Allow overriding yaml-files with globs

[mowies]

I would like to have my included files listed in the .yamllint config file directly instead of specifying them in the command.

I have a block in my .yamllint config file that looks like this:

yaml-files:
  - ".github/**/*.yml"
  - ".github/**/*.yaml"
  - "docs/**/*.yml"
  - "docs/**/*.yaml"
  - ".yamllint"

But my YAML files in the .github and the docs folder are not picked up at all. Not by --list-files and also not by the general lint command.

Is it a possibility to add this functionality?

Hello,

I confirm the problem:

mkdir -p .github/dir/subdir
echo 'foo: bar' > .github/file.yaml
echo 'foo: bar' > .github/dir/subdir/file.yaml
yamllint --list-files .
# ↑ works (prints both files)
yamllint -d '{yaml-files: [".github/**/*.yaml"]}' --list-files .
# ↑ doesn't work (doesn't print anything)
yamllint --version
# 1.29.0

But this is a duplicate of #334 and #390 isn't it? I propose to continue the discussion in #334.
