Ctrl-p can't find my file?

Question

The following is my ctr-p config:

let g:ctrlp_map = '<Leader>t'
let g:ctrlp_match_window_bottom = 0
let g:ctrlp_match_window_reversed = 0
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 'ra' 
let g:ctrlp_root_markers = ['.ctrlp']
let g:ctrlp_dotfiles = 0                                                                                                                                           
let g:ctrlp_switch_buffer = 0

I put one file .ctrlp in my project root directory.

I typed ,t and ,d to find my full filename "PhotoArtHacker" which's full path is 12083_cmcc_svn4456/mediatek/platform/mt6589/hardware/camera/hal/adapter/oppo/PhotoArtHacker.cpp.

while, I don't know why the file didn't appeared in the search result? Is my file depth too deep?

By the way, the android project contains thousands of files.

CtrlP's issue tracker is that way. – Septempartite

Did you updated the CtrlP cache with hitting F5? – Infundibuliform

Answer 1

I found a solution on the project's GitHub issues.

It looks that if you set the property:

let g:ctrlp_max_files=0

The problem will be solved.

Answer 2

I had the same problem: ctrlp+F5 wasn't finding all my source files, because it was searching through too many files in too many subdirectories. I found the following command in the ctrlp help:

let g:ctrlp_user_command =  
  \ ['.git', 'cd %s && git ls-files -co --exclude-standard'] 

This solved the problem without reading a vast number of files (so no slowdown and no need to set g:ctrlp_max_files to 0).

The ctrlp help provides other commands for searching other types of repositories.

Same context here, your solution works like a charm and is way faster than other ones I saw. Thanks ! – Assumed
