Arnout Engelen created RAT-362:
----------------------------------
Summary: plugin: .gitignore not correctly applied
Key: RAT-362
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-362
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Arnout Engelen
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).
