Discrepancy between rg in shell and fzf-lua

[savchenko]

Say my $PWD is /foo and I do rg "Bar" foo/.

rg finds the file and prints:

foo/long/path/to/the/file.dat
<p>Bar was here</p>

In my config I have:

grep = {
    header = false,
    RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH = vim.env.RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH,
    fzf_opts = {
        ["--with-nth"] = "{1} {4}",
        ["--delimiter"] = ":",
    },
    actions = {
        ["alt-i"] = { actions.toggle_ignore },
        ["ctrl-g"] = { actions.grep_lgrep },
    },
}

vim.keymap.set(
    'n',
    '<C-g>',
    function() fzf.live_grep_native() end,
    { silent = true, noremap = true, desc = 'Grep' }
)

When I do Ctrl-g in nVim rg behaves differently. It does search files, but some paths are omitted for unclear reasons, the foo/long/path/to/the/file.dat is not returned. And yes, this is an actual test I have done.

My .ripgreprc:

--no-line-number
--max-columns=4096
--hidden
--glob=!.git/*
--smart-case

Any clues as to what's going on?

When using live_grep_narive the rg command is piped directly into fzf, fzf-lua does zero processing, no filters, no formatters, no file_ignore_patterns, the only thing that could be different is maybe your rg_opts?

Maybe something related to hidden|follow|noignore? Try to set all of these to true as they may modify your rg_opts.
