[Bug]: Telescope File Finder doesn't Ignore `.gitignore`

[christopher-besch]

Problem description

In a version of LunarVim from over a month ago the Telescope file finder ignored anything matched by the local .gitignore. In the latest release this isn't the case anymore and searching with it results in a lot of clutter.
When I'm looking for one of my code files I don't care about those bazillion node_module files.

LunarVim version

0.6.1
As of the creation of this Issue, the latest rolling version shows the same problem.

Neovim version (>= 0.5)

v0.7.0-dev+667-g419e0d117

Screenshots

I'm looking for my index.tsx file but instead I get a lot of garbage from the node_modules directory.

If you do a fd index in the same directory does it produce the same output?

We haven't changed the settings and Telescope's version is pinned, so I'm not sure this is on our side of things. Can you post your config.lua?

Solved it; I didn't have fd installed as I moved from Fedora to Manjaro. I didn't know it was a dependency of LunarVim. Maybe this should be noted in the documentation.

Thanks a lot for your help, @chase!

I've opened a PR, which is also adding xclip.

It does show up in :checkhealth as well.

The weird part is that ripgrep should've been the next in line if fd was not found, and it should've ignored those unless you have modified its config somehow.

I mean the file search still worked, it just didn't ignore using the .gitignore. Maybe ripgrep just doesn't care about the .gitignore.

It does care unless you specified otherwise.

It does care unless you specified otherwise.

Weird, even with the default config it didn't work and I'm pretty sure I didn't explicitly tell it not to...
