vim.buildomnils: Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) about vim-r-plugin HOT 2 CLOSED

There is now a command (:RpluginConfig) to help users to configure .tmux.conf, .vimrc, .Rprofile and .bashrc, however according to your system info you're using zsh and not bash. So you have to adapt manually to your .zshrc what is in the Vim-R-plugin documentation at r-plugin-bash-setup. This should make the VIMEDITOR_SVRNM warning disappear but probably will not solve your problem because perhaps its source might be this commit:
303e15f

The message

In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
   cannot open file '/r-plugin/objlist/omnils_stats_3.0.2': No such file or directory

means that R didn't inherited the environment variable VIMRPLUGIN_TMPDIR and is trying to create a file at the directory "/r-plugin" which doesn't exist and obviously, cannot be created by a normal user because it would be located in the root directory. To fix the problem, it's necessary to make the environment variable VIMRPLUGIN_TMPDIR be passed to R. Can you edit the r-plugin/common_global.vim and try to fix the problem there?

Hi jalvesaq,

Thanks for the suggestions. I had actually seen your guide and adopted many of the configuration settings for .vimrc, .Rprofile, and tmux.conf, but this was the problem -- I had been using the version of vim-r from https://github.com/vim-scripts/Vim-R-plugin, but following the documentation on http://www.lepem.ufc.br/jaa/r-plugin.html#r-plugin-bash-setup.

Some of the features described in your version of the docs are not yet in the vim-scripts team repo and this is what was producing the strange errors above.

I updated vim-r using your fork and now everything is working fine!

Regarding Bash vs. ZSH, they should be pretty similar so it may not be necessary to differentiate as you do in the docs and code. I am able to use your bash configuration settings pretty much as-is (with some tweaks to adjust for my default terminal) with no issue. If there is something you would like me to test on ZSH though, let me know and I would be happy to.
