Error on gvim windows

[giahuyng98]

error when hit C-X C-O on gvim windows:

Error detected while processing function erlang_complete#Complete[22]..<SNR>27_ErlangFindExternalFunc:
line   18:
E484: Can't open file C:\Users\mine\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo677A.tmp
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Could you try the following scenarios:

1. Open an empty Erlang file in GVim and type C-x C-o. Do you get the error? If not, what happens?

2. Type lists:m and type C-x C-o. Do you get the error? If not, what happens?

3. Run the following command in GVim (replace the ... with your path):

   :echo system ('escript /.../vim-erlang-omnicomplete/autoload/erlang_complete.erl list-modules') 
   

   Does Vim start printing a long list (you can hit q to stop it), or do you get the error?

Does this command work or does it print the same error?

:echo system("dir")

[giahuyng98]

It work (print files in my directory).

I found a few similar error reports in Vim plugins and some other information about this issue:

• https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Execute_external_programs_asynchronously_under_Windows#Some_notes_on_cmd.exe_quoting
• http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'shellxquote'
• Can't open file (win gvim) mattn/vim-gist#48 (comment)
• Can't open file (win gvim) mattn/vim-gist#48 (comment)
• E484: Can't open file c:\Users\username~\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo7EE2.tmp google/vim-codefmt#86

Based on these:

1. What is the output of the following command?

   :set shellcmdflag? shellquote? shellxquote?

   Can you try:

   :set shellxquote=\"

   And see if the error still occurs. If yes, then could you also try the following:

   :set shell=cmd
   :set shellcmdflag=/c

2. What is your Vim version? See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_dev/CNIODLeIt54 for a similar error caused by a Vim bug. If this is the problem then it can be fixed with installing the newest Vim version.

:set shellxquote=\"
solves the problem.
Thanks

For the next internet people who lands there, I randomly arrived here from google searches about ctags that would not work because C:\Users\mine\AppData\Local\Temp\ was not accessible.

:set shellxquote=\"
:set shell=cmd
:set shellcmdflag=/c

solved my problem
