Option to search a specific folder? about coc-lists HOT 6 CLOSED

@chemzqm I'm finally getting around to playing with this fix and noticing that it still doesn't seem to work. For example, if I run:

CocList grep packages/some-package

I would expect, based on what you said, that it would limit the search to the packages/some-package folder. Instead, the list is prepopulated with results for packages/some-package. The problem, I suspect, is because grep, ag & rg expect the path to be the last positional param, but since the search pattern comes before it I can't prepopulate the command with the path. It seems like having a way to write a custom command that can inject the input (ie. replace %I with the input if it exists) would allow for this. Is there some other way to do this that I'm missing?

There is -folder support, check help.

@chemzqm I did check help, a number of times, and I tried a couple different ways to pass a specific folder and none of them worked. I even looked at the source code implementation of -folder. My interpretation from doing all that is that -folder searches from the workspace root. That is different than what I am talking about here. I mean to pass a specific folder to grep so I could implement, for example, a shortcut to search in the folder of the file in the current buffer. Did I miss something that says coc-list grep supports this?

You should be able to pass path as last argument with rg, I've fixed it.

Wow, thanks for addressing so quickly! Will try it out later.

The solution can be found in the documentation
You can specify the folder like this:
:CocList grep word -- /folder/to/search/from
