Code folding is not saved in my vimrc

Question

I added the following code to my .vimrc:

\" save and restore folds when a file is closed and re-opened
autocmd BufWinLeave *.* mkview
autocmd BufWinEnter *.* sil

Add this to the top of your vimrc to make sure the viewdir is present

let &viewdir=expand("$HOME") . "/.bk/.vim/viewdir"
if !isdirectory(expand(&viewdir))|call mkdir(expand(&viewdir), "p", 451)|endif

Then this in your autocmds section:

autocmd BufWrite * mkview
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead * silent loadview
