Fixing Two Errors After Updating Vim Plugins

Got some time to write dumb code again recently, so I opened Vim. First order of business was updating plugins, using Vim-plug.

And right after the update, problems showed up…

What the hell is this cursed color scheme?

Checked the log and saw an error:

Could not resolve airline theme “solarized”

Turns out it’s a vim-airline issue — the themes got split into a separate package, so you have to add another plugin source:

vim-airline-themes

Personally I think adding this to the default config file:

Plug ‘vim-airline/vim-airline-themes

is the better move. After that, just restart Vim and update the plugins, and the problem’s gone.

I also noticed my start screen had grown a stupid cow.

That’s from vim-startify, which added this crap on its own. You have to disable it manually by adding this to your config:

let g:startify_custom_header = []

Save, and you’re done…
