Vim plugin youcompleteme: cannot start Ycm Server / YcmToggleLogs shows nothin

Question

I am quite new to Vim on Mac OSX 10.13. I installed a few plugins, especially for use with Python.

Thus I installed YouCompleteMe & compiled it. Originally I got an error because a trial of Kite shut the server down. But this I deactivated and now I restart and restart the server just to get it shutdown. And the YcmToggleLogs does not show anything :-(

I followed all of the advice given here: YCM error. The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart wit...the instructions in the documentation

But still it doesn't work.

And of course I followed along with the official install manual:

Install YCM plugin via Vundle
Install cmake, macvim and python

Note that the system vim is not supported.

brew install cmake macvim python .
Install mono, go, node and npm

brew install mono go nodejs

Compile YCM
cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe python3 install.py --all

Btw, when compiling everything I get several warning along these lines:

ld: warning: text-based stub file /*****/CoreFoundation.tbd and library file
/****//CoreFoundation.framework/CoreFoundation are out of sync.
Falling back to library file for linking.

Any ideas what I can do to get it off the ground?

Thanks.

Answer 1

On Linux, with VIM >8.1

To solve the issue, run the installer from the plugin.
Go to vim folder

cd ~/.vim/plugged/YouCompleteMe

and run the installer.sh

./installer.sh

hope this solution solves your as well.
