NERDTree: Autocmd error vim


I am trying to add NERDTree to my RHEL machine by appending following lines in .vimrc after placing NERD_tree.vim in plugin folder.

autocmd VimEnter * NERDTree
autocmd VimEnter * wincmd p

The problem is that I am able to run it using these commands in Mac but RHEL throws this error:

Error detected while processing VimEnter Auto commands for "*":
E492: Not an editor command: NERDTree

Can somebody help me resolve this error?


Solution

  • When :NERDTree also doesn't work, that means that the plugin isn't properly installed.

    To troubleshoot, check the output of :scriptnames; it must list .../plugin/NERD_tree.vim (in the location where you've put it), and verify the value of 'runtimepath', especially if you use a plugin manager (like Pathogen, Vundle, etc.)
