Tagbar empty about tagbar HOT 2 CLOSED

Tagbar doesn't use tag files (it reads the ctags output with a pipe), so whatever is causing the tag file to be created has nothing to do with Tagbar.

What do you mean by 'forcing' Tagbar open? Using TagbarOpen? So it doesn't open with TagbarToggle, but it does open with TagbarOpen? That sounds quite odd.

If the Tagbar window is empty the most common case is that the filetype of the current file isn't set correctly. What kind of file are you trying to edit? The best way to proceed would probably be to use Tagbar's debug commands (see :h tagbar-commands). Open Vim with the file you want to edit, call TagbarDebug, open Tagbar, and then quit Vim. That should leave you with a file tagbardebug.log in the current directory that you can look at and/or paste here (or send me directly if it's too long).

Ah, the debug was a very good help. The path to the ctags was wrong in my MacVim and it used an corrupted version that crashes when using it. It's now working.

Thanks!
