native indexing doesn't consider ignored directories and files

[steinarb]

I'm indexing a maven project on windows which that used native indexing and ended up indexing a lot of uninteresting files in the target directories.

I tried adding "*target" and "*node_modules" to the projectile-globally-ignored-directories variable, but that had no effect.

And when I look at the code for the native indexing it looks like projectile-dir-files-native doesn't pass that variable to projectile-index-directory, which can take it as an argument https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile/blob/master/projectile.el#L1249

This is a bug, so I don't think it should be closed

Adding "*target" and "*node_modules" to the projectile-globally-ignored-directories variable still has no effect: the .js files in npm packages in node_modules are scanned and show up as files that may be loaded in "C-c p f".

Platform: GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2023-07-31 running on Windows 11 Enterprise, projectile 2.8.0 (from melpa stable)

The code has changed and the above URL no longer points at the correct place.

I think the current correct place, is: https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile/blob/e45f0b0cc43fdc066e7971ff3ed3bf4c78015ed0/projectile.el#L1407

The projectile-index-directory function now only has the single argument "dir" (so the July 8 2021 explanation is no longer the correct one. But the issue remains...)

Looking at how/where the projectile-globally-ignored-directories variable is used in the current projectile.el:

1. The projectile-globally-ignored-directories variable is used in the function projectile-globally-ignored-directory-names
2. The function projectile-globally-ignored-directory-names is used in the function projectile-index-directory
3. The function projectile-globally-ignored-directory-names is used in the function projectile-ignored-directory-p
4. When evaluated the result from the function projectile-globally-ignored-directory-names seems truncated? (the evaluation result ends with "...", and in any case it does not contain "*node_modules", at least not in the displayed result):

   (".idea" ".ensime_cache" ".eunit" ".git" ".hg" ".fslckout" "_FOSSIL_" ".bzr" "_darcs" ".tox" ".svn" ".stack-work" ...)
