select option in ZkNotes seems weird

[danymat]

Hello,
I broke my head this morning about using the select option in ZkNotes, referring to zklist lsp.
I wanted my picker to only display the file name, so after trying every select cases, i found that:

 require("zk.commands").get("ZkNotes")({ select = {'path' } })

Was the way to go:

But if we don't add:

 require("zk.commands").get("ZkNotes")({ select = {'path' , 'absPath'} })

We get a nil error when opening the fuzzed file (/zk/lua/zk.lua:135: attempt to concatenate field 'absPath' (a nil value))

I think these parameters are somehow difficult to understand in the zklist lsp documentation (or maybe there indeed a bug)

As the output of this command might be very verbose and put a heavy load on the LSP client, you need to explicitly set which note fields you want to receive when using zk.list with the select option.

This fails because zk-nvim requires the absPath field to work properly when using the ZkNotes command.

I don't think you can customize this, because it's hard-coded in the zk-nvim fzf picker here:

Although if you use what you suggested (removing title with { select = {'path' , 'absPath'} }) this should work, but is a side-effect more than a feature.

I have been trying to set the select option as well with no success. Actually, { select = {'path' , 'absPath'} } is the only one that yielded a result list and I did not even come up with it myself !

I feel dumb, but I do not get your answer completely. What is the bottom line here ?
Is it possible at all to customize the result line with zk-nvim, or should I try and use zk list in my own fzf-lua command for example ?

[mickael-menu]

It's not possible to customize the result line with zk-nvim, select is not made for that but only to specify which payload we get from the LSP server.

Thank you for clarifying it for me. I gave it a go with fzf-lua, it is unfortunately beyond my very limited lua skills.
