$HOME/.ctags not used

[Fmajor]

i'm trying different version of ctags to test some features (8465ce7 in the master and 8330eea in pull #1581)

but now i find that my .ctags are not used

e.g ctags --list-languages does not include 'mvue' type, but i think several days before when i use the latest version in the master branch, i can see my 'mvue' type

my .ctags file in $HOME

It was changed recently. See #1519 for detail.
Use ~/.ctags.d/*.ctags instead.

using git blame, i also just found the reason...

    [SELF INCOMPATIBLE][INCOMPATIBLE] main: rewrite code for loading configuration files in starting up

    Configuration files loading at starting up time are changed.

    * loading $HOME/.ctags.d/*.ctags if $HOME is defined as environment variable,
    * loading  $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH/ctags.d/*.ctags if both $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH
      are defined as environment variables,
    * loading .ctags.d/*.ctags, and
    * loading ctags.d/*.ctags

    Universal-ctags doesn't refer system configuration directories like /etc/ctags.

    TODO: These things should be written in docs/*.rst and man pages.

i think you should highlight the changes in the documents...

So we need to rename .ctags to .ctags.d?

[masatake]

No, you need to rename your .ctags to .ctagd.d/foo.ctags where foo is any string your file system accepts.

[k-takata]

.ctagd.d/foo.ctags -> .ctags.d/foo.ctags

@Fmajor Hello, I am using your configuration, but I have the following error

[masatake]

--regex-mvue=/^\S*(.*(v-if=|v-for=|v-show=)"[^"]*")/\1/c,vue-command/{scope=ref}

You cannot use - in a kind name. You can rewrite the line like this:

--regex-mvue=/^\S*(.*(v-if=|v-for=|v-show=)"[^"]*")/\1/c,vueCommand/{scope=ref}
