[Bug]: `selene` diagnostics not excluding files from `selene.toml` config

[AlejandroSuero]

FAQ

• I have checked the FAQ and it didn't resolve my problem.

Issues

• I have checked existing issues and there are no issues with the same problem.

Neovim Version

NVIM v0.9.5 Build type: RelWithDebInfo LuaJIT 2.1.1692716794

Dev Version?

• I am using a stable Neovim release version, or if I am using a dev version of Neovim I have confirmed that my issue is reproducible on a stable version.

Operating System

MacOS 14.4.1

Minimal Config

-- this template is borrowed from nvim-lspconfig
local on_windows = vim.loop.os_uname().version:match("Windows")

local function join_paths(...)
  local path_sep = on_windows and "\\" or "/"
  local result = table.concat({ ... }, path_sep)
  return result
end

vim.g.loaded_remote_plugins = ""
vim.cmd([[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]])

local temp_dir = vim.loop.os_getenv("TEMP") or "/tmp"

vim.cmd("set packpath=" .. join_paths(temp_dir, "nvim", "site"))

local package_root = join_paths(temp_dir, "nvim", "site", "pack")
local install_path = join_paths(package_root, "packer", "start", "packer.nvim")
local compile_path = join_paths(install_path, "plugin", "packer_compiled.lua")

local null_ls_config = function()
  local null_ls = require("null-ls")
  local null_ls_utils = require("null-ls.utils")

  local diagnostics = null_ls.builtins.diagnostics
  -- add only what you need to reproduce your issue
  null_ls.setup({
    root_dir = null_ls_utils.root_pattern("selene.toml"),

    sources = {
      diagnostics.selene.with({
        condition = function(utils)
          return utils.root_has_file({ "selene.toml" })
        end,
      }),
    },
    debug = true,
  })
end

local function load_plugins()
  -- only add other plugins if they are necessary to reproduce the issue
  require("packer").startup({
    {
      "wbthomason/packer.nvim",
      {
        "nvimtools/none-ls.nvim",
        requires = { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim" },
        config = null_ls_config,
      },
    },
    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = compile_path,
    },
  })
end

if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim", install_path })
  load_plugins()
  require("packer").sync()
else
  load_plugins()
  require("packer").sync()
end

Steps to Reproduce

In a testing enviroment (a directory for a lua project), have the following files.

• Create a selene.toml file with the following config:

std="neovim"

exclude = ["*_spec.lua", ".luacheckrc"]

[rules]
global_usage = "allow"
multiple_statements = "allow"
incorrect_standard_library_use = "allow"
mixed_table = "allow"
unused_variable = "warn"

• Create a neovim.yml file with the following config:

---
base: lua51

globals:
  vim:
    any: true
  assert:
    args:
      - type: bool
      - type: string
        required: false
  after_each:
    args:
      - type: function
  before_each:
    args:
      - type: function
  describe:
    args:
      - type: string
      - type: function
  it:
    args:
      - type: string
      - type: function

• Create a .luacheckrc file with the following config:

-- Rerun tests only if their modification time changed.
cache = true

ignore = {
  "122", -- Setting a read-only field of a global variable.
  "212", -- Unused argument, In the case of callback function, _arg_name is easier to understand than _, so this option is set to off.
  "631", -- max_line_length, vscode pkg URL is too long
}

-- Global objects defined by the C code
read_globals = {
  "vim",
}

include_files = { "lua", "tests" }
exclude_files = { ".luacheckrc", "tests/**/*_spec.lua" }

-- vim: ft=lua tw=80

• Open NeoVim using nvim --clean -u minimal_init.lua and navigate to :e .luacheckrc

Reproducibility Check

• I confirm that my minimal config is based on the minimal_init.lua template and that my issue is reproducible by running nvim --clean -u minimal_init.lua and following the steps above.

Expected Behavior

To not display any diagnostics from selene inside excluded files.

Actual Behavior

Displaying diagnostics from selene inside excluded files.

Requirements

• I have read and followed the instructions above and understand that my issue will be closed if I did not provide the required information.

[Zeioth]

@AlejandroSuero This issue has nothing to do with none-ls. You are not using selene exclude correctly (refer to the docs). Also Mixing two linters is by general rule a bad idea.

[AlejandroSuero]

@Zeioth according to the documentation, in the excluding files section this is how it is supposed to work.

I'm not planning on mixing them (in the minimal I only use one), I am trying to support selene linting for people that don't use luacheck inside a project but want to have the linting diagnostics and have selene already installed, thats all.

---

• selene . and selene .luacheckrc excluding the files from command-line:

• selene --no-exclude .luacheckrc not excluding the files from command-line:

---

• Diagnostics using none-ls not excluding the files:

With my own config

With the minimal config

@AlejandroSuero I'm looking at this now. In the future, please make your issue replications way more concise.

All you have to do is create any file, ignore it in the selene.toml, and see selene erroneously add diagnostics. We don't need a billion screenshots xd

Anyways, this is peculiar. Thanks for the report!

kmhofmann/selene#15

Asked here- will wait for the response

[AlejandroSuero]

@barrett-ruth thanks for looking into it. I think the kmhofmann is not the right selene, at least it's last update was 6 years ago, https://github.com/Kampfkarren/selene I think this is the most recent one.

Also sorry for all the images, was trying to not left nothing out in my reply.

[barrett-ruth]

Wtf... moved the issue over there. Sorry!
