[CY-2997] directory' with relatively path cause an error

[TheColdPot]

But when I try to add a directory, it says

docker: Error response from daemon: invalid volume specification: 'src/peb.js:src/peb.js': invalid mount config for type "volume": invalid mount path: 'src/peb.js' mount path must be absolute.

It seems to need an absolute path, but how to write this absolute path

Hi @TheColdPot

You can either write the absolute path to your folder or $PWD/src.
You can use the $PWD if:

1. You're using a UNIX based system, e.g., linux or MacOS
2. You're running the command from the folder where you have the src folder

This is happening because the CLI is trying to launch a Docker container and mapping your directory to the containers. However, this requires an absolute path on the host machine (yours), as you can check here or follow this GitHub thread here.

Let us know if this solution works for you. Meanwhile, I'll update our documentation with this information that the directory should be an absolute path

Update: Disregard this answer. It seems the CLI is already picking up the relative directory and passing an absolute one where needed. It seems the original problem was something else. Check the next comment for more details

Hi again @TheColdPot
I just noticed you're using the GitHub action in an open-source project 😅. This way is easier to understand what's going on.

In here it looks you're trying to pass a list of javascript files to be analyzed. But the directory parameter should be a directory only. So, you should pass the src only.

However, if your goal is to analyze javascript files only, you can run it for the whole repository (without specifying that parameter) and add a configuration file to your root folder like this. In this configuration file, you can specify which tools should run, and even if you want to exclude some files.

I hope this helps more than the previous answer.

The first answer helps me
but then it can not get .jshintrc

In this case, can I put .jshintrc in the src/ directory?

[TheColdPot]

Okay, so now this is resolved
But what if I want to put .jshintrc in the root directory?

[franciscodua]

Glad to hear it

But what if I want to put .jshintrc in the root directory?

I would say to evaluate your root directory (leave the directory value as default), instead of targeting the src directory. The tool is meant to target a repository's root and ignore files if you want to. And to ignore these files you can use the .codacy.yml configuration file (https://docs.codacy.com/repositories-configure/codacy-configuration-file/).

An example of .codacy.yml for your project could be

---
exclude_paths:
  - .github/**
  - docs/**
  - dist/**

This way you can have the .jshintrc in the root directory

This way you can have the .jshintrc in the root directory

Thank you so much for help!

If you think this problem can be completely resolved, you can Close the Issue, but if you want to keep it for a few days to avoid the same problem, keep it

Thanks for bearing with us.
I'll close this and point similar problems to this thread
