Ilya Basin created RAT-246:
------------------------------
Summary: .gitignore in parent dir not honored
Key: RAT-246
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-246
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.12, 0.13
Reporter: Ilya Basin
Due to my Eclipse plugins set, when I import a maven project, a .checkstyle
file is generated there. As I learned later, RAT 0.13-SNAPSHOT ignores
.checkstyle files, so I repeated my tests with a different filename.
If a pattern is explicitly mentioned in the .gitignore in the project folder,
RAT does not complain. However, if the pattern is only mentioned in a parent
.gitignore, the RAT check fails.
{code:java}
[il@reallin wagon-scm]$ touch .someignoredfile
[il@reallin wagon-scm]$ echo .someignoredfile >>../../.gitignore
[il@reallin wagon-scm]$ git add .someignoredfile
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
wagon-providers/wagon-scm/.someignoredfile
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added
[il@reallin wagon-scm]$ mvn apache-rat:check
