Automatically asks to create GTAGS database #64

Closed tuhdo closed 10 years ago

tuhdo commented 10 years ago

ggtags has a convenient feature, that is, when a GTAGS database is not found and user invokes a ggtags command, it asks user whether to create or not. If user chooses to create, a database is generated; after the database is generated, the previous ggtags command is resumed with the new database.

I think it would be really convenient if helm-gtags can do such thing, so user won't have to jump to project root and manually invoke gtags shell command.

It sounds good.

I have implemented. Please check latest version.

Thanks for the new feature. It works great. A minor improvement: it should close the Helm buffer used for prompting project root and print a message in a minibuffer like: "gtags is generating tags...." to indicate that Emacs is waiting for gtags to finish and not being hanged.
