Unrecognized words (1)

Previously acknowledged words that are now absent

attr DMPAs dsc fabricbot remoting Syncy timezone wfopen :arrow_right:

Some files were automatically ignored

These sample patterns would exclude them:

^\Qsrc/AppInstallerCLIE2ETests/TestData/Configuration/Empty.yml\E$

You should consider adding them to:

.github/actions/spelling/excludes.txt

File matching is via Perl regular expressions.

To check these files, more of their words need to be in the dictionary than not. You can use patterns.txt to exclude portions, add items to the dictionary (e.g. by adding them to allow.txt), or fix typos.

To accept :heavy_check_mark: these unrecognized words as correct and remove the previously acknowledged and now absent words, run the following commands

... in a clone of the [email protected]:RDMacLachlan/winget-cli.git repository on the user/romaclac/Spec/WinGet-export-and-import-settings branch (:information_source: how do I use this?):

curl -s -S -L 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/v0.0.21/apply.pl' |
perl - 'https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/actions/runs/6328774832/attempts/1'

Available :books: dictionaries could cover words not in the :blue_book: dictionary

This includes both expected items (556) from .github/actions/spelling/expect.txt and unrecognized words (1)

Dictionary	Entries	Covers
cspell:cpp/src/cpp.txt	30216	30
cspell:win32/src/win32.txt	53509	25
cspell:python/src/python/python-lib.txt	3873	6
cspell:php/php.txt	2597	5
cspell:python/src/common/extra.txt	741	4
cspell:java/java.txt	7642	4
cspell:python/src/python/python.txt	453	3
cspell:npm/npm.txt	288	2
cspell:golang/go.txt	3412	2
cspell:dotnet/dotnet.txt	2263	2

Consider adding them using (in .github/workflows/spelling3.yml):

      with:
        extra_dictionaries:
          cspell:cpp/src/cpp.txt
          cspell:win32/src/win32.txt
          cspell:python/src/python/python-lib.txt
          cspell:php/php.txt
          cspell:python/src/common/extra.txt
          cspell:java/java.txt
          cspell:python/src/python/python.txt
          cspell:npm/npm.txt
          cspell:golang/go.txt
          cspell:dotnet/dotnet.txt

To stop checking additional dictionaries, add:

      with:
        check_extra_dictionaries: ''

If the flagged items are :exploding_head: false positives

If items relate to a ...

• binary file (or some other file you wouldn't want to check at all).

  Please add a file path to the excludes.txt file matching the containing file.

  File paths are Perl 5 Regular Expressions - you can test yours before committing to verify it will match your files.

  ^ refers to the file's path from the root of the repository, so ^README\.md$ would exclude README.md (on whichever branch you're using).

• well-formed pattern.

  If you can write a pattern that would match it, try adding it to the patterns.txt file.

  Patterns are Perl 5 Regular Expressions - you can test yours before committing to verify it will match your lines.

  Note that patterns can't match multiline strings.

Speaking with Demitrius, it appears that the WinGet DSC will solve the issue I was attempting to solve with a new sub-command..
