--files ignores first path argument

[nickstenning]

I'm not sure whether this is a misunderstanding, a documentation bug, or an actual bug, but the --files option appears to ignore the first path argument given to it:

Steps to reproduce

Here's a shell session that shows the problem:

$ uname -mrsv
Darwin 15.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.6.0: Mon Aug 29 20:21:34 PDT 2016; root:xnu-3248.60.11~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
$ rg --version
0.1.17
$ mkdir a b c
$ touch {a,b,c}/{x,y,z}
$ tree
.
├── a
│   ├── x
│   ├── y
│   └── z
├── b
│   ├── x
│   ├── y
│   └── z
└── c
    ├── x
    ├── y
    └── z

3 directories, 9 files
$ rg --files
./a/x
./a/y
./a/z
./b/x
./b/y
./b/z
./c/x
./c/y
./c/z
$ rg --files a
./a/x
./a/y
./a/z
./b/x
./b/y
./b/z
./c/x
./c/y
./c/z
$ rg --files a b
b/x
b/y
b/z
$ rg --files a b c
b/x
b/y
b/z
c/x
c/y
c/z

Is this because the first argument is the (ignored) pattern? If so, I think the docs need updating, as the man page says:

   rg [options] --files [<path> ...]

Also very confused by this. Does rg only search the current working directory?

The title is likely accurate.

Thanks for reporting and fixing this, respectively!

Just stumbled upon this, trying to use ripgrep with the CtrlP plugin for Vim.

I can confirm that the patch works for me. Thanks again!

In case somebody else is interested, this is now in my ~/.vimrc:

if executable('rg')
  let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'rg --files %s'
  let g:ctrlp_use_caching = 0
endif
