I have updated vimwiki, the errors still here.

Please :

• :echom vimwiki#base#is_diary_file(@%)
• :debug call vimwiki#base#is_diary_file(@%)

In the debugging section, try to copy ans paste here the content of l:diary_file_paths; l:normalised_file_paths and l:matching_files . Once you get all that, the (our) error may appear obvious. As many things are chinese on your computer, I suspect this is some regular expression that is not supporting some Chinese chars. Are all your path ASCII ?

@ChenWeird did b1de908 solved the issue ?

[VimWei]

I've updated vimwiki to:

Os: Windows
Vim: 802
Branch: dev

Revision: 0693e41

Date: 2020-08-06 17:04:58 -0400

But still can't generate links:

:VimwikiGenerateLinks

Error detected while processing function Redir#redir[11]..vimwiki#base#generate_links[48]..vimwiki#base#update_listing_in_buffer[84]..4[11]..vimwiki#base#is_diary_file:

Error detected while processing function Redir#redir[11]..vimwiki#base#generate_links[48]..vimwiki#base#update_listing_in_buffer:
line   84:

And I notice that there's "Simon's_Anki_学习计划.md" but not the message "s_Anki_学习计划.md".

[tinmarino]

My bad, I thought it was fixed

[tinmarino]

And I notice that there's "Simon's_Anki_学习计划.md" but not the message "s_Anki_学习计划.md".

Ahhhhhh ! The ' ! Easy to solve now, of course, this line ...

vimwiki/autoload/vimwiki/base.vim

Lines 2568 to 2569 in aa628f8

	let l:matching_files =
	\ filter(l:normalised_file_paths, "v:val ==# '" . a:filename . "'" )

... should escape the '

[tinmarino]

Finally reproducing it ! Sorry for being so annoying (not helpful) on this issue: I had to:

1. Get a file name Simon's_Anki_学习计划.md in the root
2. Get at least one diary file (otherwise, there is not work done)

Not related to Windows

Fixed: 4aa3ca5

Escaping the single quote wich is the only one that must be escaped: from :h expr-'

This string is taken as it is.  No backslashes are removed or have a special
meaning.  The only exception is that two quotes stand for one quote.

I let you close it if it is really solved (as I wrongly closed it 3 times ... [sorry for that by the way])

[VimWei]

Now :VimwikiGenerateLinks are not output blank, but there are something wrong:

[tinmarino]

This last issue is much more complex to solved: See #478 : we should first make tests work on windows, this will take time (months, years). Sorry

[chinwobble]

+1 I'm having the same issue where :VimwikiGenerateLinks doesn't work on Windows. It generates full paths.
