How do I resolve this error when I try to open a file with vim

I am on MacOS (Sierra), I am opening an empty new file with the following command

vi test_file.txt

But then I get this error in the terminal in red color.

Error detected while processing VimEnter Auto commands for "*": E492: Not an editor command: ++nested if &filetype !~# '^git' | call kite#onboarding#call() | endif Press ENTER or type command to continue

It seems to overlay on top of any test if present in an opened file.

Any idea what I should try to correct this?

Start Terminal and run the following to open your vim startup file with TextEdit. i.e. without needing vim, so that you can put it right.

open -e $HOME/.vimrc

Probably you have some kind of error on your vimrc, try loading vim without any setting:

vim -u NONE test_file.txt

After editing your file you can try to figure out waht the problem is.
