Vim: Difficulty setting up ctags. Source in subdirectories don't see tags file in project root

Question

I\'m trying to get setup with (exuberant) ctags on Vim today and am having difficulty getting it to work properly. I generate my ctags file on the command line with with:

<

Answer 1

add this to .vimrc file set tags=tags;/

This will check the current folder for tags file and keep going one directory up all the way to the root folder.

So you can be in any sub-folder in your project and it'll be able to find the tags files.
