Your screenshot only shows the backtrace, not the actual error. It appears to have something to do with spawning the Tern server, which is apparently a very hard thing to do portably in Python, but without the error message, there's not much I can say about this.

thanks. so how do i get the detailed error message?

I think it should show up in :messages -- but I don't know all that much about vim.

I tried :message, but it output the same as the top.

ps: my vim is 7.3.969, os is windows xp sp3

Hold on, actually the WindowsError: [error 6] part is the error message, it's just not a very useful one. Searching around for that string suggests it is what you get when you try to execute something that's not executable. Did you successfully intsall Tern? Can you run node_modules/tern/bin/tern and get a running server? What does the :show tern#command give you?

I'm sorry i just assumed that tern-for-vim can work independently, so i did not install Tern before .

By the way, when i run tern/bin/tern.cmd, the prompt says "Listening on port 1747", seems the server worked.

You don't need to install it 'before', you simply need to do npm install to get it into your plugin directory. Is it in node_modules in the place where you installed the plugin?

I tried to install Tern with npm: tern_install

unfortunately error comes again. am i in the right way to install Tern?

Yes.I used pathogen to manage plugins ,the path of node_modules directory is: bundle\tern_for_vim\node_modules

You don't need a separate Tern checkout. Does bundle\tern_for_vim\node_modules\tern\bin\tern exist and start up propertly?

Yes, the directory does exsit,like this: ternrun

how shoud i check whether the Tern startup properly? I'm sorry i 'm new to js scripting.

You could run it with node. But if it exists, I guess that wasn't the problem. I'm out of ideas on this.
