No longer matches after vim upgrade

[sj26]

Upgrading to the latest vim via homebrew recently seems to have broken this matcher. Starting a search in ctrlp now yields no results, no matter the search term.

I tried importing the python module, based on the compiled-in python:

$ /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3
Python 3.6.5 (default, Apr 16 2018, 12:19:07)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.39.1)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import fuzzycomt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dlopen(/Users/sj26/.home/.vim/bundle/ctrlp-cmatcher/autoload/fuzzycomt.so, 2): Symbol not found: _PyString_AsString

>>>

:-(

I see this is because the module was written for python 2, not 3. I'll see if I can upgrade.

Seeing the same thing 😕

Any luck getting it to work?

[sj26]

Honestly I switched to fzf 😅

[jondavidjohn]

Was able to get it to work by uninstalling and installing with the --with-python@2 flag

brew install vim --with-python@2

Just make sure your ruby dependency links correctly to those out there running rbenv or similar. 😁
