Cannot install into Vim 9 on Mac OS using built-in plugin manager

[dmitry-tomp]

I have tried to follow instructions in orgguide.txt to install the plugin to Vim 9 on my Mac. Particularly I did this:

1. Run these commands in shell

    mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start
    cd ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start
    git clone https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode

2. Added this content to a (newly created) ~/.vimrc:

    packloadall
    silent! helptags ALL

Then I created a dummy.org file and put the following content

* Task 1
** Task 2

It showed me the file but I could not use any org-mode functionality, neither was any syntax highlighting enabled.
I suspect that the reason is that packpath value on Mac's vim is different from that on popular Linux distros.
Anyway now I have to figure out how Vim scans paths to load packages based on packpath, just to start using orgmode.

Did anyone encounter a similar problem and how did you solve it?

P.S. My packpath value on startup is ~/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim90,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after

Ok I have solved the problem for myself by using pathogen. Anyway the documented steps are clearly not working on some problems, so documentation can be improved there.

I had the same issue.
Seems like the plugin is not loaded unless we explicitly tell vim where to look for.
I added this to my vimrc
set runtimepath+=~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start/vim-orgmode/

I agree that the documentation should be fixed (or the plugin should just work according to the documentation)
