Search always empty

Help
1

I’m using atuin locally since a long time and I’m updating regurarely with mice. Since 1-2 weeks the interactive search shows no results:

There seems to be no history. But all non-interactive commands work: atuin history last, atuin stats, atuin search.

I’ve tried with a new config, a new history db, but nothing helps. Any ideas?

Things you could try:

  • minimal .bashrc:
    # at the top (or remove):
eval "$(atuin init hex)"

# at the bottom:
eval "$(atuin init bash --disable-ai)"
  • ble.sh instead of bash-preexec (or maybe a newer version)
  • another shell like zsh or fish just to check if the problem is shell config related

Thanks for your inputs!

The only thing which helped, was a downgrade to atuin 18.13.6 :sad_but_relieved_face:

I’m seeing the exact same thing - atuin search works, but any of the search modes shows empty. Tested on fish (my regular shell), bash (raw / no actual .bashrc) and zsh (also raw).

Did you make any progress except for a downgrade?

5

No. Did try a lot of things before, but gave up for now.

Are you using the daemon? Check your config file

search_mode = "daemon_fuzzy" will mean that you are, and in order for search to function the daemon must be running. Docs for the daemon: daemon - Atuin Documentation

Either way, I would recommend using it. Searches (and everything else) will be much faster

7

Yes, I’m using `search_mode = "daemon_fuzzy"` with daemon autostart.

8

what is the result of atuin daemon status?

9

Oh

atuin daemon status
Daemon is not running

and atuin daemon start hangs.

But I’m currently back on atuin 18.13.6 and search_mode = “fuzzy”

I’m sure that the deamon was running in atuin 18.15.2.

it would only have autostarted if you have

[daemon]
enabled = true
autostart = true

in your config
