Problem / Steps to reproduce

I have specified let $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND = 'ag -g ""' in vim and in .zshrc i have export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='ag --hidden --ignore dist node_modules .git -g ""' but still getting an output with files from dist folder the dist folder is in .gitignore

# build
**/dist
**/build
**/dist-zip

Mac M2 macvim

fzf --version
0.57.0 (0476a65)

at the end if it will be ignored , how can i make it include if i need ?

the only way (from here https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim/issues/210#issuecomment-290890545) i have made it work is to add .ignore file in my project with

dist

but how to make it work for all projects this solution does not work https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim/issues/453#issuecomment-738321660

Here is parts for fzf in my config

```Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'dir': '~/.fzf', 'do': './install --all' } Plug 'junegunn/fzf.vim'

export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='ag --hidden --ignore dist node_modules .git -g ""'

If I'm not mistaken, --ignore only takes a single argument, so the command is invalid.

cd /tmp
mkdir foo
cd foo

ag --hidden --ignore dist node_modules .git -g ""

gives errors

ERR: Error stat()ing: node_modules
ERR: Error opening directory node_modules: No such file or directory
ERR: Error stat()ing: .git
ERR: Error opening directory .git: No such file or directory

Anyway, having let $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND = 'ag --ignore dist -g ""' alone in .vimrc makes :FZF "gitignore" files as expected.

To make sure that :FZF is picking up the variable, I even tried changing it to

let $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND = 'seq 100; ag --ignore dist -g ""; seq 100'

and yes, :FZF does use it and shows numbers around the list.

@junegunn does not work for me =*((

[junegunn]

I can't reproduce the problem. fzf simply reads the output of the command. You should make sure that the command itself is working as expected. i.e.eval "$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND".

[rihannarickeminem]

@junegunn this command eval "$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND" gives this output:

You should check if the command in the variable works as expected on your shell. Not on vim.

[rihannarickeminem]

@junegunn i have export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='ag --hidden --ignore dist -g ""' . - in my .zshrc and eval "$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND" - in terminal - gives me no output (((

You can remove them with piping to sed as last resort
