exact same error message?

[n10v]

Not exactly the same

I type :Gwrite .
fugitive says: fugitive: file has uncommitted changes (use ! to override)

I type :Gwrite! .
fugitive says:

~/nehm
Error detecting while processing function <SNR>50_Write:
line 80:
E502: "~/nehm" is a directory
Press ENTER or type command to continue

P.S. ~/nehm is a root directory of my project

[tpope]

Why are you passing a dot?

[n10v]

To add all project
I thought that :Gwrite . is the same as git add .

[n10v]

Or how to add all project?

[glittershark]

:Git add .

[n10v]

Ok. Thanks @glittershark and @tpope
Problem solved
