Why manual not found for jedi-vim?

[EmilyGraceSeville7cf]

Issue

When I try to execute :help jedi-vim I obtain E149: Sorry, no help for jedi-vim. I've installed this plugin via Git inside /home/emilyseville7cfg/.vim/pack/completion/start/jedi-vim.

Steps to reproduce

Output of “:verbose JediDebugInfo”

[EmilyGraceSeville7cf]

@davidhalter, :redir @+> | silent verb JediDebugInfo | redir END doesn't work with E475: Invalid argument: @+>. I am not Vim expert so I don't know how to fix it.

[davidhalter]

I feel like jedi-vim is really not installed at this point. You should probably use a plugin manager like vim-plug and report back. What VIM version are you using? There is a possibility that it is too old for native packaging. Also I haven't used native packaging myself, so you have to make sure it really is installed that way...

[davidhalter]

My guess is that /home/emilyseville7cfg/.vim/pack/completion/start/jedi-vim is not the correct path to install it OR that it needs additional changes in .vimrc. But I'm not using the nativ plugin management, so I have no clue.

[pstahlhofen]

I have the same issue with native plugin management. :help jedi-vim fails and I also don't the the completions to work.
I installed the plugin to .vim/pack/my_plugins/start/jedi-vim by cloning the git repository.
Afterwards I executed git submodule update --init --recursive in the jedi-vim folder, as recommended in the README.md. For the purpose of using jedi, I have re-installed Vim and am now running version 9.0 with python3 support. When I execute :py3 import jedi this does not produce any errors. Also, running :scriptnames shows me that several files in the jedi-vim folder are executed. The output of JediDebugInfo is shown below [1]. @EmilyGraceSeville7cf I think you can use :redir @* to redirect the output directly to the clipboard. @davidhalter I kindly ask you to implement a way to natively install jedi-vim without plugin managers. Any help is very appreciated.

Any help is very appreciated.

Any help is indeed very appreciated, but I'm myself no VIM plugin expert. So feel free to shoot over a pull request that fixes this and I'll try to review it.

[pstahlhofen]

Okay, thanks for the honest reply. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it. I'll try if I find time.
