Do you set permission correctly ? Please check gtags at the directory in terminal emulator.

ghost commented 9 years ago

@syohex, I can run gtags in terminal emulator, I use brew to install global, this is my permission:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 zwb admin 30B 7 13 18:40 gtags -> ../Cellar/global/6.5/bin/gtags

Thanks

Do you set permission correctly ?

Sorry, this means the directory permission where you failed M-x helm-gtags-create-tags. And please try to execute gtags the directory where you failed M-x helm-gtags-create-tags in terminal.

@syohex I ran gtags in my project's directory, it works OK, creates three files with data.

syohex commented 9 years ago

Hmm, I cannot reproduce. Can you reproduce this issue in other directory ?

ghost commented 9 years ago

@syohex , I can reproduce this issue in other directory.

ghost commented 9 years ago

@syohex It can create three files, but the files are empty.

syohex commented 9 years ago

Can I download your project(or project where you happen this issue) from somewhere ?

@syohex, I have a question, what's the difference between "default", "native", "ctags", "pyments"? I use default, it works OK, I chose ctags, it gave me this error.

They are parsers. GNU global supports some parsers. GNU global parsers supports a few languages(C, C++, Java, old PHP), while ctags and pygments supports much languages(C, C++, Ruby, Python, Golang etc) than GNU global ones. However you need to configure GNU global with those options and install them.

I suppose you can install gnu global with those features by following command.

% brew uninstall global
% brew install global --with-exuberant-ctags --with-pygments

@syohex Thank you very much! I reinstall global with these params, It now works OK!
