Vim-plug: vim-go post-update hook error

[damnever]

There is my config:

Plug 'fatih/vim-go', { 'do': ':GoInstallBinaries' }

If vim does not open a .go file, PlugUpdate will cause an error:

Post-update hook for vim-go ... Vim(let):E117: Unknown function: go#path#BinPath

I have the same line on my vimrc (https://github.com/junegunn/dotfiles/blob/2ec0d6e/vimrc#L107) but I can't reproduce the problem you describe. Can you show your entire vim configuration?

Oh, you have for option. vim-plug does load files in plugin directory when a :VimCommand is invoked on post-update, but it does not add the plugin to &rtp so it fails to find the function.

I'll fix the problem, but please keep in mind that I generally don't recommend using for option for file type-specific plugins like vim-go.
