Help not working about vimwiki

[abangfarhan]

@DaveLG I have this same issue, although I use the native plugin manager, so the vimwiki folder was located on folder pack\plugins\start\.

To fix the issue I type

:helptags $VIMRUNTIME/pack/plugins/start/vimwiki/doc

If you put it on the bundle folder you probably should do

:helptags $VIMRUNTIME/bundle/vimwiki/doc

Actually, my pack folder is located on Vim\Vim80, and not Vim\VimFiles, not like what you have. I don't know whether this difference matters or not though.

Note that once you run the :helptags command you don't need to run it again in the future.

Seems like you didn't rebuild the tags.

I just installed this plugin using bundle,

Do you mean Pathogen? Then there is a command :Helptags or if you want to do it manually, type :helptags /path/to/vimwiki/doc/

[dpecos]

Yeah, I meant Pathogen, sorry.

With helptags works great, but I think the plugin should register its own doc, shouldn't it?

We could add the tags file to the repository and distribute it along with the help file, but if you don't use a plugin manager and throw the content of vimwiki/doc/ in your ~/.vim/doc/ directory, the tags file there would be overwritten.

Not doing that and let the user build the helptags of their own seems to be the commonly accepted method.

It would help if the readme mentioned running Helptags before "Then launch vim and run :help vimwiki to verify it was installed."

[EinfachToll]

You're right, I will add a note.

Well I have vimwiki installed on a Windows 10 machine with gvim. It seems to work as I can see vimwiki in the top menu as well as look at my old wiki's that I had in drop box with MacOS and MacVim.

I am missing vimwiki help though. I have tried these two commands in gvim but neither worked:

:helptags "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\bundle\vimwiki\doc\vimwiki.txt"
E471: Arguement required

:helptags "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\bundle\vimwiki\doc"
E471: Arguement required

If I run :Helptags nothing seems to happen. The cursor just returns to the edit window

Any ideas?
