No errors, everything looks to be okay... but the plugins aren't loading :// Can someone help me find the problem?

Thank you :)

@newwtron54 adding call vundle#end() at the end of the Plugin call fixed my problem. Hope this can help you too.

Same problem on Ubuntu 14.04. scriptnames doesn't contain installed plugins until :PluginInstall, but it's not a persistent way. It doesn't even work with minimal config.
P.S. After completely reinstalling vim and Vundle it works.

@nfischer yes, it's fixed, thanks

anywhim on 29 Jan 2016

This happens on every new install I do. I have to run :PluginInstall before any of the plugins are available (every time I open vim)

Yes, I'm aware. I was saying this is the only way I have been able to get my plugins to be recognized. I'll do some more poking around with it this evening.

nobleach on 11 Feb 2016

I have same problem like @nobleach.

frizikk on 12 Feb 2016

Just a quick question @frizik, where is your call vundle#end() in your .vimrc?

I had neglected that in mine. Looks like it's working just fine now. I had upgraded from an old version.

After adding into .vimrc run this command in terminal
vim +PluginInstall +qall

Just checking in...

@lordgreg, @frizikk are you still having issues?

solved my own issue, see below, listed Plugins twice opps.

I'm having a similar/exact issue.
.vimrc:

set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
" alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins
"call vundle#begin('~/some/path/here')

" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'

Plugin 'thoughtbot/vim-rspec'
Plugin 'jgdavey/tslime.vim'
Plugin 'christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator'

call vundle#end()

Then I run PluginInstall, however list does not change or update. vim-tmux-navigator is missing.
PlugingList:

Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
Plugin 'altercation/vim-colors-solarized'
Plugin 'christoomey/vim-run-interactive'
Plugin 'jiangmiao/auto-pairs'
Plugin 'croaky/vim-colors-github'
Plugin 'kchmck/vim-coffee-script'
Plugin 'kien/ctrlp.vim'
Plugin 'pbrisbin/vim-mkdir'
Plugin 'scrooloose/syntastic'
Plugin 'slim-template/vim-slim'
Plugin 'thoughtbot/vim-rspec'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-bundler'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-endwise'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-eunuch'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-rails'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-repeat'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-surround'
Plugin 'vim-ruby/vim-ruby'
Plugin 'vim-scripts/ctags.vim'
Plugin 'vim-scripts/matchit.zip'
Plugin 'vim-scripts/tComment'

Update I have a .vimrc.bundles that file contains this list of plugins, however the .vimrc is not set to user that right? Because the lines bellow are commented out and a path is not provided. Furthermore when I edit the list in .bundles plugins are not changed

" alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins
"call vundle#begin('~/some/path/here')

SOLVED

I had this line in .vimrc

if filereadable(expand("~/.vimrc.bundles"))
  source ~/.vimrc.bundles
endif

which looked like this:

if &compatible
  set nocompatible
end

filetype off
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim/
call vundle#begin()

" Let Vundle manage Vundle
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'

" Define bundles via Github repos
Plugin 'altercation/vim-colors-solarized'
Plugin 'christoomey/vim-run-interactive'
Plugin 'christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator'
Plugin 'jiangmiao/auto-pairs'
Plugin 'croaky/vim-colors-github'
Plugin 'kchmck/vim-coffee-script'
Plugin 'kien/ctrlp.vim'
Plugin 'pbrisbin/vim-mkdir'
Plugin 'scrooloose/syntastic'
Plugin 'slim-template/vim-slim'
Plugin 'thoughtbot/vim-rspec'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-bundler'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-endwise'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-eunuch'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-rails'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-repeat'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-surround'
Plugin 'vim-ruby/vim-ruby'
Plugin 'vim-scripts/ctags.vim'
Plugin 'vim-scripts/matchit.zip'
Plugin 'vim-scripts/tComment'

if filereadable(expand("~/.vimrc.bundles.local"))
  source ~/.vimrc.bundles.local
endif

call vundle#end()
filetype on

was trying to load Plugins twice, opps.

I am having the same problem @nobleach for some reason I have to :PluginInstall everytime I enter vim before it loads anything.

I know this is an old thread, but similar to @oludiro solution, I had to add call plug#end() after the end of the plugin calls in order to fix this issue.
