Code folding is not saved in my vimrc

Question

I added the following code to my .vimrc:

\" save and restore folds when a file is closed and re-opened
autocmd BufWinLeave *.* mkview
autocmd BufWinEnter *.* sil         


        

Answer 1

With Neovim in Arch Linux, I was getting error messages until I appended a ! after silent (silent!). Here is my ~/.vimrc entry,

autocmd BufWrite * mkview
autocmd BufRead * silent! loadview
