Why can't I source my vimrc after installing vundle?

Question

I\'m trying to get my Vim to update on the fly after editing vimrc. So I followed the instructions at Vimcast which basically source vimrc every time you hit save.

Answer 1

That's :source ..., executed from within Vim. From your output, it appears that you have mistakenly executed it in the Bash shell itself (maybe via :!source); source also is a Bash built-in command (like .) to execute the file contents as Bash commands.

To debug the :autocmd that's not working for you, you could temporarily add

:echomsg "executing .vimrc"

or write the .vimrc with :15verbose write to see what's going on.
