RG: Ignoring dirs

[barrett-ruth]

how the heck do i ignore a directory with rg_opts and fzf-lua

it works perfectly via cli but not when I pass identical args to rg_opts

Whatever works in the cli should work in fzf-lua, run :FzfLua live_grep debug=true and explore the underlying command as you type, fzf-lua merely displays the output of the shell command.

Alternatively you can also use file_ignore_patterns which uses lua pattern matching as part of the output processing to ignore certain patterns, but IMHO using cmd|rg_opts is preferable as it would be filtered at the shell leading to better performance.

My config mistake.

BTW, for anyone else reading this, I've made my fzf-lua configs identical both in the shell and neovim like so:

.zprofile:

export FZF_LUA_RG_OPTS="$(tr '\n' ' ' < "$RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH")"

fzf setup:

opts = {
        files = {
            fd_opts = vim.env.FZF_CTRL_T_COMMAND:match(' (.*)'),
        },
        fzf_args = vim.env.FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS,
        grep = {
            rg_opts = vim.env.FZF_LUA_RG_OPTS,
        }
}

RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH

If you want this considered in fzf-lua I can easily add an option that you can pass under grep which will be relayed to the main process:

        grep = {
            RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH = vim.env.RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH,
        }

Lmk if you find this valuable I can add it pretty quick.

See f5240e3, use:

require("fzf-lua").setup({
  grep = { RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH = vim.env.RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH }
})

@ibhagwan hate to say this, but there is probably never going to be a global fd config file. - I recommend removing FD_CONFIG_PATH for the sake of correctness - it is also completely meaningless to fd as of now.

While we’re at it, fix the typo you have in quick fix :)
https://github.com/barrett-ruth/dots/blob/dc9cbca3ce57152b0e0cbaa3e9cf8fb7424fc91c/nvim/lua/plugins/fzf.lua#L81

Also, if you haven’t seen yet it’s worth exploring the new formatters:

formatter = "path.dirname_first"  -- directory has a special highlight group FzfLuaDirPart
formatter = "path.filename_first" -- VScode-like format where filename is first
formatter = { "path.filename_first", v = 2 } -- same as above with hidden path part for logical search (so you can still search /foo/bar

[barrett-ruth]

No way, this is super cool. fzf clears telescope in my humble objective subjective opinion

Hey sorry, two last things:

1. typo

2. I pretty much only use live_grep_native, and passing the formatter config (string or table) to my opts doesn't work:

        grep = {
            RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH = vim.env.RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH,
            no_header_i = true,
            formatter = { 'path.filename_first' }
        },

while the following works:

FzfLua live_grep_native formatter=path.filename_first

I've noticed all the other settings (two right now) I pass to the grep key get "inherited" by all fzf-lua grep-related functions - except for formatter. Is there a discrepancy or am I missing something here?

This is by design, the "native" version is designed for max performance and, as its name suggests, is native to the shell i.e. the rg command is piped directly to fzf, this prevents any processing from being done by the lua wrapper code (as it's never called).

Any type of lua processing path_shorten, file_ignore_patterns, file_icons, git_icons, formatters, etc, will never work with live_grep_native, this also applies to glob processing so you can never do foo -- *.lua to search only lua files, which you can do with live_grep_glob (or if you set grep = { rg_glob=true }).
