Can't find fixed strings

[jduan]

What version of ripgrep are you using?

ripgrep 12.1.1
-SIMD -AVX (compiled)
+SIMD +AVX (runtime)

How did you install ripgrep?

nixpkgs

What operating system are you using ripgrep on?

macOS 10.15.6

Describe your bug.

For some reason, a query with "--fixed-strings" can't find lines that match the fixed string.

What are the steps to reproduce the behavior?

Let's say you have this file "/tmp/1":

    metric:
      datadog_query: max(last_{{$duration}}):sum:{{$metric_name}}{service:{{$service}},tier:production}

This query should return the second line in the file but it returns nothing:

rg -F "max(last_{{$duration}}):sum:{{$metric_name}}{service:{{$service}},tier:production}" /tmp/1

What is the actual behavior?

What is the expected behavior?

ripgrep should return the 2nd line

Use single quotes instead of double quotes. With double quotes, your shell is expanding your $variables, which are presumably undefined and therefore empty.

Thanks for the quick response! Now I feel dumb 😭
