E40 "Can't open errorfile"

[Boris-26]

:grep always terminates with E40 "Can't open errorfile", whereas !!ls
works

set shell=bash
set shellcmdflag=--norc\ -c
set shellquote=
set shellxquote=\"
set shellslash
set grepformat=%*[^\w]\ %l\ %f\ %m,%f:%l:%m,%f:%l%m,path\ %l\ %f\ ,%f\
%l%m
set grepprg=/usr/bin/find\ .\ -name\ '*.cpp'\ -or\ -name\ '*.cs'\ -or\
-name\ '*.c'\ -or\ -name\ '*.asm'\ -or\ -name\ '*.h'\ -or\ -name\
'*.ini'\ -or\ -name\ '*.reg'\ \\\\|\ xargs\ grep\ -nH\ $*

The command works when executed from the terminal. Do you have any
hints?

Looks to me like the shellcmdflag is the culprit. My bash grumps "--norc
-c: invalid option" which suggests what you intended to be two options
is being passed as one.

If that's not it, I'd look to shellslash which may be changing that
backslash before your pipe into a forward slash and screwing things up
(though if you're on the Mac I don't see why that option would be
available/useful anyway). And if not that, I'd try doing :set verbose=5
or some number in that vicinity and looking at what Vim outputs.

Ben.

Sorry Ben, I'd mixed up the settings with the one of my Windows
installation (where it works). My settings on MacVim are actually

        set shell=bash
        set shellcmdflag=-c
        set shellquote=
        set shellxquote=\"
        set noshelltemp

Here is what macvim says with verbose=5

bash: /usr/bin/find . -name '*.cpp' -or -name '*.cs' -or -name '*.c' -
or -name '*.asm' -or -name '*.h' -or -name '*.ini' -or -name '*.reg' |
xargs grep -nH renewcommand 2>&1| tee /var/folders/RY/
RYGxulQVHJO96WoXLe3tp++++TI/-Tmp-/v528793/2: No such file or directory

Any idea?

I think you want shellxquote set to blank. It looks like bash is
interpreting the entire commandline as a single quoted string and trying
to find an executable with that name.

Ben.
