File search always shows up empty

[FraserEmbrey]

I have installed fzf, fd and bash. I also have ripgrep installed and I had the jethrokuan plugin but uninstalled with fisher rm before installing this one.

The commands all work except for the search files which always shows up as 0/0. The interface loads but it doesn't have any files to show.

I am using pop!_OS 20.04 and alacritty as my terminal emulator

Realised fd needs to be aliased to fdfind. Might be worth noting that it only works with fdfind as linked, or making uses it uses the correct fd

Hi Fraser! I'm confused. I don't have fd aliased to fdfind. How did you realize you needed to alias it to fdfind?

Hi Fraser! I'm confused. I don't have fd aliased to fdfind. How did you realize you needed to alias it to fdfind?

I went to the fd github page linked to in your README and read the installation instructions more carefully. The Ubuntu section has a paragraph below the apt command saying:

Note that the binary is called fdfind as the binary name fd is already used by another package. It is recommended that you add an alias fd=fdfind to your shells initialization file, in order to use fd in the same way as in this documentation.

Thanks! I may create an FAQ and add it there.

If anyone else stumbles upon this: in my case the fd binary was old and was not supporting the --strip-cwd-prefix argument. I debugged it by echo-ing the command used in /.config/fish/functions/_fzf_search_directory.fish

Fix ended up being cargo install fd-find

Had the same problem on Fedora. RPM has fd v8.2.1.
