Hitting this error when trying to run project-query-replace-regexp. The project I'm working under has git submodules, if that could cause any issues? (Redacted some of the directories and search strings)

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Read error" "Is a directory" "/Users/x/x/x/common/x")
  insert-file-contents("/Users/x/x/x/common/x" nil)
  fileloop-next-file(t)
  fileloop-continue()
  project-query-replace-regexp("x::x::x::x" "y::y::y::y")
  funcall-interactively(project-query-replace-regexp "x::x::x::x" "y::y::y::y")
  call-interactively(project-query-replace-regexp nil nil)
  command-execute(project-query-replace-regexp)

  • The debugger seems to be telling you that the next "file" in the loop is a directory, and function insert-file-contents can't handle a directory as its argument. If you feel this wasn't from your doing then maybe consider reporting it: M-x report-emacs-bug.

    Sure thing, filed a bug. I guess it was from doing since I invoked the command :). But joking aside, no, I have not altered anything or done anything out of the ordinary. Guessing that there's some interaction with this directory structure I have.

    For posterity, that's debbugs.gnu.org/55382.
