Hidden files started with dot are not included for linting

[tymonx]

Subject of the issue

Hidden files started with dot . are not included for linting. Example: .hidden.

Your environment

• OS: podman
• Packages: podman run -it --rm registry.gitlab.com/pipeline-components/alex:0.21.9 --version

11.0.0

• Env: podman run -it --rm registry.gitlab.com/pipeline-components/alex:0.21.9 env

NODE_VERSION=19.8.1
YARN_VERSION=1.22.19

Steps to reproduce

1. Create hidden file that starts from dot .:

echo "pop" > .hidden

2. Run alex:

podman run -it --rm --volume "$(pwd):/alex:ro,z" --workdir "/alex" registry.gitlab.com/pipeline-components/alex:0.21.9 --why .

Expected behaviour

It should return status code 1 and print:

.hidden
  1:1-1:4  warning  `pop` may be insensitive, use `parent` instead  dad-mom  retext-equality

⚠ 1 warning

Actual behaviour

It returns status code 0 (success) without printing anything to standard output or error output.

Workaround

Explicitly provide hidden files to alex (for example using shell glob pattern substitution .*):

podman run -it --rm --volume "$(pwd):/alex:ro,z" --workdir "/alex" registry.gitlab.com/pipeline-components/alex:0.21.9 --why .*

But this will not work when .alexignore is defined:

echo ".hidden" > .alexignore

It returns status code 1 and prints:

.alexignore: no issues found
.hidden
  1:1  error  Cannot process specified file: it’s ignored

✖ 1 error

Hi!

It is intentional that dotfiles are not included by default.

If you want to include certain files, pass them: alex .hidden
