MacVim: Pydiction cannot use

Question

I am trying to add Pydiction to MacVim, I executed the readme file.

Put python_pydiction.vim in ~ / .vim / after / ftplugin / and write:

let g:pydiction_location = '~/pydiction/complete-dict' 

into my .vimrc file. But when I press tab in MacVim, the error goes up:

 undefined variable g:pydiction_location 

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?

Answer 1

As discussed in the comments, you edited a file that was not really your .vimrc file. You may have typed:

 :e vimrc :e ~/vimrc :e .vimrc 

none of which are likely to modify your actual .vimrc file. It should have a dot in front of it And be located in your home directory. You can also type :pwd in vim to see the current working directory. If you run :e .vimrc , it will create a new file in any directory you are in if it does not exist.

Answer 2

Do you use NERDTree? If so, it seems that Pydiction and NERDTree are somehow conflicting with each other.
