Context awareness doesn't seem to work about deadgrep HOT 5 OPEN

What happens? What's the output of M-x deadgrep?

from deadgrep.

@Wilfred Sorry for the late answer. The output is fine, except the directory is the directory of the current file, not the project (e.g. git) root.

What's the output for M-x deadgrep-debug? (Woops, that's what I meant to write in my last comment.)

from deadgrep.

Ah, I see. The output is (in subdir):

About your environment:
Platform: gnu/linux
Emacs version: 26.1
Command: nil
default-directory: "/home/philipp/project/subdir"

Initial output from ripgrep:
nil

from deadgrep.

Unless you've changed the value of deadgrep-project-root-function, you'll be using deadgrep--project-root. This calls (project-current), an Emacs built-in function that has presumably decided that subdir is the project root.

If so, project-find-functions is returning the subdirectory. Do you have any version control things in there? The default value for project-find-functions is project-try-vc.
