Bundles not updating on Windows

[galli-a]

I just started to see the same errors as issue #175 on Windows.
This happened after switching from Windows XP to Windows 7.
I installed MsysGit, but with no luck.
The default shell for Vim is C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe, but even after changing that to C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\bash.exe, with different levels of escape, I still get the errors.

The errors I get are:

Processing 'gmarik/vundle'
Error detected while processing function vundle#installer#new..<SNR>129_process..vundle#installer#run..vundle#installer#install..<SNR>129_sync..<SNR>129_system:

Can you upload .vimrc? It should be minimal(less than 50 lines).
It seems shell settings problem.
And the version is latest?

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Aug 10 2013 14:38:33)
Big version with GUI

A minimal _vimrc file with just a few Bundles set is

" prevent vi compatibility mode {{{
set nocompatible
" }}}

" set encoding to UTF-8 {{{
set encoding=utf-8
" }}}

" vundle settings {{{
" uses vundle
filetype off
" Setting up Vundle
let iCanHazVundle=1
set shellxquote=""
let vundle_readme=expand('~/.vim/bundle/vundle/README.md')
if !filereadable(vundle_readme)
    echo "Installing Vundle..."
    echo ""
    silent !mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
    silent !git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle ~/.vim/bundle/vundle
    let iCanHazVundle=0
endif
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
call vundle#rc()

" let Vundle manage Vundle
Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'

" plugin list

" visualize undo tree

" solarized color scheme

    echo "Installing Bundles, please ignore key map error messages"
    echo ""

endif
" end setting up Vundle

@galli-a Can I ask why you are manually setting shellxquote? Please comment out this line and retry on Windows with the cmd.exe shell. This variable is used to escape special characters, for cmd.exe it should not be an empty string if I read the vimdocs for this option correctly.

You may also want to see the wiki page for Windows setup (https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim/wiki/Vundle-for-Windows). It explains why you should probably use _vimrc & vimfiles instead of the linux names.

Edit: If you are new to Vim, before using options in your vimrc read their vimdoc: i.e. :help shellxquote.

[galli-a]

I actually don't remember why I included that option. In my git history it shows up in an unrelated commit, so I am not sure why that was there. I'll comment the line and let you know.

In fact, on windows I am using _vimrc, but kept the .vim folder to keep the same vimrc file on all systems (Windows and OS X).

[starcraftman]

@galli-a Having one .vimrc that specifies different folders for Windows/Linux is possible. See an example on mine. This might be something I should add to the wiki, since it only really mentions replacing text. Also, I'm not sure now, Vundle probably should assume vimfiles on windows. I'll check that.

[galli-a]

That was it. Removing the shellxquote option solved the issue.
Thanks for your help in figuring this out.
I'll check out yout vimrc to see how the compatibility for different platform is done.

@galli-a good !
