Spacemacs scans whole home directory for layers when it is current pwd

greboide commented 5 years ago

Description :octocat:

Reproduction guide :beetle:

Start Emacs

Observed behaviour: :eyes: :broken_heart: if there is a directory that spacemacs doesnt have permission to scan on my home directory spacemacs brakes...

Expected behaviour: :heart: :smile: it shouldnt scan it in the first place

Backtrace :paw_prints:

I found the culprit to be dotspacemacs-configuration-layer-path being set as "" and that was triggering the search path on current pwd on the function configuration-layer/discover-layers

This is not the default value and the documentation for this variable is:

   ;; List of additional paths where to look for configuration layers.
   ;; Paths must have a trailing slash (i.e. `~/.mycontribs/')
   dotspacemacs-configuration-layer-path '()
