Good catch! For some reason I have a rogue .gitignore at ~/. I opened code under ~/dev/devtools-core as the root. ~/ is not a git repository. Thanks for the help. What would you like to do with this bug?

So it’s missing everything under packages? Can you try simplifying the arguments or throwing in a --no-ignore just to make sure it didn’t end up in your .gitignore?

Can you get files that it does return in quickopen?
