My .fdignore and .config/fd/ignore seem to be not working

[khlsvr]

I installed fd with pacman on arch linux. I did add the following in .bash_profile but I guess they are irrelevant anyway. When I search with plain fd I get results from directories included in the ~/.fdignore

export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='fd --color=always --type f --hidden --follow --exclude .git'
export FZF_CTRL_T_COMMAND="$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND"
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ansi"
export FZF_ALT_C_COMMAND="fd -t d ."

[x@x ~]$  fd --version
fd 8.2.1
[x@x ~]$  pwd
/home/x
[x@x ~]$  cat .fdignore 
/home/x/.opam
/home/x/files/karjalainen/

[x@x ~]$  cat .config/fd/ignore 
/home/x/.opam
/home/x/.npm
/home/x/files/karjalainen
[x@x ~]$  fd karjala | head -4
raja-karjalan_korpus
files/karjalainen
files/karjalainen/1929-03-19_Karjalainen_-_19-03-1929_print.pdf
files/karjalainen/1947-02-11_Karjalainen_-_11-02-1947_print.pdf

Thank you for reporting this. I can confirm this. The problem is with the absolute paths.

For your local .fdignore file, you should be able to fix this by making the paths relative:

.opam
files/karjalainen/

this is because .fdignore works similar to .gitignore where the current directory is the "root".

As for the global .config/fd/ignore file... absolute paths should be supported here. Experimenting with this, I found a behavior that should definitely be considered a bug: If you use the -a/--absolute-path option of fd, the folders are actually ignored(!). This option is supposed to only modify the appearance of the search results.

excluded pattern didn't work too.

~/.cache/yay should be found, but other directory inside ~/.cache still ignored. Since !.cache/yay/ on the ignore file, and ! means that pattern should be excluded from ignore.
