helm-projectile-find-file does'nt create files. #42

Closed fahrradflucht closed 6 years ago

fahrradflucht commented 8 years ago

When using projectile-find-file I can create a file by entering a path relative to the project root and hitting .

With helm-projectile-find-file it just happens nothing.

Can you please clarify how you get projectile-find-file to create a file for you? I can't get it to work with projectile-20170106.606.

Sorry I can't help you. I don't use emacs anymore. At the time I wrote this, it worked like I described.

This is due to Helm handling non-matching input differently from ido, which is what projectile-completion-system defaults to. The same problem occurs without helm-projectile when projectile-completion-system is set to 'helm.

When the user hits RET with non-matching input, Helm exits without executing any actions, because there is no selected candidate on which an action can be executed.

helm-find-files does create a new file buffer when non-matching input is given, as does helm-buffers-list with buffers, albeit in different ways. I've posted a question on the Helm Google Group r.e. the best way to implement this.
