Display directories even if we don't have permission to enter

[rockandska]

Hi,

fd don't display directories if it can't going in it when find/ls display it

$ ls -ld /tmp/systemd-private-038f51d7f3d04e02abcb87284bf17671-rtkit-daemon.service-yF0Zn0
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 avril 23 09:16 /tmp/systemd-private-038f51d7f3d04e02abcb87284bf17671-rtkit-daemon.service-yF0Zn0
$ find /tmp 2> /dev/null | grep "/tmp/systemd-private-038f51d7f3d04e02abcb87284bf17671-rtkit-d"
/tmp/systemd-private-038f51d7f3d04e02abcb87284bf17671-rtkit-daemon.service-yF0Zn0
$ fd -a '' /tmp | grep "/tmp/systemd-private-038f51d7f3d04e02abcb87284bf17671-rtkit-d"
$

Is there any plan to allow same behaviour even if it is with an option ?

You can use the --show-errors option for this:

▶ sudo mkdir test; sudo chmod 700 test
▶ fd
▶ fd --show-errors
[fd error]: ./test: Permission denied (os error 13)

Hi,

I was aware that the --show-errors is able to show the directories with error related to permission, but i was expecting to see them without an error message and with the same format as normal results like find does.

You are right. We should still show the entry for test, even if we can not enter the directory. If --show-errors is enabled in addition, fd should show the match and the error (because there could be other results within test).

Fixed by updating to the latest ignore version.
