g:Lf_WildIgnore doesn't seem to work anymore

[MightyCreak]

I used g:Lf_WildIgnore in my .vimrc to filter out some unwanted binary files. But until recently, it doesn't seem to filter anything anymore, the default filters works (e.g. '*.o'), but not my filters (e.g. '*.a').

I tested with that and I still see the *.a files:

            \ 'dir': ['.svn','.git','.hg'],
            \ 'file': ['*.sw?','~$*','*.bak','*.exe','*.o','*.a','*.so','*.py[co]']
            \}```

By default LeaderF use git or hg if your repository is under control of them, then g:Lf_WildIgnore will be ignored, because there is already a .gitignore or .hgignore.
let g:Lf_UseVersionControlTool = 0, LeaderF will use rg or pt or ag or find to index the files, g:Lf_WildIgnore will work as expected.

Hey, sorry for the delay.

Indeed, .hgignore works, but considering the size of the project I'm working on (several millions lines of code across multiple platforms), there are part of the project that isn't relevant to me, but it is to others and that's why it is not in the project's .hgignore.

It would be nice to have both: follow the .hgignore but also be able to set your own rules in the LeaderF configuration.

Would be nice to reopen the issue, considering this request.

Thanks!

[Yggdroot]

Fixed, but only available for hg, not for git.

[MightyCreak]

That's weird, it's not deterministic... But thanks mate ;)

I've let g:Lf_UseVersionControlTool = 0 set but its still ignoring files form .gitignore. How can I ignore the .gitignore?

Is this option (g:Lf_WildIgnore) working for regex mode?
Here is my setting:

let g:Lf_UseVersionControlTool=0
let g:Lf_WildIgnore = {
        \ 'dir': ['.svn','.git','.hg'],
        \ 'file': ['*.vcxproj','*.vcproj','*.lib','*.bak','*.exe','*.o','*.so','*.py[co]','*.obj']
        \}

But :Leaderf rg -F -w -e xyz still search the file I want to ignore.

[Yggdroot]

yes

[retzzz]

yes

@Yggdroot Do you mean it should be working for regex mode? But why I cannot ignore the files? Is my setting correct? What else should I do to make it work?

[Yggdroot]

these options only work for Leaderf file, if you want to ignore files when using Leaderf rg, Leaderf rg -g! xxx

[retzzz]

@Yggdroot Thank you. This command leaderf rg -g!xxx is working.

@Yggdroot
Suggest to let options g:Lf_UseVersionControlTool and g:Lf_WildIgnore work for Leaderf rg as well. So all functions of Leaderf will be consistent.

Please install rg first.
