Telescope Setup -- find_command

[mthomps4]

Description

The below works from both the command line and keybindings, but does not seem to work when placing within the telescope.setup({pickers block

Works:

:Telescope find_files find_command=rg,--ignore,--hidden,--files,-u,--glob,!**/.git/*,--glob,!**/node_modules/*

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>ff', ":Telescope find_files find_command=rg,--ignore,--hidden,--files,-u,--glob,!**/.git/*,--glob,!**/node_modules/*,--glob,!**/.next/*<CR>")

Not working

    pickers = {
      find_files = {
        find_command = {"rg", "--files", "--hidden", "--ignore", "-u", "--glob=!**/.git/*", "--glob=!**/node_modules/*"},    
      }
    },

Steps to reproduce

Keybindings reverted back to below via docs:

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>ff', builtin.find_files, {})

add to setup

    pickers = {
      find_files = {
        find_command = {"rg", "--files", "--hidden", "--ignore", "-u", "--glob=!**/.git/*", "--glob=!**/node_modules/*"},    
      }
    },

• open a project in nvim
• ff
• Search for hidden file or ignored file.

Expected behavior

Hidden and Ignored files are found.
Example:

• ff
• search .env.loc
• see .env.local file

Actual behavior

With setup > long string keybind

• ff
• search .env.loc
• no files found

Minimal config

vim.cmd [[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]]
vim.cmd [[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]]
local package_root = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack'
local install_path = package_root .. '/packer/start/packer.nvim'
local function load_plugins()
  require('packer').startup {
    {
      'wbthomason/packer.nvim',
      {
        'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
        requires = {
          'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
          { 'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'make' },
        },
      },
      -- ADD PLUGINS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
    },
    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = install_path .. '/plugin/packer_compiled.lua',
      display = { non_interactive = true },
    },
  }
end
_G.load_config = function()
  require('telescope').setup({
    pickers = {
      find_files = {
        find_command = {"rg", "--files", "--hidden", "--ignore", "-u", "--glob=!**/.git/*", "--glob=!**/node_modules/*", "--glob=!**/.next/*"},    
      }
    }
})
  require('telescope').load_extension('fzf')
  -- ADD INIT.LUA SETTINGS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print("Installing Telescope and dependencies.")
  vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path }
end
load_plugins()
require('packer').sync()
vim.cmd [[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once echo "Ready!" | lua load_config()]]

it works with the minimal rc for me. Could you reproduce this issue with running the minimal rc? nvim -nu min.lua

[Conni2461]

found the issue, i forgot to backport a fix to 0.1.x that was already merged into master. I am going to do that now

[Conni2461]

The fix (and a bunch of more fixes) are now all backported. Can you confirm that it works? Then we can close this issue

[mthomps4]

@Conni2461 Thank you so much for the quick reply.
Making sure I'm not overlooking something, but seem to still be hitting the same issue.

• resaved plugin-config -- saw changes from 11 hours ago
• Keybinding is now vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>ff', builtin.find_files, {})
• telescope config:

    pickers = {
      find_files = {
        find_command = {"rg", "--files", "--hidden", "--ignore", "-u", "--glob=!**/.git/*", "--glob=!**/node_modules/*"},    
      }
    },

[mthomps4]

Tried a few more things -- more of the same.
Deleted the plugin download cache from packer.
Reinstalled
Tried both tag and branch
Added fd
I see the fixes that were merged -- but it's still only working for me if I do the long hand below.

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>ff', ":Telescope find_files find_command=rg,--ignore,--hidden,--files,-u,--glob,!**/.git/*,--glob,!**/node_modules/*,--glob,!**/.next/*<CR>")

Left with ☝🏼 for now.

I couldn't make it work with --glob or --iglob with rg, but declaring the stuff I want to ignore in file_ignore_patterns works as expected:

telescope.setup {
    defaults = {
      file_ignore_patterns = {
        "node_modules/",
        "vendor/",
        ".git/"
    }
  }
}

pretty the glob flag and the glob pattern should be in their own separate strings.
something like
"--glob=!**/.git/*" -> "--glob", "!**/.git/*"

I've been using this for a while.

I'm going to close this as I don't think this is a bug and at worst it looks like there's some workarounds.
