Vim bettergrep not searching anything about vim-bettergrep HOT 18 CLOSED

It would be helpful if you include your set up and the error you are facing.

1. What is your operating system, vim version?
2. Which grep program are you trying to use?
3. What are your relevant vimrc or init.vim lines?

Hi @qalshidi ,
Thank you for the revert. I am trying to use ripgrep for this. This is my vim config(https://github.com/sansyrox/macsimus/) .

from vim-bettergrep.

Now, that I try with git grep it is working. What should put in here let g:bettergrepprg = "<some_grepper>" for ripgrep to work?

from vim-bettergrep.

Usually it will auto-configure ripgrep by itself, but if you want to explicitly do it then:

let g:bettergrepprg = "rg --vimgrep"

should suffice

Hey @qalshidi ,

I tried adding this, but this doesn't work. Is there a possibility to get debug logs?

from vim-bettergrep.

Can you please let me know the error message? "this doesn't work" is not very helpful. If there is no error message can you be clear on the behavior. Does it simply find nothing?

from vim-bettergrep.

@qalshidi , that is the issue. It doesn't give out an error message. It doesn't return any search results.

When I use Rg in FZF, it then gives out a correct result.

from vim-bettergrep.

Keep in mind it works on my setup but not yours. So can you make a reproducible set up so that I may test why it's not working? Also what OS and vim version are you using?

from vim-bettergrep.

@qalshidi , I using macOS 11.4 20F71 x86_64 and NVIM v0.6.0-dev+1490-g3de777d25 Build type: Release

from vim-bettergrep.

@qalshidi , you can install it using this command

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sansyrox/macsimus/main/utils/install.sh)

This is my neovim config: https://github.com/sansyrox/macsimus/

from vim-bettergrep.

I think I know your issue. You may be searching in a folder with a very large amount of text. If git grep works better then rg is probably ignoring the vcs and taking a while to return with results since it runs asynchronously. Try:

1. Creating a new folder.
2. `echo 'this is a test' > file.txt
3. nvim
4. :Grep test

And that should work as expected with ripgrep.

Can you tell me where exactly have you tested this with? Have you tried it in a simple folder like I showed?

from vim-bettergrep.

Hi @qalshidi , sorry for the late revert.

I tried this. Even with a single file with a single line, ripgrep doesn't work.

from vim-bettergrep.

When you do the single file with a single line what does :pwd output in Neovim?

from vim-bettergrep.

@qalshidi , :pwd shows the name of that directory only. But something strange has happened now. Even "Grep" has stopped working.

from vim-bettergrep.

However, GrepperRg works.

from vim-bettergrep.

I have checked the code for :GrepperRg and made some fixes that may work. Please update your vim-bettergrep and try again.

from vim-bettergrep.

@qalshidi , it is still not working for me. I'll try to run it on a fresh neovim install and see if it works.
