I'm getting the following error when I startup neovim:

 This extension doesn't exist or is not installed: fzf

Not sure what is happening here, if I'm correct the binary should be build automatically.

Hey @Conni2461,

You may remember me when we you helped me with a couple of PRs for telescope a while ago.

Anyway, I am primarily a Windows user and spend a bunch of my time helping fix Windows issues with the nvim ecosystem. I can see that this plugin here requires "extra" work for Windows users that probably is not needed if we just bundle the dll with. Unlike Linux, this dll will work on Windows unchanged as it's very simple. Probably doesn't need to be built on the user's machine.

How can I help? I can see a couple of challenges:

• How to keep the dll updated as you make changes. I can help here of course by providing a latest. But I can see that as being a problem for scaling. Having said that, it seems that you're not making frequent changes to the code really.
• How do you/anyone trust that the dll I am producing is safe? I can inject randomness in there. Not sure how to help with that.

Anyway, I am available to help if it's something you need. This plugin seems almost core to Telescope now from a perf point of view. Windows users will probably not use it since compiling it locally requires extra steps. In the meantime, I will see if there's something I can do to help make building it easier?

Thanks!

while i use grep with this plugin with this command :lua require("telescope.builtin").grep_string({previewer = false, only_sort_text = true, cmd = os.getenv("CD"), search = vim.fn.input("Grep For > ")})

i am testing in the moodle src code for a project with 27k files and i try to search with grep and type html and then in the result window type html and nvim core dumped

seqmentation fault (code dumed)

what do you need more ? ps. the src for moodle can be found in https://download.moodle.org/releases/latest

Hi. I have the following packer config:

 use {                                                        
   'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',                           
   requires = {                                               
     {'nvim-lua/popup.nvim'},                                 
     {'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'},                               
     {'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzy-native.nvim', run="make"},
     {'nvim-telescope/telescope-symbols.nvim'},               
   },                                                         
 }                                                            

After adding run="make" clause I get

✗ Failed to install nvim-telescope/telescope-fzy-native.nvim

message when trying to install.

However, the plugin is installed and I can do

require("telescope").load_extension("fzy_native")

perfectly fine. I still cannot check if it is really working though.

This change brings in several things

1. The CMakeLists.txt file has been reorganized and brought up to more "modern" CMake code (while still working with CMake 3.2 at a minimum)
2. A fix has been added for #77, to always set the suffix to .dll, regardless of toolchain
3. Warnings for _CRT_SECURE and _CRT_NONSTDC are now disabled.
4. This also adds the most minimal version of a cmake "preset" for CMake 3.19 and later. This adds generators for unix makefiles and ninja, allowing users to simply execute their post-install step as:

   $ cmake --preset <ninja|make>
   $ cmake --build build --target install
   

Sadly, this couldn't be simplified further unless a hard minimum of CMake 3.20 is set, as that would allow for an install build preset, allowing the steps to turn into cmake --preset <preset> && cmake --build --preset <preset>. I've not changed the readme as I'm probably the only one who will end up using the preset approach anyhow.

Closes #77

FZF uses string length as a tiebreaker by default when the score is tied between two results. Would it be possible to implement it in telescope-fzf-native too?

In FZF:

In telescope-fzf-native:

Here in junegunn/fzf the tiebreaker logic is implemented.

Close #24

@luisiacc Can you try if this works now? Out of the box. So checkout branch and make clean && make

@ryanreno Can you check if OpenBSD still works after that. I need to force CC=gcc for windows. windows doesn't have cc. I only set it if the OS is windows but i still wanted to ask, if you can test it. Thanks :)

Hey guys, i've been using fzf with telescope for a while but i recently bought a new MBP with Apple Silicon. When i try to follow the installation and setup instructions, it fails with the following error:

I am confused by the way the sorter works this is my custom picker:

when I use original fzf plugin for vim I see this:

but when I try to use my custom picker in same search I see that result:

and also this result is weird:

and I can't checkhealth, but I saw that you implement this in my .config/nvim/plugin/telescope-setup.lua I have that configuration

-- You dont need to set any of these options. These are the default ones. Only
-- the loading is important
require('telescope').setup {
  extensions = {
    fzf = {
      fuzzy = true,                    -- false will only do exact matching
      override_generic_sorter = true,  -- override the generic sorter
      override_file_sorter = true,     -- override the file sorter
      case_mode = "smart_case",        -- or "ignore_case" or "respect_case"
                                       -- the default case_mode is "smart_case"
    }
  }
}
-- To get fzf loaded and working with telescope, you need to call
-- load_extension, somewhere after setup function:
require('telescope').load_extension('fzf')

and this code in packer plugin:

use {'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build --config Release && cmake --install build --prefix build' }

NVIM v0.8.0 Build type: Release LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

After successful :PackerSync and restart, I still cannot run :Telescope fzf. I get the following error:

E5108: Error executing lua ...ck/packer/start/telescope.nvim/lua/telescope/command.lua:184: attempt to call a nil value 

This is the relevant part of my config (packer-based, obvs)

    use {
      "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
      requires = {
        "sharkdp/fd",
        "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
        {"nvim-telescope/telescope-packer.nvim", requires = "wbthomason/packer.nvim"},
        {"nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim", run = "make"}
      },
      config = function()
        local tscope = require("telescope")
        tscope.setup {}
        tscope.load_extension "packer"
        tscope.load_extension "fzf"
      end
    }

I am currently stuck with this issue!

fixes #69

• Re-organised workflows into reusable local composite actions
• Implemented the creation of releases:
  • pushes to main will create or overwrite an existing dev release
  • pushed tags will create their own release, push the tag again to update that release
  • all binaries are uploaded with filenames that reflect the OS and compiler used
• Adapted the downloader.lua into a requireable postinstall step.
  • uses curl to do the http lifting
  • uses sh to standardise creating an empty build folder for curl to put the download into

I tried several methods before landing on curl and sh :

• http.socket looked nice, except that lazy.nvim doesn't support luarocks like packer.nvim does, and vimplug... well yeah.
• the github cli, not everyone will have this installed, and even then using it requires the user to first run gh auth login. not everyone will have a github account.

Just for context I'm trying to set this up on windows

when I try require('telescope').load_extension('fzf') and try to source the file :so % I get an error

Error detected while processing :source (no file):

I have tried using both cmake and make to re-install telescope-fzf-native.nvim I even tried the make clean && make from this issue

following use {'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'make' } didn't work on m1.

modifying it to use {'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = ' arch -arm64 make' } worked.

just wanted to share, maybe adding a small note in documentation for people running into the same situation.

As file name appear at the end of its path, enabling end criterion would result in accurate matches. This feature would also be helpful in the case of :Telescope tags where in the symbols are present at the end of the line.

PS: I'm aware about this package of not keeping feature parity with original FZF. If you find this too much of a work or if this feature feels out of scope for this plugin, we can close this issue.
