a lot of errors about vim-session HOT 4 CLOSED

from vim-session.

Sorry, this is caused by a recent change:

From the readme:

Please note that the vim-session plug-in requires my vim-misc plug-in which is separately distributed.

From the vim-misc readme:

The vim-misc plug-in contains Vim scripts that are used by most of the Vim plug-ins I've written yet don't really belong with any single one of the plug-ins. Basically it's an extended standard library of Vim script functions that I wrote during the development of my Vim profile and plug-ins.

In the past these scripts were bundled with each plug-in, however that turned out to be a maintenance nightmare for me. That's why the miscellaneous scripts are now a proper plug-in with their own page on Vim Online.

Because the miscellaneous scripts are no longer bundled with my Vim plug-ins, users are now required to install the miscellaneous scripts separately. This is unfortunate for users who are upgrading from a previous release that did bundle the miscellaneous scripts, but I don't see any way around this. Sorry!

So please install xolox/vim-misc as a separate plug-in and it should work.

Is there any chance you could update the plugin to make it clearer to those with existing installs that this script is needed? I'm not too familiar with VimScript, but if you were able to explain the issue in the stack trace (or even link to the readme or such), that'd be very helpful. I kept running into this issue and while I searched a couple of times, I always assumed the issue was with something I may have changed :(

@achalddave: The latest version of vim-misc has an explicit check + explanation when vim-misc is not installed (see 70c89aa for the details).
