feat: option ignore_paths to avoid running on certain paths #105
Conversation

This seems like a good idea 👍🏻 I'm sure nobody wants to run a huge search basically ever. Right now I think this might be addressed in a more flexible way by changing the default logic not to search if not in a project (see #103). I'd like to hear what you think about this solution. In the meantime, maybe you could try adding a global ignore for your home directory Although I think that will also disable |

Users may want to search on directories that are not projects though, such as config directories like /etc/something/. Regarding the rg config, I'd like to have a separate exclude configuration for blink-ripgrep, as they both serve completely different use cases (completion vs search). |

I agree, it would be great to be able to exclude from blink-ripgrep only and leave ripgrep unaffected on the command line. |
Issue ===== It's not possible to not search with blink-ripgrep.nvim while maintaining the ability to search with ripgrep (outside of Neovim). Although ripgrep supports many ways of ignoring paths, and blink-ripgrep is affected by those, they will always affect both ripgrep and blink-ripgrep at the same time. Users cannot maintain the ability to search with ripgrep in the terminal and use blink-ripgrep in Neovim at the same time. Solution ======== Add a new option `ignore_paths` to the configuration of blink-ripgrep. These can be set to absolute paths (resolved by `project_root_marker`). When a search is started, the plugin will check if the root path is ignored, and will not search if that's the case. BREAKING CHANGE: The `get_command` function, which provides a custom way to generate the entire ripgrep command, must now return a table with the command and the root path.
When I run Neovim in directories like my home directory or the root, I may not have permission for every directory, and I might not want to run
rgon such large directories.I've seen errors like the one below because of this:
