.rgignore glob?

[kaushalmodi]

I am trying to figure out how to ignore a particular dir name (that dir name could occur multiple times in the search path) using .rgignore.

Let's say I have the .rgignore as /proj/SOMEPRJ/.rgignore, and I have these directories

• /proj/SOMEPRJ/abc/def/XYZ/
• /proj/SOMEPRJ/ghi//XYZ/

What do I put in /proj/SOMEPRJ/.rgignore to ignore both the XYZ/ dirs?

For ag, I can simply put XYZ in the .agignore and be done with it. But the same does not work here.

*XYZ also does not work.

For now I need to put in the full paths to XYZ/ (both) in the .rgignore.

What is the right way?

[kaushalmodi]

The benefit of allowing XYZ/ to ignore both of the above dirs is that I could be initiating my search from any of these directories and that ignore pattern will still work:

• /proj/SOMEPRJ/
• /proj/SOMEPRJ/abc/
• /proj/SOMEPRJ/abc/def/
• /proj/SOMEPRJ/ghi/

Hmm, I can't reproduce:

[andrew@Cheetah 50] tree
.
└── proj
    └── SOMEPRJ
        ├── abc
        │   └── def
        │       └── XYZ
        │           └── bar
        └── ghi
            └── XYZ
                └── bar

7 directories, 2 files
[andrew@Cheetah 50] rg foo
proj/SOMEPRJ/abc/def/XYZ/bar
1:foo

proj/SOMEPRJ/ghi/XYZ/bar
1:foo
[andrew@Cheetah 50] echo XYZ > .rgignore
[andrew@Cheetah 50] rg foo
No files were searched, which means ripgrep probably applied a filter you didn't expect. Try running again with --debug.

A few questions:

1. What directory are running rg in?
2. Could you run rg with --debug set and post the output here?

Thanks!

Sorry, actually the ignore pattern was something like XXX/YYY/.

OK, I think this is a dupe of #25. I'll be sure to include your case in a regression test when I fix it.

[BurntSushi]

Actually, this is a dupe of #16. Fix incoming.

[kaushalmodi]

I confirm the fix. Thanks!
