Crash with 'ls -a'

[patrickreece2]

thread 'main' panicked at /Users/p.reece/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/ratatui-0.25.0/src/buffer.rs:229:26: index out of bounds: the len is 3075 but the index is 3138 note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace

reproducible by starting 'vshell' then using 'ls -a' in my documents folder

i just pushed a fix for another panic. can you pull and try again?

it doesnt look like the same panic though. Can you show me output of ls -a in a different shell or create an example with a dummy folder that also leads to the program crashing?

[patrickreece2]

Here is a shell script that creates 100 empty files, which crash vshell (on my mac) when 'ls' is called

#!/bin/bash

# Specify the directory where you want to create the files
directory="."

# Create 100 empty files
for ((i=1; i<=100; i++)); do
    if ((i % 2 == 0)); then
        # Add a dot at the beginning for even-numbered files
        touch "$directory/.$i.txt"
    else
        touch "$directory/$i.txt"
    fi
done

echo "Files created successfully."```

thanks! btw you can use triple dash to show the script correctly in markdown. Ive edited your comment to do that.

i think I found a way to reproduce it

• Is your problem occuring with hints(the letters before each word like a:echo) toggled on or off?
• when you open vshell are hints already on or not?

[patrickreece2]

yes, on

[paul-schaaf]

when you open the shell and the hints are already on, you are in fact not using the latest version of the shell. The latest version has them turned off by default
