1193095 - obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu directory appearing in dxr results.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1191590

(Webtools Graveyard :: DXR, defect)

Description

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

A search like https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=SyncServer&redirect=false&case=true&limit=76&offset=76 is showing many results from an obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu directory. This looks like a regular obj directory - all results are duplicates from the actual source tree. They should be excluded.

Magically fixed :)

Hmm - it seems to appear sometimes, and sometimes doesn't. Eg:

> is showing many results from an obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu directory.

That URL no longer shows them. But I just did a search:

> https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=executeAsync&redirect=false&case=true&limit=76&offset=0

and the first 8 files listed are normal, but from 9 on I see:
> obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/_build_manifests/install/tests
> obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dist/bin/browser/components/ChromeProfileMigrator.js
> obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dist/bin/modules/FormHistory.jsm

etc.

markh, we're tracking discussion on indexing the object directory in 1191590. The consensus so far seems to be that having the object directory indexed is useful for files that are not just copies of others in the source.
