On first frencency load, the top result filepath is displayed fullpath instead of specified format

[csessh]

As titled, it only happens on the first time Telescope frecency loads (probably related to #270).

This is how I map frecency:

            {
                "<leader>ff",
                mode = { "n" },
                ':Telescope frecency workspace=CWD path_display={"smart"} <CR>',
                {
                    desc = "Telescope find files using frecency",
                    silent = true,
                },
            },

Happy to look into it and submit a PR if you could point me somewhere in the code base to get started.

Strange. I wrote a minimal config and could not reproduce this.

1. Store this info ~/.config/nvim-dev/telescope/init.lua.

   local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
   if vim.uv.fs_stat(lazypath) then
     vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
   else
     load(vim.fn.system "curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua")()
   end
   
   require("lazy").setup {
     { "nvim-telescope/telescope-frecency.nvim", opts = {} },
     {
       "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
       dependencies = { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim" },
       opts = {},
       keys = {
         {
           "<leader>ff",
           mode = { "n" },
           ':Telescope frecency workspace=CWD path_display={"smart"} <CR>',
           {
             desc = "Telescope find files using frecency",
             silent = true,
           },
         },
       },
     },
   }

2. Run env NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-dev/telescope nvim

3. Type <Leader>ff to run telescope-frecency.

How about you? You can reproduce with this procedure?

[csessh]

Let me give it a go in a bit

[csessh]

Could you also try accessing a file with longer path to bump it top result and see if it displays in smart format?

[delphinus]

Same results.

I wonder that your DB may have an entry on the top. Can you show me results from this command?

# run this on your dotfiles dir
# you need `jq`
nvim --headless +'=require("frecency").query { limit = 10, workspace = vim.uv.cwd(), json = true }' +q 2>&1 | jq .

[csessh]

Here's the output for the above command:

fw13 :: ~/.dotfiles ‹main› » nvim --headless +'=require("frecency").query {limit=10, workspace=vim.uv.cwd(), json=true}' +q 2>&1 | jq .
Found existing alias for "nvim". You should use: "v"

]

I'll try a minimal setup and see what comes up

[csessh]

Same result for me with the setup you provided.
Different file order due to the lack of sorting by score, but some are still displayed as full path where it feels like they should be shorten.

In this case, the full path still fits in the picker display, but longer paths probably will overflow

                {
                    desc = "Telescope find files using frecency",
                    silent = true,
                },
            },

Happy to look into it and submit a PR if you could point me somewhere in the code base to get started.

also, I only just notice that in this example above, the path it displays is also incorrect. It takes the root dir and appends the expanded fullpath to the file.

.dotfiles//home/csessh/....

[delphinus]

Hmm, why the orders are different between the minimal config and yours? Please show me your config for telescope-frecency.

  "/home/csessh/.dotfiles/nvim/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/lsp.lua",
  "/home/csessh/.dotfiles/shell/.zshrc",
  ……

The command I supplied makes it print entries with the descending order by score. So I supposed the entry /home/csessh/.dotfiles/nvim/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/telescope.lua should be the top, but your result seems different. 🤔

Ah, this is my mistake. The top entry seems to be /home/csessh/.dotfiles/nvim/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/telescope.lua and frecency shows it as an invalid string .dotfiles//home/csessh/..... I mistakenly your entries in DB relates to this screenshot, but this was minimal DB config.

I've read your config and see it has no doubtful property value. I'll check the logic if frecency can make such invalid string from your entry name.
