Empty buffer opens when selecting a help-git-grep result

[JuanCaicedo]

Hi everyone!

Description

When I'm trying to search within my code base and open a result, an empty buffer opens instead.

Reproduction guide 🪲

• run a search with SPC g / from within a git project
• type in some text
• highlight a result and press enter

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔

• An empty buffer opens with this name

  mouse-1: select candidate
  mouse-3: menu actions
  

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄

• The selected code should open in a new buffer

Other info

I've tried to disable all mouse actions within my editor by adding this code.

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()

  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<C-down-mouse-1>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<M-down-mouse-1>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<mouse-2>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<M-drag-mouse-1>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<M-mouse-1>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<M-mouse-2>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<M-mouse-3>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<S-mouse-1>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<S-mouse-2>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<S-mouse-3>") 'nothing)
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<mouse-3>") 'nothing)
  (dolist (mouse '("<down-mouse-1>" "<mouse-1>"))
    (global-unset-key (kbd mouse)))

However I still see the same behavior even if I comment that out

Hi @JuanCaicedo,

it seems to be an upstream issue, please check the solution mentioned here yasuyk/helm-git-grep#52.

Although not a direct solution, but I find using e.g. ag much faster to search the code base.

Thanks for that tip! I added (setq helm-allow-mouse nil) to my spacemacs file and that fixed it 😀
