Ignore regexp for counsel-projectile-ag? about counsel-projectile HOT 12 CLOSED

Um, can we just reuse the pattern of .projectile? I have this ignore list but it doesn't affect counsel-projectile-ag/rg's behavior.

-/c6
-/c6build

Yes, there is an optional argument OPTIONS to pass any option you like to ag. For instance:

(counsel-projectile-ag "--ignore some/path")

You can call counsel-projectile-ag with a C-u prefix to input the options string interactively.

If you want to setup counsel-projectile-ag to systematically ignore certain paths, you could instead add these paths to the variables projectile-ignored-files-rel and/or projectile-ignored-directories-rel.

the output of projectile-ag is quite weird. I cannot see any file names. The ag command is ag --ignore \*.elc --ignore \*.pyc --ignore \*.o --literal --group --line-number --column --color --color-match 30\;43 --color-path 1\;32 --smart-case --stats -- BackgroundProcessingPool .

Doesn't seem to obey your .projectile file either.

Can you call these three functions from a project buffer and copy the output?

(projectile-project-vcs)
(projectile-ignored-files-rel)
(projectile-ignored-directories-rel)

from counsel-projectile.

they are

git
(".DS_Store" "Icon" "TAGS")
(".idea/" ".ensime_cache/" ".eunit/" ".git/" ".hg/" ".fslckout/" "_FOSSIL_/" ".bzr/" "_darcs/" ".tox/" ".svn/" ".stack-work/" "../../.emacs.d/.local/" ".sync/" "contrib/" "c6/" "c6build/" "chdbg/" "clickhouse/" "dbg/" "rel/" "debian/")

So, projectile-ignored-directories-rel correctly parses your .projectile file, but projectile-ag and counsel-projectile-ag do not pay attention to the .projectile file for git projects. This is because git has its own .gitignore file and ag parses it natively. I would suggest to use .gitignore instead of .projectile for such projects.

Hmm, some directories are not suitable for gitignore, such as test and contrib folders.

Can you update to latest commit, set counsel-projectile-ag-use-gitignore-only to nil and let me know if it works?

@ericdanan thanks! it works perfectly.

I just pushed another commit and that variable is no longer there, the behavior you want is now the default.

This means counsel-projectile-ag and counsel-projectile-rg work a bit differently from their projectile analogues, but I think it is more consistent with counsel-projectile-find-file (or equivalently projectile-find-file) in the sense that all these functions (hopefully) now look at the same set of files in a project.

When you call counsel-projectile-ag or counsel-projectile-rg with a prefix arg you have full control on the options to be passed to ag or rg including which paths are ignored.

Please open a new issue if needed.
