syntax error in fireplace_connection.vim

.vim/bundle/vim-fireplace/autoload/nrepl/fireplace_connection.vim:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Anyone know what this is? I'm on centos. Could it be a problem with older vim?

[Brian Craft]

Ah. I suspect it's because vim doesn't have python compiled in. Looks like it detects the absence of python & tries to exit, but somehow still hits this error.

[Brian Craft]

Nope, it has python:

+python

Maybe it's due to older python??

[Tim Pope]

Maybe? I don't have much historical context on Python. What version?

2.4, apparently:

[Tim Pope]

I dunno. Could you open a GitHub issue?

[Brian Craft]

Ah, yep, that's it.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Works fine in 2.7.

Trying this workaround:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/820778/syntaxerror-in-finally-django

vim comes up now. Now I just have to learn to use fireplace so I can tell if it's working. :-p

[Brian Craft]

Sadly, no:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>21_inputeval..fireplace#echo_session_eval..fireplace#session_eval..<SNR>21_eval..<SNR>21_client..fireplace#local_client..classpath#from_vim:

line    9:

E118: Too many arguments for function: glob

E116: Invalid arguments for function split(glob(substitute(elem, '\\\ze[\\ ,]', '', 'g'), 1), "\n")

E15: Invalid expression: split(glob(substitute(elem, '\\\ze[\\ ,]', '', 'g'), 1), "\n")

Error detected while processing function <SNR>21_inputeval:

line    4:

E171: Missing :endif

This looks like a vim version issue: glob() doesn't have a flag parameter in 7.0. Not sure if there's an easy workaround.

[Brian Craft]

That turned out to be in classpath.vim. I removed the flag. Also proactively removed it from plugin/fireplace.vim. I'm now at least able to use cqp. :)

[Brian Craft]

Another 2.4 incompatibility is "".format(). This works instead, in fireplace_connection.vim:

"\\%03o" % ord(c))

[Brian Craft]

Seems to be working perfectly now, and it's awesome.

The summary, for old vim and old python, as found on centos 5.5:

Replace python string.format() with % operator.

Use nested python "try" to avoid "except" and "finally" in the same block (not legal in python 2.4).

Drop 2nd parameter to vim glob() calls.

Delete catch of "REPL Connection Error" so user can see what's happening. ;)

Thanks.
