CLI --ignored-files behavior differs from readme
AssBackwards opened this issue · comments
Greetings!
I've only used this package from the CLI and I have discovered that --ignoredFiles only seems to take one blob. However, I can specify --ignoredFiles multiple times to specify multiple blobs.
I'm using PowerShell and have not tried bash.
I found that this does not work:
linguist-js.ps1 --offline --json --analyze . --quick --ignoredFiles "*.txt *.xml"
but this does work:
linguist-js.ps1 --offline --json --analyze . --quick --ignoredFiles "*.txt --ignoredFiles *.xml"
I'd like to update the readme to reflect this.
You're not meant to pass it as a single string, it's meant to be a plain list:
- ❌
linguist -a . --ignoredFiles "*.txt *.json"
- ✅
linguist -a . --ignoredFiles *.txt *.json
But yes what you have suggested does also work. I'll update the readme to include both ways.
