list of files inaccurate

[jerdmann]

I'm seeing a weird behavior when running lsp. When I run lsp in pretty much any directory, the number of files is accurate but I'm seeing lots of repeated filenames. For example, in a given directory with 100 files, I see 100 files in the list but only one or two filenames, almost like a couple of the names "smear" over everything else.

Below is how to reproduce this problem. I'm running ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 and I built lsp using go version xgcc (Ubuntu 4.9.1-0ubuntu1) 4.9.1 linux/amd64. I ran a simple 'go get ' like the README specifies.

Thanks for the awesome tool. Hopefully we can fix this. I'll take a look too but I have zero go programming experience. =)

To reproduce the problem:

1. In some directory, create some files: for i in {1..20}; do touch file$i; done
2. Run lsp and get this:

Good catch, thank you for letting me know. i will look into this

Hm, that is weird. I was not able to reproduce this issue on MacOS and Ubuntu, not sure what is up :0

[jerdmann]

Cool, hopefully it's just my machine. I'll let you know if I can reproduce the problem anywhere else. Thanks for looking. =D

I get the same problem on my laptop, Ubuntu Trusty, using go1.4, gvm v1.0.22

Hmmm I just solved it (less than 1 minute, :open_mouth:) It seems that the bug occurs when you use lsp with a different go version than the one you installed lsp with. Is it possible ? I first installed it using go provided by sudo apt-get install gccgo-go, then I switched on go1.4 using gvm use go1.4, and lsp was not working. After that I just re-ran go get github.com/dborzov/lsp with go1.4 and now it works.
