Option to suppress `Cannot process specified file: it’s ignored` error
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Subject of the feature
I would like to be able to ignore or suppress the Cannot process specified file: it’s ignored
error because I want to run AlexJS with pre-commit (https://pre-commit.com).
I'm using this hook: https://github.com/mfisher87/alexjs-pre-commit-mirror
Problem
The way pre-commit automates running programs is by passing changed files to that program. If, for example, I ignore *.csv
in .alexignore
, then run pre-commit after changing foo.csv
, pre-commit will call alex foo.csv
, and AlexJS will complain and cause the check to fail even though everything is fine:
data/acadia.csv
1:1 error Cannot process specified file: it’s ignored
Expected behaviour
I'd like to pass an arg, for example --suppress-ignored-file-error
, to convert this error to a warning, or to suppress it entirely.
Alternatives
There’s a silentlyIgnore
option for the engine
, which is used in the CLI.
A PR adding a --silently-ignore
flag that turns that on is welcome!
Thanks for that useful context! I'll try and make some time, but I do have a long backlog right now. If anyone else is looking for this feature, don't wait on me. I'll post here when I am able to get started.
