Hello @ssbarnea, thanks for the fix! Could you give a small example of a directory of YAML files that triggers the bug with pathspec 0.11.1?

I will try to add a test for it. I was hoping you will forget to ask me about a test ;)

The test might not be needed? It depends on what breaks. I'm curious about a simple example here, and we'll see whether a test is needed.

@adrienverge I added the test, it is needed, if you remove the code change the test will fail with exception. It was a good call to ask me to add a test.

I'm sorry to ask again, but please, could you provide a real-life example of a directory structure + yamllint conf that causes a failure? The added test does't explain it, not why YamlLintConfig.is_file_ignored() is called with argument None (which could be the real problem -- maybe #549 is a better fix).

That happens for anyone trying to call run_yamllint without passing the last optional argument, which defaults to None.

from yamllint.linter import run as run_yamllint
from yamllint.config import YamlLintConfig

run_yamllint("", YamlLintConfig("ignore: foo.txt"))

Sorry for having to mention it but, lack of typing support in yamllint combined with lack of testing for invalid arguments, can cause bugs like this.

The linter is expected to allow linting content that does not come from a specific file (stdin), but once you have a config file that has an ignore: section, it chokes when it ends having to check if the file without a name is excluded.

That is the kind of bug that can be prevented when using typing/mypy.

I hope this helps explaining it.

OK, so from my understanding this is not a bug with command-line tool yamllint. It's a bug that only happens when using the Python lib yamllint. Right?

The current version of this pull request still doesn't seem appropriate to me, checking that is_file_ignored() doesn't ignore a file None doesn't make sense. The right thing to do is make sure is_file_ignored() is only called with strings (file paths). I'll merge #549 for this purpose.

If yesterday's linter fix 15f8204 is a solution (it looks like it is) then can we expect a new PyPI release soon?

Hello @alanbchristie, I just released yamllint 1.30.0, which includes the fix 👍

Thanks - that's now fixed it!
