glitch with search results & quickfix window

[troygoode]

Related to #57 (comment) and #58.

There is currently a bug that introduces some wonkiness with getting the search results to show within the quickfix window. Here is the issue:

• The first time I run :Ag example the search is run (in the background), the first result is automatically opened, the quickfix window is not opened, and the status bar says No matches for "example".
• While on a file that is also the first result of the search you're about to execute running :Ag example will now correctly open the quickfix window, but now when you load one of the results into a buffer with o the quickfix window's results are cleared away.

I am using Square's maximum-awesome plugin set (default bundles here) on OS X Yosemite with vim 7.4.52.

Here are some screenshots illustrating the above:

Can you post any g:ag* variables you've set? I'm trying to reproduce this with little luck. Thanks!

I don't have any g:ag* variables set manually. I do have set nomodeline due to #57 (comment)

I’m seeing this issue too. I’ve managed to find what appears to be the culprit in a broad sense: using the jshint.vim plugin when the ag.vim search results include JavaScript files causes this behavior to occur. Note that this same behavior occurs with the ack.vim plugin & :Ack instead of :Ag.

Having only the jshint.vim + ag/ack.vim plugins exposes the issue, and removing only the jshint.vim plugin resolves it. I’m not sure what in there is causing it, but it’s at least a starting point.

It seems to be that jshint.vim runs when entering the buffer by default, so if the first result is a JavaScript file, then ag.vim opens it, jshint.vim runs and populates the quickfix list with its errors (with are none in most cases), overriding the quickfix list that ag.vim just populated.

Set g:JSHintUpdateWriteOnly=1 to disable this behavior in jshint.vim. See also wookiehangover/jshint.vim#36.

Nice find. Thanks for that. Fixed for me.
