Gbrowse not opening the browser

Question

I've been using Vim Fugitive plugin for some time now. Recently, I tried the Vim rhubarb plugin.

So for a github-repo it should work out of the box but `:GBrowse doesn't open the browser at all.

Although, :Gbrowse! seems to work fine.

I believe it has to do with vim version.

I'm using apple compiled vim

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Nov 9 2019 02:36:49)

Included patches: 1-503, 505-680, 682-1312

Can you be more specific on how GBrowse doesn't work for you? Does it give any error messages? What if you look at :messages, do you see anything there? Does it do any other unexpected action, or does it just do nothing? — filbranden, May 6, 2020 at 23:44
These kinds of questions are better asked on issue trackers, imo — D. Ben Knoble, May 7, 2020 at 0:21
@filbranden When I run GBrowse it doesn't do anything like opening the code line in the browser. I ran :messages command after running GBrowse --- Messages maintainer: Bram Moolenaar <[email protected]> "osx_apps_install.sh" 114L, 2654C github.com/username/commands/blob/master/osx_apps_install.sh. Press ENTER or type command to continue. — ankitj, May 7, 2020 at 18:59

@filbranden Tried to run GBrowse on an enterprise repo. :messages gives me this output --- Messages maintainer: Bram Moolenaar <[email protected]> Error detected while processing function nerdtree#ui_glue#invokeKeyMap[1]..78[18]..77[3]..<SNR>33_customOpenFile[1]..107[1]..123[3]..179[6]..180[17]..14: line 3: E325: ATTENTION — ankitj, May 7, 2020 at 20:24

The culprit was netrw plugin.

It's failing somehow and that's why browser doesn't open.

Maybe something to do the vim version as it works on a recent vim version.
