quickopen and search command doesn't work

[shunjinchan]

• VSCode Version: 1.19.1
• OS Version: macOS High Sierra

Steps to Reproduce:

1. cmd + p, type filename.**
2. cannot find filename.** in ./src and ./dest

• Reproduces with extensions: Yes
• Reproduces without extensions: Yes

search.action.focusActiveEditor had the same problem. But they were working normally on the vscode 1.18.1

Do you have any file.exclude or search.exclude settings that could impact this? Can you run a search that should find a result in that config.js, and show the output of the search output pane?

./src and ./dest folders are not exclude.

Search modules/site-info

Search modules/site-info with ./src, 5 modules/site-info were found

I think search modules/site-info in project root path, 1 modules/site-info was found because ./src/core/config.js was open. It's really weird.

My English is very poor, hope you can understand it. 😂

I found another strange problem, use the same workspace settings, quickopen and search.action.focusActiveEditor work normally. Maybe this is the problem of my project, not the bug of vscode.

@roblourens

I found the cause of this problem.

The project (A) is the submodule of another project (B), and the .gitignore file of B project had /static/src and /static/dest configuration. so vscode exclude these two folders.

Delete /static/src and /static/dest, quickopen and search.action.focusActiveEditor work normally.

Thanks for the investigation - you can also set "search.useIgnoreFiles": false to disable using gitignore files.

What was your problem with search.action.focusActiveEditor? I don't understand that part.

I think it's confusing to use .gitignore files from parent directories... I will push a fix to not do that.
