Hello, I was setting up vim plug when this error occured:

Error detected while processing .vimrc:

line 5:

E117: Unknown function: plug#begin

line 7:

E492: Not an editor command: Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim'

line 9:

E117: Unknown function: plug#end

here's the .vimrc file

syntax on

filetype plugin indent on

set ts=2 sts=2 sw=2 et ai si

set rnu

call plug#begin()

Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim'

call plug#end()

This means Vim is trying to load the function plug#begin() then the
function plug#end() from the script <something>/autoload/plug.vim
where <something> is any one of the directories mentioned in
'runtimepath', and either not finding that script, or not finding
these functions within it. It also doesn't find the user-command Plug
so the former (script not found) seems more likely.

Try adding the following at the top of your vimrc, it should give you
a warning message for not finding files to be sourced:

if &verbose < 2
set verbose=2
endif

Later you can manually :set vbs-=1 if you want to stop displaying all
those messages.

See :help autoload

Best regards,
Tony.

This sounds like an issue that is better suited for the vim-plug issue
tracker. I would guess that their first suggestion would be to check
that you downloaded the vim-plug plugin to the correct directory. I
suggest you include this in your description when you ask this at the
vim-plug repository.

Good luck - DLD

Hi Rellot,

From the syntax, you may be trying to use junegunn/vim-plug. Ensure vim-plug is properly installed. These errors mean Vim can't find the functions which would have normally been registered by the plugin.

3 things

1. Ensure the plugin is properly installed
2. Use Plug, not Plugin
3. Ensure you provide the plugin directory in plug#begin(<directory>)

Cheers,

Igbanam.

It's not finding where you put it. I do the following:

" installed at

~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim

" All my plugins are installed into this path

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
