Look for `.grit` patterns anywhere when running `grit patterns test`

[morgante]

We don't want to require them to be at the root.

Importantly, this is a hard requirement if we want to piggyback on distribution from Poetry or PyPi. Trying to include .grit file from a parent dir into a subpackage yields this error:

'/Users/morgante/code/grit/demos/langchain/.grit/grit.yaml' is not in the subpath of '/Users/morgante/code/grit/demos/langchain/libs/cli' OR one path is relative and the other is absolute.

I have tried the following commands, expecting them to recognise my desire to have patterns defined outside of .grit/patterns. But none seem to work.

Set up:

1. Create a new pattern called test_pattern.md in a directory called ./grittest at the root of my repository.

Here are the commands I've tried and their error messages:

% grit apply test_pattern --dry-run --grit-dir=./grittest test.ts
ERROR (code: 200) - pattern definition not found: test_pattern. Try running grit init.

% grit apply test_pattern.md --dry-run --grit-dir=./grittest test.ts
ERROR (code: 200) - pattern definition not found: test_pattern.md. Try running grit init.

% grit --grit-dir=./grittest apply test_pattern --dry-run test.ts
ERROR (code: 200) - pattern definition not found: test_pattern. Try running grit init.

% grit patterns test --grit-dir=./grittest
Error: No testable patterns found. To test a pattern, make sure it is defined in .grit/grit.yaml or a .md file in your .grit/patterns directory.

% grit --grit-dir=./grittest patterns test 
Error: No testable patterns found. To test a pattern, make sure it is defined in .grit/grit.yaml or a .md file in your .grit/patterns directory.

From the help commands I would have expected this to work.

grit patterns test --help
Test patterns against expected output

Usage: grit patterns test [OPTIONS]

What's your reason for not wanting to use the .grit/patterns directory?

[mtokar-atlassian]

In a large repository, where we may want to co-locate codemods within certain packages or sub-modules of the repository. Alternatively the codemods may be built and packaged in a separate repository, so that they may be applied to many repositories instead of just one.

[morgante]

Just to be clear, grit apply can work with patterns anywhere.

grit apply /path/to/pattern.grit test.ts
