gutentags: gutentags: gtags-cscope job failed, returned: 1 #225

wangawen · 2018-12-21T03:11:58Z

Describe the bug
I got error message like tittle.
And I put "let g:gutentags_trace = 1" in .vimrc then I saw a message:
gutentags: Running: ['gtags', '--incremental', '/home/hellokitty/.cache/.tags/project-hellokitty-proj1-']
gutentags: In: project/hellokitty/proj1
...
'gtags: /home/hellokitty/.cache/.tags/project-hellokitty-proj1-/GTAGS seems corrupted.'
gutentags: gutentags: gtags-cscope job failed, returned: 1

I manually run gtags in the root project folder and it works.

And in cache :
-rw------- 1 hellokitty rnd 0 Dec 20 22:35 GPATH
-rw------- 1 hellokitty rnd 0 Dec 20 22:35 GRTAG
-rw------- 1 hellokitty rnd 0 Dec 20 22:35 GTAGS

Steps to reproduce

let g:gutentags_trace = 1 in ~/.vimrc
open any project file.

Share your setup

CentOS / Vim 8.2.0
Universal Ctags/gtags (GNU GLOBAL) 6.6.3
Are you using g:gutentags_cache_dir? Yes

Hers's my confiuration in .vimrc
let g:gutentags_modules = ['ctags', 'gtags_cscope']
let g:gutentags_project_root = ['.git']
let g:gutentags_ctags_tagfile = '.tags'
let s:vim_tags = expand('~/.cache/.tags')
let g:gutentags_cache_dir = s:vim_tags
let g:gutentags_file_list_command = 'find . -type f -name *.c -o -type f -name *.h'
if !isdirectory(s:vim_tags)
silent! call mkdir(s:vim_tags, 'p')
endif
let g:gutentags_ctags_extra_args = ['--fields=+niazS', '--extras=+q']
let g:gutentags_ctags_extra_args += ['--c++-kinds=+px']
let g:gutentags_ctags_extra_args += ['--c-kinds=+px']
let g:gutentags_ctags_extra_args += ['--output-format=e-ctags']
let g:gutentags_trace = 1

Best Regards!!!!!!

After edit source file autoload/gutentags/gtags_cscope.vim line 91 :
let l:cmd += ['--incremental', '"'.l:db_path.'"'] to let l:cmd += ['--incremental', '--skip-unreadable', '"'.l:db_path.'"'].
This issue can be solved. But I don't know why.

And I have another questions : How to use g:gutentags_exclude_filetypes?
I want to skip the file of symbol link, and I try to use let g:gutentags_exclude_filetypes = ['l']
but it seems didn't work.

ludovicchabant · 2019-03-11T07:24:26Z

I'm not familiar with gtags but maybe some files had encoding it doesn't handle, or maybe permissions it couldn't access? Either way we should add a gutentags_gtags_extra_args so people can add custom extra arguments.

Look for :help gutentags_exclude_filetypes. This is for Vim file types, though, so probably not what you want. All it does is check the &filetype of the currently opened Vim buffer and uses that to decide if it shoud do anything at all.

xianyinxin · 2019-04-15T15:31:58Z

@CodingdAwn me too. The log ending with "gutentags: [job output]: 'gtags: nextkey not found in GPATH.'", exactly the same with you.
my gtags version is 6.6.3, osx 10.14.4

grant7788 · 2019-04-21T09:49:19Z

Me too. 3 files generated with file size 0 in Vim,
while manualy run gtag with same instruction showed in "messages" in terminal can generate proper files.
(need to delete these 3 empty files first)

ludovicchabant · 2019-05-06T05:13:25Z

Do you all have both ctags and gtags_cscope enabled as Gutentags modules? I'm wondering if the 2 jobs could be messing with each other... can someone try to only enable gtags_cscope?

I disable generate ctags, open new c++ file, it's not work.
and then,
I remove all files in .cache/tags/ and open a new or old c++ file, it works.
and i enable ctags, it perfect too.
so i think it's no matter with whether ctags is generate. just cache files maybe mess.
forgive my bad english and thank for response

jm33-m0 · 2020-02-02T06:10:20Z

On Ubuntu 20.04 daily build, I got the same error with 3 empty GTAGS files.
Finally I found the culprit:

@ludovicchabant is right, I don't need to enable both ctags and gtags_cscope
Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have python executable in $PATH, which is why gtags_cscope fails

I manually added a /usr/local/bin/python symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3, gtags_cscope works

So if you are experiencing the same issue, you might want to check your python installation as well

PetrusZ · 2020-02-06T07:31:39Z

Gentoo, /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python3 exist, still got 3 empty files.

Ok ， i have try switch to Python3 ,gtags worked !! Thank U.

winkee01 · 2020-03-16T04:27:47Z

The reason is that your system python is python 2, but the /usr/local/share/gtags/script/pygments_parser.py is a python 3 file.
if you have python 3 installed in your system already(for example, /usr/bin/python3), you can simply change the parser of pygments_parser.py to python 3.

skywind3000 · 2020-03-16T06:27:47Z

@winkee01 , it is a totally flaky solution to modify gtags's read-only script.

This script works for both python 2 and 3.

Why not just install pygments module in your python2 ??

Corey-Keller · 2020-04-23T19:33:19Z

Has there been any progress on implementing 'g:gutentags_gtags_extra_args' or any other way of setting default options? For example I prefer to have '--accept-dotfiles --compact' on every run.

Just delete ~/.cache/tags/* . It works for me -:)

winkee01 · 2020-09-17T03:07:47Z

gutentags: gtags-cscope job failed, returned: 1

when first open a new file, it auto-generate some tags, this process is successful, and no error messages are popped out, but when executing:w again, the error message will show.

usually, when the tracing message does not identify where the errors come from, it's probably because the tags file are messed up, so in this case, we can try simply delete all cached tags file in ~/.cache/tags/* to fix it.

jm33-m0 · 2020-09-18T05:09:54Z

I think gutentags needs more precise error reporting (job failed, returned 1 is no better than nothing), or even better, check the environment during installation

joecgs · 2020-10-31T03:28:47Z

try simple project first
