Projectile does not seem to consider non-git repos

What happened?

Projectile does not treat a non-git repo as a proper root for a project

What did you expect to happen?

SPC, p, f should not have asked what project to go to. It should have just shown a list of files for that directory and all subdirectories.

Steps to reproduce

Open Doom Emacs Use spc+. to search for a file in a future project without a git repo or a .projectile file Once opened that file, use SPC f a to add project root to list. Close Emacs and reopen project with SPC SPC Use SPC, p, f, it asks for a list of projects as if it is not in one.

It does work properly if a project has a git repo. In fact projectile will ignore the project set root and use the git repo root if it is in a subdirectory of that git repo.

Hi,

I think this is a known problem with Projectile, probably Doom is not to blame here. I thought about checking the Projectile repository, sometimes the issue is upstream.

Here’s some issues that look related:

Bug Help Wanted

## Expected behavior I have a parent git project called .emacs.d which has the …following directory structure ``` .emacs.d |- .projectile |- init.el |- straight |- repos |- projectile |- projectile.el |- README.md ``` The .projectile file can be empty. The straight/repos/projectile directory is another git repo (this one actually), cloned by [straight.el](https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/). Let's suppose that I have opened `./straight/projectile/projectile.el` file, and then I try to use `projectile-find-file` command to find any other file in the projectile repo. I should be able to do this and see files listed from the projectile git repository (e.g. README.md), and not other files from the parent .emacs.d repo (e.g. init.el). ## Actual behavior `projectile-find-file` shows the files from the .emacs.d repo, and not from the projectile repo instead. Once I remove the offending `.projectile` file from the parent .emacs.d folder, I am able to list only the files inside the projectile repository instead. ## Steps to reproduce the problem - Configure [straight.el](https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/) and install projectile repo. - Create a `.projectile` file in the .emacs.d directory, - open ./straight/repos/projectile/projectile.el file. - press `C-c p f` to call `projectile-find-file` ## Environment & Version information ### Projectile version information 2.5.0 ### Emacs version 27.1 ### Operating system Debian 11

Thx @jman,

Looks like Projectile has slowed down and it is difficult to contribute to.

Hlissner wants to replace it with project.el Is it possible to remove the dependencies to projectile (replace it with project.el)? · Issue #6291 · doomemacs/doomemacs · GitHub

A status here.

Trying to find if there is a public fork of this to test.

Hi @hlissner,

Sorry to tag you like this; was not sure of how else to find out this information. Is there a public branch of the work to replace Projectile with project.el that I can test or contribute to?

For subprojects in a git repo or projects without a git repo Doom Emacs is essentially broken for me.
