[vim/vim] :make does not add entries to the quickfix list or the location list (Issue #14967)
AMF064
Steps to reproduce
- Write a program in any language. Example in C:
#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("%d\n",a); return 0; }
- Configure the makeprg. In the example's case:
:set makeprg=cc\ %
- Run
make.
Expected behaviour
The example program issues an error saying a is undeclared, so the quickfix list should have at least an entry. Nevertheless, it is empty for me. This does not happen with grep, apparently it only happens with make for me.
I am a beginner in GitHub, this is my first issue in an open-source project. If I missed some important information, please let me know. Thank you for your attention.

Can't reproduce it. Can you try to open vim with "vim -u NONE" and try again?

Make sure your 'errorformat' option is properly setup. This should work, when the file you compile, is actually a C file type, e.g. using vim --clean foobar.c should set this up correctly.

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I tried the ways you told me, the issue persists. I checked the &errorformat variable, it is the one specified in the gcc.vim file located in the runtime path. Still, nothing happens to the quickfix list. When I hit :make and it finishes, Vim does not display any errors, and the message queue does not have any either.
Nevertheless, I tried in virtual machines with other OS's, whose Vim version was also 9.1, and it worked. I don't know to what extent it can be an issue with my particular machine. I will try making a VM with my current OS to help you narrow down the problem.
Thank you!

Okay, I tried installing my OS in a VM, and it works just fine. I also tried my configuration and it also worked. It must be something in my particular machine. I have no idea what it could be. Any clue? Thanks for your help.

Does running ":!cc %" output any thing?

Yes, it does. I'm using GCC as my compiler. It outputs the error:
main.c: In function ‘main’:
main.c:5:20: error: ‘a’ undeclared (first use in this function)
5 | printf("%d\n", a);
| ^
main.c:5:20: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

I've tried the following:
- Set
makeprgto some command that outputs something:
:set makeprg=echo\ Hello
- Run
make
It outputs what I want it to write, and the quickfix list gets an entry with that "Hello" text. What does this mean?

can you please show the various shell options? Perhaps :set shellredir is set wrongly? Is there a difference between your shell and the one in your VM?

It is true, it's different in the VM. In my machine, it is > by default, and in the VM, it is >%s 2>&1. I've tried to change it setting shellredir in the .vimrc, but the quickfix still doesn't receive the output from the compiler.
Now that I've read the documentation, I notice that I forgot to tell you my shell, it is oksh at the moment. But I've tried it with bash as well, it still does not work.
With shell options, do you mean set -o?
Thank you so much for your patience.

I mean the various shell options in Vim. See :h 'shell' and the following options.

In my machine:
- shell:
/usr/bin/oksh - shelltype:
0 - shellpipe:
| tee - shellslash:
0 - shellredir:
>%s 2>&1 - shellquote: ``
- shellxquote: ``
- shellcmdflag:
-c
In the VM: - shell:
/bin/bash - shelltype:
0 - shellpipe:
2>&1| tee - shellslash:
0 - shellredir:
>%s 2>&1 - shellquote: ``
- shellxquote: ``
- shellcmdflag:
-c
I changed the shellpipe option to the one used in the VM and it worked. Thank you for your help, I did not know about these options. In order to have it working all the time, shall I set the option in my .vimrc?

Hm, we have some special casing for zsh and bash I believe. I have never heard of oksh, not sure if we need to add some defaults to it (and if we should, what those defaults should be). So for the time being, yes you need to properly configure all those shell options, if the defaults are not working for you.
