Deletion not working, not neccesarily a bug

[mikaelwills]

I couldnt find anything in the readme or around the net about this.
But when i press either C-d or d and this comes up to confirm deletion.
Anything I press here just makes this go away but the project is still in the list.

Am i missing something simple?

@mikaelwills Fixed this in my fork:

function History.delete_project(project)
    if History.recent_projects == nil then
        return
    end

    local new_tbl = {}

    for _, v in next, History.recent_projects do
        if v ~= project.value and not in_tbl(new_tbl, v) then --- `in_tbl ==> vim.tbl_contains`
            table.insert(new_tbl, v)
        end
    end

    History.recent_projects = copy(new_tbl) --- `copy ==> vim.deepcopy`

    History.filter_recent_projects()
    History.write_projects_to_history()
end

---

In the original code, it seems that the History.delete_project() function didn't call History.write_projects_to_history() to make the changes instantaneous. Instead opting for this:

project.nvim/lua/project_nvim/utils/history.lua

Lines 62 to 68 in 8c6bad7

	function M.delete_project(project)
	for k, v in ipairs(M.recent_projects) do
	if v == project.value then
	M.recent_projects[k] = nil
	end
	end
	end

The delete.project() function gets called from here:

project.nvim/lua/telescope/_extensions/projects.lua

Lines 124 to 140 in 8c6bad7

	local function delete_project(prompt_bufnr)
	local selectedEntry = state.get_selected_entry(prompt_bufnr)
	if selectedEntry == nil then
	actions.close(prompt_bufnr)
	return
	end
	local choice = vim.fn.confirm("Delete '" .. selectedEntry.value .. "' from project list?", "&Yes\n&No", 2)
	if choice == 1 then
	history.delete_project(selectedEntry)
	local finder = create_finder()
	state.get_current_picker(prompt_bufnr):refresh(finder, {
	reset_prompt = true,
	})
	end
	end

@mikaelwills TL;DR the project history file wasn't being updated when deleting.

Luckily I'm addressing this and more issues in my fork:
