coffeetags not found?

[kaushalmodi]

Hi,

I don't use coffeescript and so I don't have to have coffeetags installed.

I get this error when I run "ctags --help"

$MY_USR_LOCAL//libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags: line 31: coffeetags: command not found

How can I make ctags not look for coffeetags?

Thanks.

I have the same issue:

sudo make install
cp -p ctags /usr/local/bin/ctags  &&  chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ctags
cp -p ./ctags.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/ctags.1  &&  chmod 644 /usr/local/share/man/man1/ctags.1
for c in ctags.ctags RFC1213-MIB.txt; do \
        cp -p ./data/corpora/$c /usr/local/share/ctags/corpora/$c && chmod 644 /usr/local/share/ctags/corpora/$c; \
    done
for c in coffee.ctags ctags.ctags mib.ctags rust.ctags ; do \
        cp -p ./data/optlib/$c /usr/local/share/ctags/optlib/$c && chmod 644 /usr/local/share/ctags/optlib/$c; \
    done
for c in coffee.ctags ctags.ctags mib.ctags rust.ctags ; do \
        echo "--options=$(basename $c .ctags)" >> /usr/local/share/ctags/preload/default.ctags; \
    done; \
    chmod 644 /usr/local/share/ctags/preload/default.ctags
for x in coffeetags; do \
        cp -p ./libexec/drivers/$x /usr/local/libexec/ctags/drivers/$x && chmod 755 /usr/local/libexec/ctags/drivers/$x; \
    done
cp -p readtags /usr/local/bin/readtags  &&  chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/readtags
wm/tmp/ctags [master]  % exec $SHELL
wm/tmp/ctags [master]  % ctags 
ctags: cannot open option file "/usr/local/share/ctags/optlib/coffee.ctags" : No such file or directory

But the coffee.tags file is there with the following content:

Thank you for spotting.
I fixed this in HEAD of master. Could you try again?

[wikimatze]

It is working, thanks for the fix. During the make install step I got the following warning:

options.c: In function ‘parseConfigurationFileOptions’:
options.c:2495:11: warning: ignoring return value of ‘asprintf’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
  asprintf (&filename,"/etc/%s.conf", filename_body);
           ^

Do you plan to create tags for releases? I think not everybody wants to pull from master.

[kaushalmodi]

I am getting this error and I built it the same way after doing git pull.

lxcmd.o: In function `loadPathKinds':
/home/kmodi/downloads/git/ctags/lxcmd.c:292: undefined reference to `WIFEXITED'
/home/kmodi/downloads/git/ctags/lxcmd.c:292: undefined reference to `WEXITSTATUS'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ctags] Error 1

[masatake]

@wikimatze, still many things before releasing. First of all I don't know how to create tar.gz or tar.xz; makefiles are assumed the source code is managed with svn.

[masatake]

@kaushalmodi, Could you try the head again?

[kaushalmodi]

Works for me now. Thanks!

[kaushalmodi]

I don't get an error but I get this warning every time I run ctags:

ctags: Warning: xcmd recognizes /home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags is not available

[masatake]

Could you show the output of

$ find /home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags

?
ctags says it cannot find /home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags.

[kaushalmodi]

The /home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags file is
actually available.

Also, I don't work with coffeescript. I have this in my .ctags:

--languages=SystemVerilog,C,C++,HTML,Lisp,Make,Matlab,Perl,Python,Sh,Tex

Here's the output of the find command you suggested:

/home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags
/home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags/drivers
/home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags

I get that warning even on doing ctags --version:

km²~/:> ctags --version
ctags: Warning: xcmd recognizes /home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags is not available

[masatake]

Even if you set something in .ctags, the warning should not be printed if the code I wrote works as expected:-P. My code must works well even in environment where coffeetags is not installed.

Could you try following two commands?
$ /home/kmodi/usr_local2/libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags --list-kinds
...
$ echo $?
....

In my environment:
/var/tmp/libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags --list-kinds
/var/tmp/libexec/ctags/drivers/coffeetags --list-kinds
f function
c class
o object
v var
p proto
b block
[yamato@localhost]~/Downloads/kSar-5.0.7% echo $?
echo $?
0

[kaushalmodi]

The coffeetags --list-kinds command resulted in nothing, no display.
echo $? returned 77.

[masatake]

Thank you. I have just remembered that the message means ctags cannot find coffeetags command.
You can ignore this message.

It is nice if you can disable coffeetags related configuration in .ctags, .ctags.d or somewhere.
However, the policy and mechanism of configuration files are still under discussion.

Instead I'm thinking about preparing --quiet option.
Some work is needed.

[masatake]

Try the code of HEAD; the warning message you reported will be suppressed with --quiet option.

[kaushalmodi]

Thanks it works!

This is probably not a big deal, but ctags --help --quiet does not work but ctags --quiet --help works as expected in quietening the warning.

I anyways added --quiet to my ~/.ctags so the above anomaly doesn't affect me.
