Hi Michael,
Hi Dmitry,
When invoking a command that respects xref-search-program via TRAMP,
e.g. on a remote system that doesn't have (in my case ripgrep)
installed, an error is signalled indicating that the search query
couldn't be executed.
One way to work around this will probably involve an addition to
find-file-hook and some code which checks (file-remote-p
buffer-file-name) and sets xref-search-program to a particular value
buffer-locally depending on the result.
Or an around-advice for xref-matches-in-files.
There are connection-local variables exactly for this use case.
Is there a documented way on how to make the variable's value on
remote hosts customizable for the user too?
Something like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(connection-local-set-profile-variables
'remote-xref-variables
'((xref-search-program . "/bin/grep")))
(with-eval-after-load 'xref
(connection-local-set-profiles
'(:application tramp :machine "myhost")
'remote-xref-variables))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
