Filtering files with paths outside of gulp folder not possible?

hi,
it seems that currently gulp-filter does not support filtering files with paths outside of the folder the gulp.task is running in.
if the current behavior is desired an options to allow other paths as well would be nice (as done by del package for example).
thanks & regards,
Marcel

We have a test for this that proves it should work:

gulp-filter/test.js

Line 164 in b9fb0bc

it('should filter relative paths that leave current directory tree', cb => {

But happy to take another look if you submit a failing test.

thanks a lot for the quick response. I'm going to have a look at your tests.

I am not sure if this is relevant: I am doing this in a multi-root workspace in VS Code and I am referencing folders in another root folder ("./../otherRoot/test")
But for gulp-filter these are all probably just path strings(?)

seems you can do
(1) gulp.src("A/B/**/*.*").pipe(filter("A/B/**/*.xx")

but you can't do
(2) gup.src("../A/B/**/*.*").pipe(filter("../A/B/**/*.xx")
it just returns 0 files. no error message

case (2) only works if ".." is replaced with "**" within the filter
