Pathogen does not load plugins.

Question

Pathogen does not work for me. I am following Adam Lowe's hints posted here (and few more) without any success...

My vimrc:

filetype off
call pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles()

filetype plugin indent on
set nocompatible
syntax on
set tabstop=2
set smarttab
set shiftwidth=2
set autoindent
set expandtab
set number
colorscheme darkblue

Contents of .vim - ls .vim/*:

.vim/autoload:
pathogen.vim

.vim/bundle:
nerdcommenter/  vim-haml/   vim-surround/
vim-endwise/    vim-rails/  vim-vividchalk/

All plugins in bundle were installed by cloning them from GitHub into bundle directory.

I have tried with pathogen 1.1 and 1.2 and even the latest from GitHub without any result. Vividchalk, Vim-rails and nerdcommenter are not working. I have very little experience with other plugs so I am not sure about them, but I suppose they are not working too.

I am using ArchLinux, vim 7.2.385-1 (not the latest because the latest requires me to install ruby1.9, but it is still 7.2). It has been installed via pacman - ArchLinux package manager. No vim plugins were installed the other way than using pathogen (I have even reinstalled vim package with cleaning /usr/share/vim).

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

• /etc/vimrc http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=29685#a29685
• /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/archlinux.vim http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=29686#a29686

Answer 1

I have it in mine as:

silent! call pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles()

Answer 2

filetype off                                                                
call pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles()
call pathogen#helptags()

Answer 3

Maybe Arch's default vimrc (possibly /etc/vim/vimrc) doesn't play well with Pathogen. Try starting Vim without loading config files:

vim -u NONE

and then load your vimrc from within vim:

:so ~/.vimrc

Do the plugins work then?
