How can I fix the reason for this error message

Hi,

I am using "bleeding-edge" vim (not gvim, not neovim) on GENTOO-Linux
and I emerge it via GENTOO package manager up to the newest possible.

vim --version gives me:

I am using vim-plug as vims package manager.
I update vim-plug and all vim packages on regulary base.

All that has worked flawlessly before. Since yesterday (or so) I got
this message when starting vim:

[vim-plug] Invalid argument: OceanBlack256 (implicit `vim-scripts' expansion is deprecated)
Press ENTER or type command to continue


OceanBlack256 is a color scheme, which works before without problems.
As far as I can tell it was not updated since.

How can I fix this bug (the colorscheme is not working very well since
it give me this error)?
Was something related changed in vim?

Thanks for any help in advance!
Cheers
Meino

Hi tuxic!

The error (or let me better call it warning) comes from vim-plug. It
looks like, you need to adjust your Plug call and add manually the
vim-scripts repo if there is no maintained repository for your color
scheme.

Best,

Hi Christian,

thanks for the links and the explanations!
I fixxxxed that -- but I dont know, why this become a problem...

The files in question are:
.vim/plugged/OceanBlack256
.vim/plugged/OceanBlack256/.git/(some files below this point...)
.vim/plugged/OceanBlack256/colors
.vim/plugged/OceanBlack256/colors/oceanblack256.vim
.vim/plugged/OceanBlack256/README

The Plug - command was:
Plug "OceanBlack256"

Now I have to do
Plug 'OceanBlack256/colors/oceanblack256.vim'

But this is nonetheless no problem:
.vim/plugged/.git/(some files below this point
.vim/plugged/README.rst
.vim/plugged/Makefile
.vim/plugged/autoload
.vim/plugged/autoload/screen.vim
.vim/plugged/plugin
.vim/plugged/plugin/screen.vim
.vim/plugged/doc
.vim/plugged/doc/tags
.vim/plugged/doc/screen.txt

Plugged with:
Plug 'ervandew/screen

(eeornously using 'ervandew' as folder.

When only using
Plug 'screen' as the folder suggests, the "deprecated" message
appears again.

May be it is a problem for vim-plug. if the folder has the
same name as the script inside?

Why is oceanblack256.vim is a script and screen.vim is none?
;) :)

The problem seems to

Cheers

That is your local clone of the repository.

No that is wrong.

You need to give Plug the remote github repository from which it can
clone. Apparently, if no github username was given, vim-plug silently
used vim-scripts/name to clone from. That no stopped and that is what
the error message is about. So you could use Plug vim-scripts/OceanBlack256
or you simply clone the vim-colorscheme package, which also does include
OceanBlack256 e.g. Plug flazz/vim-colorschemes

So that corresponds to github.com/ervandew/screen
