Configuration not found when using the CLI

[sinedied]

I have a strange behavior with the CLI and configuration file. I have a .htmlhintrc file at the root of my project.

When I run htmlhint src, it finds the config file and correctly lint my html files, but when I run htmlhint src/**/*.html I have an error saying that the configuration is not found?

I have a similarly related issue.

I don't receive an error that the configuration wasn't found, but if I run htmlhint src/*.html src/**/*.html it doesn't use my .htmlhintrc file - it's using "something else", maybe the built-in defaults. If I run htmlhint src/*.html src/**/*.html --config .htmlhintrc it works as expected.

This was literally working last week. HTMLHint hasn't been updated, still using htmlhint 0.9.13, but I did do a fresh install of my project this week so dependencies have been updated. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the issue, so I'm continuing to specify --config.

Environment:

• Windows 8.1
• nvm-windows 1.1.1
• Node.js 6.9.4
• npm 3.10.10
• htmlhint 0.9.13

@mitorez You could do htmlhint ./src/**/*.html adding the ./ fixes the issue for me. Should we just add some code that prepends it to base in the getConfig function?

[mitorez]

@ianwalter Unfortunately pre-pending ./ didn't work for me. I ran htmlhint ./src/*.html ./src/**/*.html just now and it still failed to load the ~~.htmlhint~~ .htmlhintrc at the root of the project.

[ianwalter]

@mitorez Do you mean .htmlhintrc? Or did you name it incorrectly?

[mitorez]

@ianwalter You had me second-guessing myself there for a second :wink: That was a typo on my part. My configuration file is named correctly (.htmlhintrc) at the project root.

On windows platforms, .htmlhintrc is not found whatever I try.

htmlhint src or htmlhint ./src fails, but htmlhint src --config .htmlhintrc works.

[mitorez]

This has been working for me on Windows: htmlhint src/**/*.html --config .htmlhintrc

@mitorez yes using the --config option works, but it misses the point. You shouldn't have to add this option in the first place, that's the issue.

Not sure using a stale bot will help resolution ongoing bugs :/

This bot is annoying 😒

What's the status on this? I seem to be facing the same issue. It doesn't seem to work even with the config option. Is there some issue with the config file?
