No files listed for remote projects

[JonatanSahar]

Hi!
That's something that started recently - I add a new project over TRAMP and when I run projectile-find-file, I get an empty list and the message:

Projectile is initializing cache for /ssh: user@server:/path ...
(with the correct user and path)

Would appreciate any help.. Thanks!

Can you share you Projectile settings here?

Are there any other relevant messages from Projectile in the *Messages* buffer?

How did you add the project? Does opened a file in it or added it to the known projects first?

[JonatanSahar]

Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm using a very recent Doom, with the default configuration. I see I have (autoload 'projectile-project-root "projectile") in my consult settings for some reason.
There are no other messages and no errors.
I added the project when visiting a file that belongs to it.

What's the Projectile version bundled with Doom? I have to admit I'm not familiar with the setup there, but I have some memory it was pinning packages it uses to some Git versions.

In general it's not a bad idea to instrument projectile-find-file (see https://docs.projectile.mx/projectile/troubleshooting.html#debugging-projectile-commands) and step through it with the built-in debugger.

It's 2.8.0

I've activated edebug in the function, moved to a git buffer of the project and called projectile-find-file, it didn't drop into the debugger, showing the usual empty results list. When I hit Esc, I got this stack:

Hmm, what's the output from M-x projectile-project-info?

Evaluating M-: (projectile-project-files (projectile-acquire-root)) would also be useful.

If you can I'd also suggest to update to the latest Projectile, as 2.8 is a bit old at this point.
