highlight group not found: Normal about vim-indent-guides HOT 6 CLOSED

adding
colorscheme default
to .vimrc
SOLVED the problem for me.

Sounds like you're not using a colorscheme, or your colorscheme isn't defining colours for the Normal highlight group.

Try using a different colorscheme, or manually defining the indent guide colours:

let g:indent_guides_auto_colors = 0
hi IndentGuidesOdd  guibg=red   ctermbg=3
hi IndentGuidesEven guibg=green ctermbg=4

I have the same errors. I manually defined my indent guide colors, but I still get the error upon calling :IndentGuidesToggle. The even lines don't highlight. I am using Terminal.app in OSX, with color scheme set through their gui preferences, and and transparency set. I'll play around with my settings to see if I can figure out whats causing the muckup.

I had the same problem in Terminal.app/OSX, with the default colorscheme. But if I specify "colorscheme default" in my .vimrc and restart vim, the problem goes away. Worked with other colorschemes too of course.

@g1ra, your solution worked, thankyou!

Adding to g1ra's comment, my solution was as below in .vimrc with OSX Terminal.app (and Novel theme). Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.

colorscheme default
Plugin 'nathanaelkane/vim-indent-guides'
let g:indent_guides_enable_on_vim_startup = 1 
let g:indent_guides_auto_colors = 0 
let g:indent_guides_guide_size = 1 
autocmd VimEnter,Colorscheme * :hi IndentGuidesOdd guibg=darkgrey ctermbg=252
autocmd VimEnter,Colorscheme * :hi IndentGuidesEven guibg=darkgrey ctermbg=251
