E185: Cannot find color scheme 'wal'

[ducks4rule]

I get this error when opening vim documets:

E185: Cannot find color scheme 'wal'

and the color scheme doesn't change. Is there a way to set "wal" manually?

Hey, I am having the same issue. Have you been able to fix it?

Hey, I am also getting the same. any progress?

Did you follow the instructions from Plug?

[nilnil47]

here is my ~/.vimrc:
vimrc.txt

If I have understood the instruction correctly, so after putting the lines:

Plug 'dylanaraps/wal'
colorscheme wal
set background=dark

and run :PlugInstall, it should work at the next opening of vim.

but instead, I got the following:

➜  probability vi 
Error detected while processing /Users/user/.vimrc:
line   25:
E185: Cannot find color scheme 'wal'
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I believe that the plugins are "loaded" on call plug#end(), so you should load wal after that.
Also, I have to say that you don't really need to set the colorscheme to use latex stuff. If you want specifically to generate a colorscheme matching your wallpaper, I'd suggest to not rely on this particular repo and instead take a look at pyval as wal has been deprecated.

What worked for me was the following procedure.

Insert Plug 'dylanaraps/wal.vim' into the list of plugins, then add colorscheme wal after call plug#end().

Run :PlugInstall in vim.

Install pywall instead of wall using the procedure described in their installation and setup guide. Be sure to follow their guide to ensure persistence across terminals/reboots.

Run wal --theme base16-nord in terminal.

Run :PlugUpdate in vim. After running this, you should have your theme working and lose the Cannot find color scheme 'wal' error message.

Finally, I would like to express my deep sadness upon finding out that Gilles passed away last year. I've emailed him in 2020 to thank him for his guide, and he took his time to thank me for making his day brighter.

I only wish that brightness could have lasted forever.
