I have edited my ~/.zshrc to set the vim runtime to the homebrew version -

`$ echo $VIMRUNTIME

/usr/local/Cellar/vim/8.0.1500/share/vim/vim80/`

Hello @anandghegde

Looks like something is not quite right with your vim installation or maybe zsh somehow uses runtime from built-in OSX vim. HtmlIndent is a function in runtime/indent/html.vim file. This file is a part of standard vim distribution. So when vim is installed correctly calls to HtmlIndent should work out of the box.

[anandghegde]

Anyway to set the runtime in one of the ~/.zshrc file? My homebrew vim is installed at /usr/local/Cellar/vim/8.0.1500/share/vim/vim80/

[neowit]

Not a zsh user here, so I am not sure. You may have to "google" for a bit.

brew install vim -with-override-system-vim or echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile usually do the trick for me when using bash.

[anandghegde]

yes, I reinstalled vim with the --with-override-system-vi flag. Still getting the same error. My /usr/local/bin is ahead in the $PATH, so it is using the latest vim from the homebrew installation.

I want to understand this line - runtime indent/html.vim

Which env. variable is it looking for? Is it $VIMRUNTIME? Do I need to set this in .zshrc or in vundle?

[neowit]

see answers here: https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/repeat.txt#L193 and here: https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/options.txt#L6356

indent/html.vim by default resides in $VIMRUNTIME/indent/html.vim

check what your :echo $VIMRUNTIME returns when you run it from vim.

[anandghegde]

:echo $VIMRUNTIME from inside vim gives me /usr/local/share/vim/vim80 and I see an indent/html.vim file in there.

[neowit]

usually :echo $VIMRUNTIME ends with something like ...some path/runtime. Yours does not end with .../runtime for some reason.

for instance, here is the output of my config (I use MacVim not console vim)

/usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-142/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime

what happens if you run (inside vim) :source $VIMRUNTIME/indent/html.vim

does it return any error?

If it does not then does this (inside vim) work? :call HtmlIndent()

[anandghegde]

:source $VIMRUNTIME/indent/html.vim doesnt return any error

:call HtmlIndent() returns unknown function.

[neowit]

if you do :edit $VIMRUNTIME/indent/html.vim in vim what does the file header look like? does it say

Last Change: 2017 Jun 13

the file must look exactly the same as this one.

[anandghegde]

Yes, it looks exactly like that.

[neowit]

in this case the issue may be either A. you do not have filetype indent on in your .vimrc what does :filetype return? it should return something like

filetype detection:ON plugin:ON indent:ON

OR B. your vim config and/or other plugins you use somehow disable standard indent/html.vim. html.vim makes various checks at the beginning of the file and depending on the current config may or may not proceed with full initialisation.

[anandghegde]

Thanks a lot for the help in debugging this. It turned out to be because of the vim-polyglot plugin that comes bundled with YADR . I removed that plugin and it seems to be working fine.
