Subject: bug#66649: 29.1; `project-remember-projects-under' behavior doesn't match its doc
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 13:48:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v8b18qh7.fsf@cassou.me> (raw)
Hi,
the documentation of `project-remember-projects-under' is:
"Index all projects below a directory DIR. If RECURSIVE is
non-nil, recurse into all subdirectories to find more projects.
After finishing, a message is printed summarizing the progress. The
function returns the number of detected projects."
Regardless of the value of RECURSIVE, I understand from the above that
all child directories of the DIR argument will be investigated. The doc
doesn't say anything about investigating if DIR is itself a project or
not so I think it would make sense if the function wasn't.
But the code says otherwise (as far as I understand it):
(defun project-remember-projects-under (dir &optional recursive)
(let ((queue (list dir)))
;; …
(while queue
(when-let ((subdir (pop queue))
((file-directory-p subdir)))
;; maybe register `subdir' as a project
;; …
(when (and recursive (file-directory-p subdir))
(setq queue (nconc (directory-files subdir …) queue)))))))
The code above seems to investigate DIR first and, if RECURSIVE is
non-nil, look at the directories below it.
Also, the second check (file-directory-p subdir) seems unnecessary
because of the first one.
There is a part of the code I don't understand:
(unless (eq recursive 'in-progress)
It seems nowhere in the code nor in the documentation do we say anything
about this 'in-progress special value. Is it a left over from a previous
(recursive) version of the algorithm?
Best
