Bug: Incorrect search results from `z` and `z -l`
zachriggle opened this issue · 2 comments
Today, z
took me to the wrong directory! It was a valid directory, but not the one that likely should have been selected. I wanted the one with the score 219, I got one with a score of 4.
Removing the score-4 entry from the list reverted to correct behavior. Not sure how I can help out to debug this (since I can't provide my ~/.z
file (it's on a work computer) but thought it was still worth reporting.
It might be useful to have a -v
option to z
that explains why a particular directory was selected, to help diagnose this. I think in this case, it was due to the "recent access" being used, rather than "rank". I'll update my shell to alias z=z -r
to avoid this in the future.
What makes me think this is an ACTUAL bug, is that the first z -l
does not show all of the other matches, they only show up after removing that specific directory.
$ z omni
$ pwd
/Applications/OmniFocus 3.4.1.app
$ z -l omni
4 /Applications/OmniFocus 3.4.1.app
$ z -x .
$ z -l omni
1.10 /Users/zachriggle/omni2/omni
1.58 /Users/zachriggle/omni/completions
2.79 /Users/zachriggle/omni2
5.86 /Users/zachriggle/Library/Containers/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus3

First, you might want to download the latest version of ZSH-z so that we can be sure that we're comparing apples to apples. I can see from the way that your ranks are displayed that you're using an older version.
Were you using a special z
alias before?
Are you using any of the special Settings?
I was working on a branch based on e138de5
with minor changes (1 additional "if" statement to prefer case-insensitive matches over case-sensitive matches). So not particularly recent, I'll re-file a bug if it happens again.
It looks like that has been implemented with ZSHZ_CASE=smart
so I don't need that old branch anymore.
