1. Make sure you have a Git repository with binary files containing say
the "copyright" word; One can clone
https://github.com/orontee/lesmotsdugene/ for example.
2. Start Emacs using a locale different from "C" or other English based
locales, for example "fr_FR.UTF8":
LANG=fr_FR.UTF8 emacs -Q
3. Then call `project-find-regexp' in the the Git repository identified
in step 1, and search for the word "copyright"; There's no results but
the following error message:
xref-matches-in-files: Search failed with status 0: grep: content/images/planche_1.png : fichiers binaires correspondent
If Emacs is started with "C" locale, then there are results!
The problem comes from `xref-matches-in-files', precisely this block
where `grep' output has been hardcoded even if depending on the locale:
(when (and (/= (point-min) (point-max))
(not (looking-at grep-re))
;; TODO: Show these matches as well somehow?
;; Matching both Grep's and Ripgrep 13's messages.
(not (looking-at ".*[bB]inary file.* matches")))
(user-error "Search failed with status %d: %s" status
(buffer-substring (point-min) (line-end-position))))
As quick fix one cas use:
(map-do (lambda (key val)
(map-put xref-search-program-alist
key (concat "LANG=C " val)))
xref-search-program-alist)
