Problems getting search to follow symlinks about vim-ags HOT 4 CLOSED

After running :Ags --follow pattern try running :AgsShowLastCommand to see the actual ag command that was run. Then try that in a terminal and see what results you get. If the results are different that would be a bug.

This was not the problem I thought. I was searching in my dotfiles. All the files were being ignored by Ag by default since they were hidden files. Got that fixed. Thank you for the debugging tip.

Can you address how to add new default args? I would like hidden files to be searched by default, so I will need to add --hidden to the default arguments for the search. How can I do this since let g:ags_agargs['--hidden'] = ['',''] causes vim to complain?

You'd have to define g:ags_agargs in your vimrc. Something like below

let g:ags_agargs = {
            \ '--break'             : [ '', '' ],
            \ '--color'             : [ '', '' ],
            \ '--hidden'            : [ '', '' ],
            \ '--color-line-number' : [ '"1;30"', '' ],
            \ '--color-match'       : [ '"32;40"', '' ],
            \ '--color-path'        : [ '"1;31"', '' ],
            \ '--column'            : [ '', '' ],
            \ '--context'           : [ 'g:ags_agcontext', '-C' ],
            \ '--filename'          : [ '', '' ],
            \ '--group'             : [ '', '' ],
            \ '--heading'           : [ '', '-H' ],
            \ '--max-count'         : [ 'g:ags_agmaxcount', '-m' ],
            \ '--numbers'           : [ '', '' ]
            \ }

Or you may be able to do it the way you had it but put it in a place that runs after the plugins are loaded. For example with pathogen you'd put it in an after directory.
