Suggestion: Ignore pattern directly instead of pointing to a file?
ppati000 opened this issue · comments
The --ignore flag does not take a glob pattern, but a path to a file that contains the ignored patterns. This level of indirection is not always needed. For example, I'd love to have a simple command that runs all *.test.ts files except for files in a specific directory (e.g., a directory that contains end-to-end tests).
@ljharb what do you think about adding an --ignorePattern or similar option that takes a glob pattern? Would be willing to raise a PR :)
That does seem reasonable - basically, shorthand for a one-line ignore file.
Note, that we'd have to be very very explicit about how --ignore and --ignorePattern worked together - either they're mutually exclusive, or ignorePattern is concatenated to --ignore's contents, or the reverse.
