Vim-plug: Install Plugin Error

[Fashaun]

[vim-plug] Invalid argument: bash-support.vim (implicit `vim-scripts' expansion is deprecated)

and the Plug 'matchit.zip' is still with this problem, but others are not.

This is my first time to post issue, if there's any missing description, please feel free to let me know

What do you expect from vim-plug when you write Plug 'matchit.zip'? Plug 'foo/bar' expands to Plug 'https://github.com/foo/bar.git' as documented, but vim-plug does not know what to do when 'bash-support.vim' is given because 'https://github.com/bash-support.vim.git' is not a valid git repository. You can consider using https://github.com/vim-scripts/bash-support.vim, but I don't recommend using anything under vim-scripts since it's no longer maintained.

Hi ,

thanks for reply,

the install method is because I'm using the tutorial from "vim awsome "
http://vimawesome.com/

and it works before,

Then I must say that the tutorial is wrong. vim-plug never documented that it supports that form of specification. It used to implicitly prepend vim-scripts/ in those cases, but it was an unofficial, undocumented feature which we decided to remove for good as it caused confusions.

[Fashaun]

Oh really ,well ~ but I think it provide a convenient way to configure vim
, but may be it can be more reliable in the future

vim-scripts mirror is no longer updated so it's discouraged that you use it unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing.

What is the alternative? How do you know https://github.com/vim-scripts is no longer maintained? I thought maybe it was updated by automatic robot script?

[Shougo]

What is the alternative?

Unfortunately, non alternative.
I don't recommend for you to use vim.org plugins.

Just as a side note:
I got this error too because I forgot to add the git package user in front of the package e.g.:

I had:     Plug 'vim-fugitive'
should be: Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
