Custom Config not searching in node_modules

[benyaminl]

I use let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.git', 'cd %s && git ls-files . -co --exclude-standard', 'find %s -type f'] but I want still able to search on node_modules and vendor folder but seems it only follow the git ls-files but not find -type f, is it a problem or maybe I'm wrong? Thanks

even the fallback one { \ 'types': { \ 1: ['.git', 'cd %s && git ls-files'], \ 2: ['.hg', 'hg --cwd %s locate -I .'], \ }, \ 'fallback': 'find %s -type f' \ }

fallback is basically used when the root marker was NOT found. I'm assuming that your project is a Git repository, so the fallback is not used in this case. That's why files and directories that is configured in .gitignore are not listed by ctrlp. Although I haven't found the best way yet, like this configuration meet your needs?

let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.git', 'cd %s && (git ls-files . -co --exclude-standard; find -path ./node_modules/* -print -type f)', 'find %s -type f']

I think I get it. So when It's git then it's using git only file finder. For now I'll stick with only find %s -type f, but the problem is why the filter or ignore not working? Does it only work with globalpath only? Thanks

'filter' and 'ignore' for what? you mean ctrlp settings?

Yeah, I ignore .git folder but the folder still shown anyway

I'm guessing is that you are configuring like let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f'. In that case any filter / ignore mechanism which CtrlP provides don't work as documented.

There are some ways to achieve your needs:

• Using better grep alternatives like rg, ag, etc. instead of find to list files I use let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'rg %s -i --files --no-heading --max-depth 10'
• Adding filters to find command E.g. find %s -type f ! -path '*/.git/*'
• Using CtrlP built-in file listing command and ignore mechanism

  unlet g:ctrlp_user_command
  unlet g:ctrlp_custom_ignore
  let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = '\v[\/]\.(git|hg|svn)$'

  A caveat here is that CtrlP built-in approach should be slow.

I think it should be documented on the documentation page, or maybe I'm missing something there? Thanks. My guess it right. Thanks!

It is documented. https://github.com/ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim/blob/30dd01a21dadac38df59da3226a783f0d2490965/doc/ctrlp.txt#L278-L280
