I have been using projectile-ripgrep for a few months and I'm pretty happy with it. A few days ago I was testing some of is options and the default search for ripgrep (what I see in the minibuffer) changed from:

[my-project] Ripgrep search for (default my_function):

to:

[my-project] Ripgrep search for: my_function

I find it a bit annoying since I like how it used to suggest the search (same as when you do a query-replace), meaning that if I did not enter any character, it would search the suggested term. Now that term is already part of the input, so if I want to search for something else I have to delete it first.

I am not sure how I changed this and I am not able to set it back to how it was. Any ideas?

I've figured out why this is happening to your environment after reading your comments below.

There are two projectile-ripgrep (package projectile & package projectile-ripgrep). Whichever is loaded second in order is being used, hence the different behavior on your machine.

Original answer:

(I don't have enough reputation to add a comment.)

Which version of projectile are you using? Are we looking at the same code here?

If so, could you try playing around with the following expression and see what happens? (Both in your current settings and emacs -Q)

 (read-string (format "%s%s: " "prefix " "(default label)") nil nil "default retval")

  • According to my `package-list-packages`: `projectile: 20200710.947` and `projectile-ripgrep 20180914.1500`. So I think it is updated and we should be looking at the same code. If I `eval-region` that expression, I get: `prefix (default label):` which seems the expected result. – makeMonday Nov 05 '20 at 09:40
  • Ok, just in case, I updated all my packages (including `projectile` up to `20201030.1132`) and it went back to the previous way I'm still not sure why it changed before. – makeMonday Nov 05 '20 at 10:00
  • I restarted emacs to check if it would stay the same and no, it is sticking with the search without default. So it looks like it might be something in my `.emacs`, but I am not sure what. – makeMonday Nov 05 '20 at 10:09
  • Perhaps you could try stepping through the code using Edebug and see what happens. – TerryTsao Nov 05 '20 at 15:29
  • @makeMonday I think I've figured out what's going on here. I'll rewrite the answer. – TerryTsao Nov 06 '20 at 02:00
  • Yay! You're right, I actually removed `projectile-ripgrep` from my packages and `.emacs`, reloaded everything and it is working as expected :) Thanks! – makeMonday Nov 06 '20 at 08:42
