Indexing excludedPatterns in Neovim

[gacha]

Hi,
How I understand from the documentation then the content of init_options is passed to the ruby-lsp and I can use any of the initialization options. But when I try to set the indexing.excludedPatterns, I don't see that this configuration has been picked up.

      lspconfig.ruby_lsp.setup {
        capabilities = capabilities,
        init_options = {
          formatter = 'standard',
          linters = { 'standard' },
          indexing = {
            excludedPatterns = { '**/tmp/**.rb'  }
          },
        },
      ...

What am I missing? How can I debug this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Is that exactly the glob pattern you are using? If it is, there's a small mistake in it. Using **.rb is probably not going to match Ruby files, but directories that end with .rb. You need the pattern to be

**/tmp/**/*.rb

@gacha I'm curious, what kind of .rb files do you have in tmp? I'm wondering if we should be excluding this by default.

We are excluding it

ruby-lsp/lib/ruby_indexer/lib/ruby_indexer/configuration.rb

Line 31 in 4fd4be9

@excluded_patterns = T.let([File.join("**", "*_test.rb"), File.join("tmp", "**", "*")], T::Array[String])

.

Hi, 🤦 sorry. I don't know how I miss that. Now, when I fix the pattern to '**/tmp/**/*.rb,' it finally works. Without this, the index finds files in some nested build directory like tmp/build/some_dir/more_dir/some_file.rb.

Thanks for your help.

I thought I did not come up with that pattern. I found it here https://github.com/Shopify/ruby-lsp/blob/main/vscode/README.md#indexing-configuration and presumed that was the correct syntax.

That was a typo #2708. I'm glad it's working!

Without this, the index finds files in some nested build directory like tmp/build/some_dir/more_dir/some_file.rb.

Hmm, that's strange. I tried to reproduce by adding a file nested within a directory under tmp/, but it wasn't indexed. (in VS Code, didn't try NeoVim).
