'gf' leads to error E345 can't find file "<Plug>User.find_by_email" in path

[Feuda]

user = User.find_by_email(email) #rails code

'gf' on the word 'User', it occured

E345 can't find file "<Plug>User.find_by_email" in path

Any ideas?

[tpope]

Check :verb cmap <Plug><cfile>.

[Feuda]

@tpope ouput as
c <Plug><cfile> &@rails#cfile() Last set from ~/.vim/bundle/vim-rails/autoload/rails.vim Press ENTER or type command to continue
after running:verb cmap <Plug><cfile>

[tpope]

That's correct. Can you check :verb nmap gf? Edit: And :verb nmap <Plug>RailsFind.

Also go ahead and report your exact Vim version.

[Feuda]

:verb nmap gf outputs

:verb nmap <Plug>RailsFind outputs

vim --version outputs

[tpope]

I'm running out of ideas. Can you check what <C-R><C-F> does on the : command line? It should insert user.rb, but if it fails like gf it will insert <Plug>User.find_by_email. Go ahead and check :cmap <C-R><C-F> while you're at it.

I have same problem. I check what you ask from @Feuda and my output same as him. But i did not understand your last request, @tpope. Forgive me, it just have been 1 weeks using vim.

I did try this command but :<C-R><C-F> it gaves an error: E488: Trailing characters

:cmap <C-R><C-F> outputs:
c <C-R><C-F> @<Plug><cfile>

[tpope]

Press CTRL-R CTRL-F on the command line.

The maps all look fine, so I think it's just an issue with the actual logic to determine the the filename. Can you try again on the latest? I've fixed a lot of bugs in that area. You can also check :echo rails#ruby_cfile() to make sure that matches up with the destination file.

Okay, that <Plug> in there is definitely something different happening. Can you report on these again?

verbose cmap <Plug><cfile>
verbose nmap gf

Okay, I said "something different" but after re-reading your original issue it is the same thing. What's supposed to happen is gf expands to :find <Plug><cfile> and <Plug><cfile> expands to the return value of rails#ruby_cfile(). But that second expansion isn't happening, and instead :find substitutes the raw filename under the cursor for <cfile>, hence <Plug>Account.account_types.

Since something is going horribly wrong with map expansion, I'm inclined to have you check these related options:

:verbose set timeout? timeoutlen? ttimeout? ttimeoutlen?
