Nerdtree: Error invokeKeyMap When opening a file with nerdtree

[alonisser]

I always get:

Error detected while processing function nerdtree#ui_glue#invokeKeyMap..71..70..>>>>37_activateFileNode..99..116..166..167..13:

This doesn't happpen in all my installed vim's but only in the one I installed last, but checking an older commit to a previous (working?) one still has this error.

Any clues?

Also having this issue, same vim version

[felixjung]

Same problem here. Same vim version.

This probably has something with your menu setting in vimrc
In my case commenting the following lines in my .vimrc fixed the issue.

# aunmenu Help.
# aunmenu Window.
# let no_buffers_menu=1

I'm having the saaaame issue. None of the aforementioned lines are in my .vimrc @jgelens

[jchayan]

I managed to solve this. The problem is related to the swap files directory.

if you have this:

set swapfile
set dir=<swap files directory>

Just check if the directory exists. If it does not. Create it yourself and restart vim

@jchayan _+1 this soved my issue_

[cokara]

@jchayan My vim-config is spf13, I meet the same problem. but as a freshman,I don't konw how to resolve it. please tell me the Detailed implementation process,thanks!

Similar error happens in case if you have

set backupdir=...
set directory=...
set undodir=...

in your .vimrc, but have no those directories created in appropriate places.
As @jchayan said creation of those directories help solve the issue.
