magit-todos-update hangs on MacOS

[smaret]

magit-todos looks like a very nice emacs package, but I can't get it to work on my computer (Mac OS 10.13.2, Emacs 26.1, magit-todos 20180904.1753 installed from MELPA).

I've turn on the magit-todos-mode in the magit buffer for my project. Typing j-T displays: "No TODOs section". Then when I try to update the list manually with magit-todos-update Emacs hangs.

I've installed both ripgrep and git grep and the method is set to "Automatic".

Hi Sebastien,

Typing j-T displays: "No TODOs section"

I guess that means that you opened the magit-status buffer and then enabled magit-todos-mode. It's intended that you enable magit-todos-mode (which is global, not buffer-local) and then open the magit-status buffer. But in case you do it that way, if you refresh the magit-status buffer by pressing g, it should work then.

I made a couple of fixes to avoid the loop and tell the user that the mode should be activated first. Thank you for reporting this issue.
