Variable name typo vs. the HyperSpec offline about slimv HOT 5 CLOSED

No, this is not a typo. The hyperspec (api documentation) is defined per language, so g:slimv_clhs_root is defined/accessed for lisp in slimv-lisp.vim and g:slimv_cljapi_root is defined for clojure in slimv-clojure.vim. In the (mostly) language independent code slimv.vim there should be no language specific api definition accessed, it is handled by the language specific SlimvHyperspecLookup() function.

Actually g:slimv_hs_root is a leftover from earlier slimv versions and as I see currently it is used as a general hyperspec root for other languages.

Let's focus instead on the error message you got. Could you please tell me what was your exact variable definition and what error message you got?

from slimv.

This configuration in ~/.vim/ftplugin/lisp.vim (it is the same thing if it is in ~/.vimrc, or if I replace the ~ with the home folder):

let g:slimv_clhs_root="~/tmp/HyperSpec/Body/"

Causes this error in vim, when the cursor on top of a standard function/etc, and documentation is invoked:

Error detected while processing function SlimvHyperspec..SlimvLookup:
line   28:
E121: Undefined variable: g:slimv_hs_root
E116: Invalid arguments for function exists( g:slimv_hs_root )
E15: Invalid expression: match( symbol[1], ':' ) < 0 && exists( g:slimv_hs_root )
line   40:
E121: Undefined variable: page
E15: Invalid expression: '! ' . g:slimv_browser_cmd . ' ' . page . ' ' . g:slimv_browser_cmd_suffix

Removing the let g:slimv_clhs_root everything works properly, but the online spec is accessed (which is what I wanted to avoid).

Ah, thanks, now I see what the problem is: g:slimv_hs_root is not enclosed in quotes.
Could you please check that you change this line (line 3175):

        if match( symbol[1], ':' ) < 0 && exists( g:slimv_hs_root )

to this:

        if match( symbol[1], ':' ) < 0 && exists( 'g:slimv_hs_root' )

and keep your let g:slimv_clhs_root settings in your .vimrc. Does it solve the problem?

from slimv.

Yes it did! Yay :D

OK, thanks for the test. I committed the fix in 97932fc
