fix: Revert in the beginning of commit message ignores all rules

[arxeiss]

Expected Behavior

When message starts with Revert keyword, I would expect the rules are evaluated too. But all rules are now completely ignored.

Current Behavior

If there is Revert, no check is performed at all.

$ echo "Revert bla bla bla" | commitlint -V
    ⧗   input: Revert bla bla bla
    ✔   found 0 problems, 0 warnings

But without Revert, everything goes well

$ echo "bla bla bla" | commitlint -V 
    ⧗   input: bla bla bla
    ✖   subject may not be empty [subject-empty]
    ✖   type may not be empty [type-empty]
    ⚠   Your commit message is missing JIRA ticket. Consider adding it to commit body or ignore this error. [contains-jira-ticket]
    
    ✖   found 2 problems, 1 warnings

Possible Solution

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create `commitlint.config.js` with content below
2. Execute `echo "Revert bla bla bla" | commitlint -V` and `echo "bla bla bla" | commitlint -V` to see different behavior. 


module.exports = {
  extends: ["@commitlint/config-conventional"]
}

Context

We use Release please action to trigger releases when specific subject is in the message. And when message is like Revert "feat: xxx" it is not triggering release.

Plus we have some limitations in our pipeline, that specific characters cannot be in commit message. Like " or ' or `.
So we have custom rule, but that one is never applied, if there is Revert in the beginning of the message.

commitlint --version

@commitlint/cli@17.7.2

git --version

git version 2.42.0

node --version

v18.13.0

Looks like this works as intended.
You should be able to disable defaults and set your own in the config.

[arxeiss]

You are right. I was searching through the doc for option like this but missed it. Plus I was a bit confused by

  /*
   * Functions that return true if commitlint should ignore the given message.
   */
  ignores: [(commit) => commit === ''],

So it seems like it ignores only empty string. And commitlint --print-config shows

ignores: undefined,
defaultIgnores: undefined,

Would it be possible to add link to https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/blob/master/%40commitlint/is-ignored/src/defaults.ts#L17 into documentation or document the ignored regexes somewhere? What do you think?

Sure, happy for any PRs improving the docs!

Checks need to be approved. Just did that. Thanks! Will merge. Closing this.
