Gist just saying You dont have configured github account

[favetelinguis]

What can I do to find the error when gist only says You dont have github account configured?

I have done the follwoing:
Install web-api and gist with vundle
Run git --global github.user=... and git --gloab github.token=...
And created .gist-vim and put token=... but still gist just tells me I dont have github accound configured.

I get the same error when trying to run gist -a

Not sure what more i can try...

[mattn]

try to remove ~/.gist-vim.

[favetelinguis]

Makes no difference.

What message do you get from below?

:echo g:github_user

What response do you get from below?

:echo substitute(s:system('git config --get github.user'), "\n", '', '')

[favetelinguis]

First one: nothing is returned

Secound one:
E15: Invalid expression: substitute(s:system('git config --get github.user'), "\n", '','')
E120: Using not in a script context: s:system
E116: Invalid arguments for function substitute(s:system('git config --get github.user'), "\n", ''
,'')

[mattn]

Ah, sorry. try this instead.

:echo substitute(system('git config --get github.user'), "\n", '','')

[favetelinguis]

That did show my github account name!?!

[mattn]

Yes, you will see your account name because it's given from https://github.com/mattn/gist-vim/blob/master/autoload/gist.vim#L39

So the error https://github.com/mattn/gist-vim/blob/master/autoload/gist.vim#L719 couldn't be displayed.

[favetelinguis]

What might be the reason im not seeing the account name in the firs example?

Removed by another plugin.

EDIT °2
Very sorry. Forgot to mention that I'm running nvim 0.1.3

I've got the same error here and some things don't appear clear to me:

@mattn you asked @favetelinguis to perform in ex mode, a function's call that we can find in line 39 of the script:
substitute(s:system('git config --get github.user'), "\n", '', '')
which gave an error (like for me). You put on the fault of the s: and, thus you asked to remove it and run again, which resulted in the following function's call that was just fine (like for me):
substitute(system('git congit --get github.user'), "\n", '', '').

My question is why keeping the failed function's call in the source code instead of replacing it by the working one?

Also @mattn I really didn't understand this reply of yours

EDIT
I added this modification to the script and it seems to work just fine.

[mattn]

What error do you get from git config --get github.user ?

[tomibennett]

None

[mattn]

okay, but you must get error code. try to see echo $? on unix, echo %ERRORLEVEL% on windows.

[tomibennett]

Sorry I wasn't clear. It gaves me what I wanted: my username
$> git config --get github.user
mahloun
$> cat ~/.gitconfig
[...]
[github]
  user = mahloun
[...]

[mattn]

And do you mean that you get always error with system("git config --get github.user"). Right?

[tomibennett]

Nope exactly the contrary. what I was wondering is why not put the version that you just proposed (which is the working one) in the script? I realised that at the 39th line still contained the following version: s:system("git ...

[mattn]

I don't still understand what problem you get. s:system is defined in line 36.

[tomibennett]

On line 39: without the context s: the whole script is working for me and not if present.
Here what I did:

• -let g:github_user = substitute(s:system('git config --get github.user'), "\n", '', '')
• +let g:github_user = substitute(system('git config --get github.user'), "\n", '', '')

Don't know very well scripting in git but it seems that using the bare system() is preferable for some of us.

[mattn]

what environment do you use? linux or OSX, or Windows?

[tomibennett]

OSX

[mattn]

I don't have OSX, but no errors on Linux, Windows with vim. it occur on nvim?

[tomibennett]

Yep on nvim

[mattn]

Then, it is a bug of nvim.

[StaverDmitry]

Hi! Used this plugin with Ubuntu nvim and everything was great, but get the same issue with OSX now. Seems like its an OS issue.
Results of all the previous commands are the same like other people had, I don't get anything with g:github_user and I see my username with echo substitute(system('git config --get github.user'), "\n", '','')

[mattn]

Once remove ~/.gist-vim and please try it again.
