iterm2 vim 8.1 color weird

iterm2 3.3.9

I am unable to reproduce this with the same versions of iTerm2 and Vim. Some follow-up questions:

1. Are you using tmux?
2. Have you tried finding the minimal repro case by removing other things in your Vim config?

I am encountering this issue.

Deleted all plugins and re-installed them.

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Dec 13 2019 14:45:40)
Included patches: 1-503, 505-680, 682-1312

No tmux - same results though.
iTerm 2 Build 3.3.9

Since I'm unable to reproduce, would appreciate if someone could figure out repro steps.

[Reid Cooper]

I reinstalled iTerm and Vim. Didn't fix it.

But I nuked my ~/.vim directory and started over which solved the problem for me.

I had a feeling it was something to do with vim-plug but I have no idea.

Thanks. My issue has been solved.

@reidcooper can you make a repo with working config?

[Konstantin]

here is my example config:
https://github.com/gko/vimrc-material-example

works perfectly with neovim

but for some reason not with vim (iterm or terminal)

tried both importing colors into iterm and without importing them.

.zshrc add
alias vim='/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim'
fixed it

[doco]

vim version 8.2.319

vim in macOS doesn't support termguicolors.

So there are three options:

1. update vim to 8.2 and get the support in iTerm 2
2. add cterm support in color theme (added draft #41)
3. check for termguicolors support and set a fallback theme like here:

Please see the readme. Information about true colors can be found here.

@kaicataldo I know, I just summed it up for the people that will come across this issue
