Philipp Ottlinger resolved RAT-362.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
[~engelen] would you mind giving feedback if the current 0.17-SNAPSHOT fixes
the issue you've experienced. In case you do not have RAT available locally it
may make sense to at least wait 24h until all SNAPSHOTs (built on ASF infra)
provide the most current version of RAT. Thanks

> Key: RAT-362
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-362
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.16.1
> Reporter: Arnout Engelen
> Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.17
>
>
> When I have a Maven project checked out in the directory '/foo', and I have a
> file called 'foo.md' in the root of that project, ignoring it by putting a
> '/foo.md' entry in the .gitignore file does not work.
> It is unclear whether this is an issue in the plugin or in de codeowners
> gitignore-reader dependency: the plugin is passing relative filenames (i.e.
> 'foo.md') to GitIgnoreFileSet#isIgnoredFile , but the API docs on that method
> don't make it too clear whether that is intended to accept absolute
> filenames, relative filename, or both.
> In this scenario, it seems to take the relative filename 'foo.md' and remove
> the project base directory '/foo' from it, leaving '/.md' (which then of
> course does not match the 'foo.md' from the .gitignore).
