The glob patterns did not match any source files

[asarkar]

Given the following directory structure:

haskell-mooc/
├── .github/
│   └── workflows/
│       └── ci.yml
├── Examples
├── Mooc
├── .stack-work
└── Set1.hs

where ci.yml runs ormolu as follows:

- name: 'Check Formatting'
  uses: haskell-actions/run-ormolu@v14
  with:
    mode: check
    pattern: |
      'Examples/*.hs'
      'Mooc/*.hs'
      '*.hs'

The build generates the following warning:

Ideally, it shouldn't search in hidden directories unless dotglob is set, so, it appears to be a bug. Although I'm no JS expert, I noticed what seems to be an attempt to convert relative path to absolute, and in doing so, it may be including hidden files.

Hello, well, the code you quote is not something I wrote, it is inlined as part of packaging when index.js is converted into dist/index.js. IIUC the problem is that Set1.hs should be matched by the glob and it isn't? How is this related to hidden files? Have you tried removing single quotes around each glob? See https://github.com/haskell-actions/run-ormolu/blob/master/action.yml#L9-L11.

the problem is that Set1.hs should be matched by the glob

Set1 and .hs files in Examples and Mooc.

How is this related to hidden files?

Not hidden files. At some point, I thought I saw ormolu picking up files from the .stack-work directory.

tried removing single quotes

I just did, and that worked! In fact, I removed the pattern altogether, and I don't see files from the hidden .stack-work directory being included anymore.

I'm happy to close the ticket, but do you think the documentation can be updated to warn the users about not quoting the patterns?

[mrkkrp]

.stack-work should probably be gitignored.

but do you think the documentation can be updated to warn the users about not quoting the patterns?

Well, the readme already links to the example in action.yml, but maybe it is worth saying it explicitly.
