Check files that are ignored by default

[ericcornelissen]

For this project I want to check SVG files. However *.svg is in the exclude string by default and I did not manage to negate this. Any suggestions?

Is your *.svg added to your git repository? (This tool only check files tracked by git)
If so you can disable the default excludes by the i|ignore-flag like this:
ec -i or ec --ignore.

Remember that you need to add the default excludes to your .ecrc-file for filetypes you want to exclude.

Does this help?
If not, feel free to reopen the issue.

It does, thanks. However, I tried that before and only now do I realize why I thought it didn't work: I'm trying to ensure that *.svg does not have a final newline but it seems this checker won't report an error when insert_final_newline=false but the file does have a final newline.

From the EditorConfig website (see quote ⬇️) I would expect it does 🤔 Thoughts?

insert_final_newline: set to "true" to ensure file ends with a newline when saving and "false" to ensure it doesn't.

Ah good point.
Actually I've thought it wouldn't matter if insert_final_newline is set to false or not set at all.
I think I will implement that soonish but this will result in a major version bumb.

Thanks for pointing at the wrong behaviour.

(BTW, in case you don't know if your file was added to be checked you can use this tool with the -v or --verbose)

Okay, thanks for the update 😄

I found that out with my second comment, thanks anyway.
