   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • File search via @ symbol is very slow in large projects, possibly due to lack of debounce and search triggering on every character #2772: File search via @ symbol is very slow in large projects, possibly due to lack of debounce
   • CJK characters break some features like @ mentions #3734: CJK characters break some features like @ mentions
   • [BUG] Autocomplete dropdown conflicts with permission dialog - visual overlap and keyboard event capture #5820: Autocomplete dropdown conflicts with permission dialog (related to autocomplete functionality)

   Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

   I just checked in other projects. @ works and shows up file path suggestions in other projects. For some reason it's not working in this particular project. If it helps, this project has not be initialised as a git repo yet.

   I initialised the project into a git repo and now the files autocomplete when using @. Is this by design?

   It could be a side-effect of the mechanism to ignore files in .gitignore. You could argue it's a security feature as well since typically, .env files are git-ignored.

   Try it your self. Add a file to .gitignore and it will no longer show in the suggested files.

   But non git repos don't have a .gitignore right? Should the harness still ignore all files if the dir is not a git repo?

   @abeisleem how can i fix this side effect while keeping the .gitignore file unchanged? I hope to have the ability to @ all files.

    same issue
    I can't mention files

    Adding a .gitignore file still achieves the same result.

    The file system is designed to work with version-controlled projects and expects ignore patterns to be present.

    A workaround would be to create a minimal .gitignore/.ignore in the root dir

    touch .gitignore
    
    # OR
    
    touch .ignore

    ---

    More technical details:

    In packages/opencode/src/file/index.ts, the list() function checks if the project is a git repository and loads .gitignore/.ignore files to filter results packages/opencode/src/file/index.ts. When no .gitignore exists, the ignore logic may not be handling the empty case properly.

    Tangentially, there's also:

    1. packages/opencode/src/file/ignore.ts which ignores files that are typically ignored.
    2. packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/component/prompt/autocomplete.tsx which is responsible for autocomplete functionality.

    And I'm not sure how the maintainers feel about not following this pattern for security (and maybe even context bloating) purposes. Naively tagging: @rekram1-node? I'd be happy to work a PR for this if you deem this behavior is worth supporting.

    I've encountered the same issue when working in a git repo with a defined .gitignore. If I delete it, the autocompletion suddenly starts working and keeps working for a short while after reverting the file. Then it stops working again.

    这可能是忽略 .gitignore 文件的机制的副作用。你可能会认为它通常也是一种安全功能,.env文件已被点亮。

    你自己试试。添加一个文件.gitignore并且将不再显示在建议文件中。

    It may not be related to the Git repository. I am on another computer and have not installed Git, so naturally I do not have a Git repository. However, I can still use @ to query all files in the current working directory.
    On this computer, it was initialized as a Git repository and a. gitignore file was created, but no files could be searched; Of course, I deleted the Git repository, but the problem still persists

    Hey, I wished on non-git repos, that opencode @ just list all files.

    I also encountered the same problem, and now the issue has been resolved.
    There is a problem with a tool called ripgrep (i.e. rg. exe)
    This is a high-performance text search tool that not only affects @ search for the current file, but also affects loading skills
    Rg.exe is located in the "%USERPROFILE%.local\share\opencode\bin" directory
    OpenCode should be able to find it, but I don't know why it can't be found. Just add this path to the system PATH environment variable
    The problem has been solved, but I still don't know why OpenCode can't find this program

    This is mentioned in docs already https://opencode.ai/docs/tools/#ignore-patterns
    I had .gitignore and since ripgrep respects it, it won't autocomplete files. Workaround is to create .ignore too with content !*.
