Unable to vectorise project - argument list too long

[Ajaymamtora]

When I try to vectorise my typescript project with zsh, I get:

vectorcode vectorise src/**/*.ts
zsh: argument list too long: vectorcode

Then I tried with bash, and I get:

bash-3.2$ vectorcode vectorise src/**/*.ts
Host at 127.0.0.1:8000 is unavailable. VectorCode will start its own Chromadb at a random port.

But there's definitely more than 8 typescript files in my project, is this expected?

Hi, I think this is a restriction from the shell. Please try wrapping the wildcard in quotes:

vectorcode vectorise "src/**/*.ts" -r

The quote will pass the wildcard to VectorCode, which bypasses the shell restriction. The -r flag means recursive, which will go through all sub-directories in src/.

You can also try putting the following content in a .vectorcode/vectorcode.include file (start from the project root):

src/**/*.ts

and run vectorcode vectorise without arguments.
This should have the same effect.
