helm-do-ag-project-root doesn't work about helm-ag HOT 9 CLOSED

Sorry late response.

Would you tell me how to reproduce this issue in detail ?

I cannot reproduce this issue now. helm-do-ag-project-root calls helm-do-ag from project root,
so I suppose if helm-do-ag works then helm-do-ag-project-root works too.

from helm-ag.

No problem, thanks for answering!

M-x helm-do-ag-project-root RET opens a prompt. Whatever I type, nothing happens.

M-x helm-do-ag RET opens a prompt to choose a file. If I just press Enter, the directory seems to be selected. However, upon typing, nothing happens.

If on the other hand I choose a file instead of a folder/directory I can successfully search in that file (but not in the directory).

Does this have something to do with Windows perhaps?

Please upgrade helm-ag version and try. I fixed helm-do-ag issue for the platinum searcher.
So this issue may be resolved by that fix.

Unfortunately, it does not work with the new version...

Thanks for checking.

FYI: the platinum searcher(pt) is better than the silver searcher(ag) for Windows users. You can download its binary from here.

You need to add following configuration for using the platinum searcher(pt) instead of the silver searcher(ag)

(setq helm-ag-base-command "pt --nocolor --nogroup")

from helm-ag.

Thanks! I just gave pt a try and one thing does work, the other doesn't. ;-)

OK: helm-do-ag, then select directory does successfully search all files
Doesn't work: helm-do-ag-project-root, still doesn't return any results

from helm-ag.

I suppose this issue was fixed by #114.
Please update to latest version and try again.

from helm-ag.

Great! :-) I just updated and indeed it does work! Thanks for fixing this!
