the picker shows error message too often

[daniele821]

Hey, i was wondering if it was possible to disable snack.picker error messages that comes when commands run in the background fail. for example, if i open nvim in / and the Snacks.picker.files() it always shows an error (because rg returns an error code, since in / there are places it cannot descend into)

or when i open neovim in an empty directory, and i also get show an error message

i have temporally and partially fixed the problem by enabling the notifier (at least the errors are not blocking), but i still would like a config option to disable all those error messages. Looking in the docs i found nothing, does anyone has some suggestion?

opts = {
  notifier = {
    filter = function(notif)
      vim.print { notif.id, notif.msg, notif.level }
      return true
    end,

thanks, this almost solves the problem

        notifier = { 
            filter = function(n) 
                return n.title ~= "Snacks" and string.sub(n.msg, 1, 15) == "Command failed:"
            end 
        },

it works, it just requires me to have notifier enabled. I wish it was possible to have an option to disable picker errors, without needing to use the snacks notifier

That said, this is already good enought for me. thanks

You can override vim.notify:

-- NOTE: We need the event to override `vim.notify` even if `notifier` is enabled
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('User', {
  pattern = 'VeryLazy',
  callback = function()
    local notiy = vim.notify
    vim.notify = function(msg, lvl, opts) ---@diagnostic disable-line: duplicate-set-field
      if opts and vim.list_contains({ 'snacks_picker_layout_change' }, opts.id) then
      else
        notiy(msg, lvl, opts)
      end
    end
  end,
})
