Unknown option: s (ack-grep 1.92)

[LArVs]

Any search with error:

|| Unknown option: s || ack: See ack-grep --help, ack-grep --help-types or ack-grep --man for options.

The -s option was implemented in ack 2.0 and aims at suppressing messages about unreadables or non existing files. As you are using ack-grep 1.92, it's not implemented and hence you have an error message.

A quick fix would be to edit plugin/ack.vim and change line 12 from :

let s:ack_default_options = " -s -H --nocolor --nogroup --column"

to

let s:ack_default_options = " -H --nocolor --nogroup --column"

But that's just a temp solution and the best way would maybe be to test which version of ack the user is running and emulate -s option if ack version is < 2.0 ?

I can fix in the master version, but version 1.0 will support only ack >= 2.0

[LArVs]

Better, change: let s:ack_default_options to let g:ack_default_options for override in .vimrc ;)

[LArVs]

what's do you think?

@larvjob, I liked it, I'll change it for feature and implement on v1.0. :smile:

Fixed on master, and add g:ack_default_options on v1.0
