MacVim colorscheme on load

Question

I have installed a new colorscheme. I added it to my .vimrc but when I load up macvim its not loading up. After loading a file if I type :colorscheme sourcerer it loads up. What am I missing here?

You need to put the line containing colorscheme sourcerer below the Vundle setup stuff. It seems like it should have given you some related error. With your original .vimrc I’m given the message:

Error detected while processing /home/xyz/.vimrc:
line   50:
E185: Cannot find color scheme 'sourcerer'No protocol specified

Press ENTER or type command to continue

But moving the colorscheme line to the bottom works well.
