How do I get multiple vimwikis to show under "Vimwiki / Open Index" in the gvim menu?

Question

I want to work between two vimwiki directories: a private vimwiki and a public vimwiki.

How do I get multiple vimwikis in the gvim Vimwiki > Open index > menu?

In my ~/.vimrc I have the two wikis defined:

" vimwiki 
let wiki_1 = {}
let wiki_1.path = '~/vimwiki'
let wiki_1.path_html = '~/vimwiki_html'
let wiki_2 = {}
let wiki_2.path = '~/private'
let wiki_2.path_html = '~/private_html'
let g:vimwiki_list = [wiki_1, wiki_2]

In vim and gvim, when I press \ws I can see the two options, as I expect:

1   ~/vimwiki/                                         
2 * ~/private/
Select Wiki (specify number):

However, in gvim the menu only shows one entry, the tilde ( ~ )

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I was missing a trailing slash on both wiki_?.path values.

I corrected my ~/.vimrc as follows:

" vimwiki 
let wiki_1 = {}
let wiki_1.path = '~/vimwiki/'
let wiki_1.path_html = '~/vimwiki_html/'

let wiki_2 = {}
let wiki_2.path = '~/private/'
let wiki_2.path_html = '~/private_html/'

let g:vimwiki_list = [wiki_1, wiki_2]

After a trailing slash is added, the correct entries show up in the gvim Vimwiki > Open index > menu

What threw me was that in vim and gvim when I pressed \ws I got the result I expected, yet the gvim menu showed a different set of wikis. Both methods show the same result set now.

Answer 2

Great tip with the slash and the \ws, thx!

I have entered the following into my .vimrc (). Hope it helps someone:

" Markdown for multiple vimwiki's
"
let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/Documents/myWiki/', 'syntax': 'markdown', 'ext': '.md'},
                     \ {'path': '~/Documents/myScripts.wiki/', 'syntax': 'markdown', 'ext': '.md'}]

And \ws:

1   /Users/username/Documents/myWiki/
2   /Users/username/Documents/myScripts.wiki/
Select Wiki (specify number):
