Undo files created in current dir about vim-sensible HOT 8 CLOSED

Also experienced this issue. My guess is that Vim / the OS doesn't know how to expand the ~. The solution that seemed to work for me is to wrap the s:dir in an expand()

This works for me in Linux and Windows.

Strangely enough, it stills has the ~ when I do set undodir?, so I'm not sure what magic is happening

I actually worried that this might happen, but then completely half-assed verifying that it worked. Thanks.

Strangely my undodir,directory and backupdir aren't assigned correclty at all.
:echo &directory | echo &undodir | echo &swap

.,/Users/timosand/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp
.
.,/Users/timosand/tmp,/Users/timosand/

This is annoying since it inserts the temp files in the cwd of the file.

I'm on OS X 10.8, vim 7.3

You have to create the directories yourself to opt in.

This is just a hunch, but maybe you aren't using MacVim? In the code, it uses has('mac') to check if it is running on the Mac, and according to this post on stackoverflow, the native Vim binary doesn't itself report itself as "having mac". A more convoluted solutions follows, using system(uname) to check if it is Darwin, but that obviously won't work on Windows.

Well crap, that's almost certainly it. Open a new bug for it. I'm not sure how I'll solve it yet.

Long term I'm definitely moving this to a separate plugin. It's way too much of a headache to be "sensible".
