dired unusable "no file on this line"

[Inc0n]

I am not sure what may be the cause of this issue, but it I had this one ever since emacs plus installed.

Pressing ret (dired-find-file) will prompt this.
Pressing R (dired-do-rename) will prompt "No file specified".

Basically dired is unusable.

I would like some help on this one, any fixes? Is anyone else experiencing this issue as well?

I just found out in https://emacsredux.com/blog/2015/05/09/emacs-on-os-x/

OS X ships with BSD’s ls command which doesn’t have all the features of GNU ls (used internally by dired). Fortunately, this is easily solvable:

$ brew install coreutils

To avoid conflicts the GNU utils are prefixed with g, so ls becomes gls.

(setq insert-directory-program (executable-find "gls"))

Glad you figured that out!
