Getting "grep searching error" for all page  #1

Summary

Hi! Found this via the https://github.com/logseq/awesome-logseq -- the functionality seems like it'd be great, thanks for building this! However, after setting it up, I'm having some issues:

When using C-c C-o on a page or ID link, clicking the link in the Emacs UI or using M-x org-logseq-open-link I'm getting grep searching error.

My Steps

  • Install via Straight
  • Set org-logseq-dir variable (which I've verified to be correct via Emacs variable explorer C-h v)
  • Execute M-x org-logseq-mode in the current buffer

Environment info:

  • Emacs version 27.1
  • grep version: grep (GNU grep) 3.6 Packaged by Homebrew
  • I'm on macOS

Error

grep searching error in status bar.

Debugging

I see the page query here:

('page "grep -niR \"^#+\\(TITLE\\): *%s\" \"%s\" --exclude-dir=\".git\"" )

If I run the following grep command from my org-logseq-dir in zsh

grep -niR "^#+\\(TITLE\\): *Apr 4th, 2021" --exclude-dir=".git"

(manually created based on that query), I'm seeing the grep result:

journals/2021_04_04.org:1:#+TITLE: Apr 4th, 2021

So it seems like the base grep query works. However, when I add in the "%s" part of the query, it causes grep: Apr 4th, 2021: No such file or directory, which looks like it could be triggering the error line I'm seeing:

(when (string-prefix-p "grep" result)

Why is that extra part of the query necessary? Apologies, as I'm not too experienced with grep.
