How to ignore file:/// paths?

[wolf99]

Hi

I am trying to add this action on the https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager project.
The project includes some HTML files that are auto-generated by build tools that contain references to the local filesystem using paths like file:///....

Of course these links fail for the link checker.
On git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager#700 see the "Lint documentation / Check for broken links (pull_request)" job.

I have tried using --exclude-path "file:///" (See git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager@7304c59) but it has not had the desired affect - probably I am not using it correctly.
How can I tell Lychee to ignore such paths without ignoring the whole file?

Thanks!

I think I misunderstood the purpose of the --exclude-path argument; it is for the setting of files within the repo that should not be checked rather than setting a path link within any file that it should ignore.

Instead I have tried adding a .lycheeignore file with the regex

file:\/\/\/.*

Alternatively lychee --scheme http https -- example.com.
