--filter does not work with negatives anywhere other than prune #6021
Description
Description
Hi, the --filter option still is non conformant with the specs. It does not respect anything negative such --filter "label!:foo" on anything else other than prune command.
It does work on prune commands.
Reproduce
$ docker ps -a --filter "label!=foo"
Error response from daemon: invalid filter 'label!'
Expected behavior
No response

Curious what specs you're referring to. Yes, there's definitely improvements to be made, but I don't think

Hi @thaJeztah it is documented here:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/cli/filter/#multiple-negated-filters
It is a high level document that says it extends to all the commands (is there any reason it should not be the same in all contexts?)
