Exception when running Ack in Project

Reported by jduff | 2009-11-16 17:17:40 UTC

The plugin has been working fine on my machine until just now, I keep getting the message below. I've tried reinstalling textmate and the plugin without any difference.

~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Ack.tmbundle/Support/lib/search_dialog.rb:11:in ': string contains null byte (ArgumentError) from ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Ack.tmbundle/Support/lib/search_dialog.rb:11:in `show' from ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Ack.tmbundle/Support/environment.rb:91:in `show_search_dialog' from -:2

    Hey,

    I can only guess that the ack search history has somehow become corrupted, unless you're somehow searching for a string that contains a null byte (no idea how you'd do that).

    The search history is stored in textmate's preferences and you can remove it from the command line like this:

    defaults delete com.macromates.textmate ackHistory

    Regards, Trev

    I tried doing that and it didn't seem to fix anything. I've also noticed that the normal textmate find in project isn't working anymore either (it just doesn't find any results). I'm guessing the two things are related.

    Sorry for bothering you with this ticket, it seems like something got corrupted when i was messing around, managed to remove everything (all the plists etc) for textmate and reinstalling and everything works now. thanks for the help.

    I had the same problem.
    defaults delete com.macromates.textmate ackHistory
    works for me

    Thanks for advice.
