ivy-set-display-transformer doesn't work for counsel-describe-ivy

[casouri]

I executed

(ivy-set-display-transformer 'counsel-describe-face (lambda (str) (format "%s modified" str)))

then called counsel-describe-face, but the candidates are not modified. Did I miss anything?

This is because ivy-read looks up the display transformer based (effectively) only on its :caller argument, which counsel-describe-face fails to specify. I have added the :caller argument for counsel-describe-face in #1620, but the question of whether ivy-read should also consult this-command remains.

This question is addressed by #1621.

Cool! Thanks. 😄

You could have waited until #1620 and/or #1621 were merged before closing this issue. :)

I’m just afraid that I will forgot and leave this open. I really don’t like stacking issues like what they got in spacemacs repo.

But it’s right to remain open until the issue is proven to be fixed. I agree.
