Files without file extension are not included for linting

[tymonx]

Subject of the issue

Files without file extension are not included for linting. Example: README.

Your environment

• OS: podman
• Packages: podman run -it --rm registry.gitlab.com/pipeline-components/alex:0.21.9 --version

11.0.0

• Env: podman run -it --rm registry.gitlab.com/pipeline-components/alex:0.21.9 env

NODE_VERSION=19.8.1
YARN_VERSION=1.22.19

Steps to reproduce

1. Create file without file extension:

echo "pop" > README

2. Run alex:

podman run -it --rm --volume "$(pwd):/alex:ro,z" --workdir "/alex" registry.gitlab.com/pipeline-components/alex:0.21.9 --why .

Expected behaviour

It should return status code 1 and print:

README
  1:1-1:4  warning  `pop` may be insensitive, use `parent` instead  dad-mom  retext-equality

⚠ 1 warning

Actual behaviour

It returns status code 0 (success) without printing anything to standard output or error output.

Workaround

Explicitly provide files without file extension to alex:

podman run -it --rm --volume "$(pwd):/alex:ro,z" --workdir "/alex" registry.gitlab.com/pipeline-components/alex:0.21.9 --why README

But this will not work when .alexignore is defined:

echo "README" > .alexignore

It returns status code 1 and prints:

README
  1:1  error  Cannot process specified file: it’s ignored

✖ 1 error

Hi!

It is intentional that files without extensions, which could include any code, or be for example binary files, are not included by default.

If you want to include certain files, pass them: alex whatever
