No dependencies? Really? "gutentags: ctags job failed, returned: 1"

Describe the bug
When I load up nvim I get this error message:
"gutentags: ctags job failed, returned: 1"

Steps to reproduce

  1. Load the plugin
  2. Load an editor session
  3. See error message

Share your setup

  • OS: Mac 12.1
  • What version of ctags, gtags, or whatever do you have installed?
  • ctags --version "Universal Ctags 5.9.0"
  • gtags --version "6.6.8"
  • Are you using g:gutentags_cache_dir? no
  • Running ( https://github.com/crivotz/nv-ide ) as setup.

Post the logs

  • Run :let g:gutentags_trace = 1.
  • Reproduce the bug.
  • Run :messages and show the messages that Gutentags posted.
  • Look for the tags.log file that Gutentags' script left behind, and post its contents.
    • I could not find the tags.log file in ~/.cache/nvim directory

Additional context

Both ctags and gtags are in my path.

Also strange that there is nothing in the logs to help debug why gutentags fails to run ctags. Running ctags or gtags on the command line works well.

Fixed it via specifying the .ctags customization file.
