In my .vimrc, how can I check for the existence of a color scheme?
In a .vimrc
, is it possib开发者_JS百科le to load a color scheme only if it exists?
Using :colorscheme
in a try-catch as Randy has done may be enough if you just want to load it if it exists and do something else otherwise. If you are not interested in the else part, a simple :silent! colorscheme
is enough.
Otherwise, globpath()
is the way to go. You may, then, check each path returned with filereadable()
if you really wish to.
" {rtp}/autoload/has.vim
function! has#colorscheme(name) abort
let pat = 'colors/'.a:name.'.vim'
return !empty(globpath(&rtp, pat))
endfunction
" .vimrc
if has#colorscheme('desert')
...
EDIT: filereadable($HOME.'/.vim/colors/'.name.'.vim')
may seem simple and it's definitively attractive, but this is not enough if the colorscheme we're looking for is elsewhere. Typically if it has been installed in another directory thanks to a plugin manager. In that case the only reliable way is to check in the vim 'runtimepath'
(a.k.a. 'rtp'
). Hence globpath()
. Note that :colorscheme name
command searches in {rtp}/colors/{name}.vim
.
An alternative to @eckes answer would be to try to load the colorscheme and deal with the error if it doesn't exist:
try
colorscheme mayormaynotexist
catch /^Vim\%((\a\+)\)\=:E185/
" deal with it
endtry
You could use the filereadable
function to check if a color scheme (e.g. schemename
) exists: check once under ~/vimfiles/colors
(Win32, for Unix use ~/.vim/colors/
) and once under $VIMRUNTIME/colors/
:
if filereadable("/path/to/schemename.vim")
colo schemename
endif
My method is similar,
if filereadable( expand("$HOME/.vim/colors/railscast.vim") )
colorscheme railscast
endif
This is a little more robust than hardcoding the entire path.
Normally I use a favorite colorscheme
with a fallback if my favorite is not available. A nested try
will make this work:
try
colorscheme solarized
catch
try
colorscheme peachpuff
catch
endtry
endtry
If neither colorscheme
is available, the default one is loaded (whatever that happens to be on your system). No errors are shown if one or both of the colorschemes are not available. Put your preferred colorscheme
first.
Also, catch
with no arguments catches any error. This is handy if you are dealing with different locales that give different error messages.
This is wat I have in my .vimrc
file.
if filereadable( expand("$HOME/.vim/colors/sublimemonokai.vim") )
colorscheme sublimemonokai "https://github.com/ErichDonGubler/vim-sublime-monokai
" vim-sublime-monokai only support 256 colours in terminal. If you are using a terminal which support truecolor like iterm2, enable the GUI color
set termguicolors
" Otherwise, use below setting to activate the 256 color in terminal
set t_Co=256
else
echom "The sublimemonokai.vim were not found to be used as colorscheme. elflord will be set for the timebeing..."
colorscheme elflord
endif
basically it does check to see if the color scheme I like exists on the machine or not. If it does, it will select it and apply all the setting necessary for it. Otherwise it choose a suitable color scheme that is shipped with vim.
By looking at other answers, my answer shares bit part with @user427390 answer and it has an additional else condition.

and vim related files:
