Description

  1. Starting with nvim & OSX
  2. Installed plugin with vim-plug; vim-plug reported success
  3. Open .go file
  4. nvim reports:
Error detected while processing function ABCGo:

It appears this ticket may be relevant.

I am not a vimscript hacker, but this code change seems to fix the issue:

diff --git a/vim/plugin/abcgo.vim b/vim/plugin/abcgo.vim

 function! ABCGo()
-  call job_start($GOPATH . "/bin/abcgo -format raw -path " . expand("%:p"), {'callback': 'ABCGoBackground', 'mode': 'raw'})
+  if has("nvim")

+  endif
 endfunction
