Issue when using the rg2vim function

[partounian]

I get this issue whenever I use your rg2vim function
E575: Error while reading ShaDa file: mark entry at position 5802 has invalid line number
I use neovim, not sure if that changes anything.

By the way thank you so much for this function, I was originally going to over-engineer some kind of weird parsing tool https://github.com/partounian/srg

I don't know about neovim.

rg2vim() {
	vim -c "$(
	FL=0
	while IFS=: read -r fn ln line; do
		if [ "$FL" -eq "0" ]; then
			printf "e %q|" "$fn"
			FL=1
		else
			printf "tabnew %q|" "$fn"
		fi
		printf ":%d|" "$ln"
	done < <(rg -n "$1" | peco --select-1)
	)"
}

So what this does is pass the first argument given to rg2vim to rg -n, which gives us matches including line numbers; those are passed on to peco which will flip up the GUI to narrow down matches; peco writes those matches to stdout which is then processed by the while-loop, one line at a time; for the first line (FL == 0), a e-command is constructed from the filename, all further lines use the tabnew-command; a :-command is appended with the line number. The whole output is then used to construct the argument to vim -c, which causes vim to execute the file-/tab-open commands after startup.

Given this slightly weird error, I could imagine that neovim does not like commands like this. Maybe you can dry-fire a command like nvim -c "e foo/src.c|:123|tabnew foo/src1.c|:321" and see if that works.

Thank you for the explanation!

I noticed it only happens after the first time running the command, but that command does work.

➜  .dotfiles git:(master) ✗ nvim -c "e zsh/zshenv.symlink|:123"
Alias tip: vim -c "e zsh/zshenv.symlink|:123"
➜  .dotfiles git:(master) ✗ vim -c "e zsh/zshenv.symlink|:123"
E575: Error while reading ShaDa file: mark entry at position 6053 has invalid line number
Press ENTER or type command to continue
➜  .dotfiles git:(master) ✗ nvim -c "e zsh/zshenv.symlink|:123"
Alias tip: vim -c "e zsh/zshenv.symlink|:123"
E575: Error while reading ShaDa file: mark entry at position 6074 has invalid line number
Press ENTER or type command to continue
➜  .dotfiles git:(master) ✗ nvim -c "e zsh/zshenv.symlink|:123"

I'll spend some time looking into this, also for curiosity, do you use still use this function or do you use another method of getting to files?

I still use it from time to time. This is most likely not the right way to do it, though.

Regarding your shada-problem: This is a neovim-specific mechanism that replaced viminfo. You might need to disable shada-parsing when passing -c. Maybe there is some docs.
