FTDetect files not getting sourced

I am using my vim-slim plugin with vundle.

When I just use it with vundle, it ignores the ftdetect (It appears since the highlighting does not kick in) but when I manually run the commands out of the ftdetect file (IE :autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.slim set filetype=slim) and then open the slim files it loads the syntax highlighting.

Is there any reason that vundle would be ignoring the ftdetect directory?

Ok, that's the case when you Vundle configuration should look like this

filetype off
" vundle configuration here
" ...
filetype plugin indent on

Please let me know if it works for you..

PS: i couldn't reproduce this issue before... I'll update the docs
Thank you!

Having problems with this for some plugins like VimClojure or Bundle 'acustodioo/vim-tmux' which use ftdetect.
i do have filetype off and filetype plugin indent on
myvimrc is @ https://github.com/locojay/locovim/blob/master/vimrc.
Thanks for helping

As seen above, lots of UltiSnips users end up running into filetype-related issues if they configure this incorrectly (e.g. when using the UltiSnipsEdit command). For me, it was important to have the entire block of Vundle configuration in one piece, with the two filetype calls immediately above and below it (as shown by @gmarik above). Hopefully this helps someone who comes across this in the future.
