SCALAFMT_LINTER_RULES file does not exist

[tyvich]

Describe the bug

It appears that the latest version of slim-latest pushed to docker-hub does not run properly throwing the following error:

2021-11-10 20:00:16 [FATAL]     -> SCALAFMT_LINTER_RULES rules file (/action/lib/.automation/.scalafmt.conf) doesn't exist. 

Expected behavior

Should be able to run the JSON linter without SCALA linter sideeffects

Steps to Reproduce

docker run
-e RUN_LOCAL=true
-e ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG=true
-e ERROR_ON_MISSING_EXEC_BIT=true
-e MULTI_STATUS=false
-e VALIDATE_JSON=true
-v $(pwd):/tmp/lint
github/super-linter:slim-latest
-->

1. Run the above command

Likely -> https://github.com/github/super-linter/pull/2053

[tallguyjenks]

i get the same thing and even explicitly deactivating that linter still results in an error:

[adamdmharvey]

Is it possible that PR just missed adding a "default" .scalafmt.conf file maybe to this folder? https://github.com/github/super-linter/tree/main/TEMPLATES

[adamdmharvey]

And yes, the workaround that is valid for me right now is replacing :latest with :v4.8.1:

$ docker run -e RUN_LOCAL=true -v myrepo:/tmp/lint github/super-linter:v4.8.1

[tyvich]

That or it looks like a file could be placed here .github/linters/.scalafmt.conf

$ docker run -e RUN_LOCAL=true -v myrepo:/tmp/lint github/super-linter:v4.8.1

4.8.0 this should be ;) because 4.8.1 is the latest

[spoelly]

4.8.0 also gives this error :(

[admiralAwkbar]

just added the file and should be working in latest

will cut a release today

Added and cut
