wildignore in macvim

So I've tried setting this to both a quote-delimited string and without delimiters, but it doesn't seem to be excluding the directory I've specified.
In this case I'm running :set wildignore+=out/**
This should remove all files from the out directory (relative to the cwd at the moment) correct? I still see matches under out after running this.

Seems I needed to add this to an autocommand, which I've done. I do see out/ results, but they're further down the list which is good enough for now.

Yep,
:set wildignore+=out/**
should definitely work.Can you post the contents of your
~/.vimrc
and also the output of:set wildignore?

Contents follow. This is from my work machine, which is slightly different from the one at home and which I haven't gotten CommandT working on yet:
color vilight set ic set hls is set si set foldmethod=indent set foldnestmax=10 set nofoldenable set foldlevel=1 set nu set backspace=indent,eol,start set noro set nowrap set tabstop=2 set shiftwidth=2 set autoindent set wildignore+=out/** filetype plugin on syntax on set guifont=Lucida_Console:h14:cANSI set guioptions=""
"this wildignore should also affect :vim searches is my understanding, and they are still coming back with results from out/

Not sure if
'wildignore'
affects:vim
searches or not. Perhaps it does.In any case, You can test the effect of your
'wildignore'
setting by calling theexpand()
function.For example, just say your
'wildignore'
contains 'foo' and you're in a directory with files "foo" and "bar":-
:echo expand("foo")
will echo nothing at all, because the "foo" file in the current directory is filtered out by the'wildignore'
setting -
:echo expand("bar")
will echo "bar", because "bar" is not filtered out -
:echo expand("baz")
will echo "baz", because even though "baz" doesn't exist in the current directory, neither does it get filtered out
So, if your settings are correct, then
:echo expand("out/foo/bar")
should echo nothing at all. -
