Combination of -g and --type

[twmr]

I would like to only grep in files with a given type and a given glob. To grep in all python files that are not unit-tests I locally run rg serachstring -tpy -g "!tests". However, it is not possible to do this using deadgrep, because the file-type in deadgrep can either be all, glob or type, but not a combination of those.

My current workaround is to override deadgrep--arguments, where I add (push "-globs=!tests" args).

Would #93 solve this problem?

@gvol I guess you are asking if a custom ripgrep type defined via --add-type would solve my problem. I doubt, but I can have a closer look tmr.

Well, deadgrep-file-type-alist can specify any arguments to pass to rg when you choose a "type". So, you could have (untested):

(setq deadgrep-file-type-alist
      '((python "--type=python")
        (python-not-tests "--type=python" "-globs=!tests")))

and then if you choose the type of "python" it would use all python files, but if you chose "python-not-tests" it would choose only python files that aren't tests.

Then it would definitely solve my problem. Thx for bringing #93 up here!
