fix(fileSearch): honor ancestor .ignore and .repomixignore files (#1872) - #1909
wahajahmed010 wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…adashy#1872) globby's ignoreFiles option only scans the target directory tree, not its ancestors. That made ancestor .ignore and .repomixignore files invisible when repomix was pointed at a subdirectory: `repomix packages/foo` would pack files the project's root .repomixignore was supposed to keep out, even though the same pattern was honored when running from the repo root. Add collectAncestorIgnoreFilePatterns, which walks up from rootDir (bounded by the git repo boundary so we don't leak rules from an unrelated parent repo) and feeds patterns from ancestor .ignore / .repomixignore files to globby's ignore option. .gitignore is excluded because globby already walks parents for it via the gitignore option. Patterns are translated with gitignore semantics: unrooted patterns ('secret.txt') apply at any depth below the ancestor's directory, which is the same set of files as 'at any depth below rootDir', so they're re-emitted as 'STAR-STAR/<pattern>'. Rooted and relative patterns target files outside rootDir's subtree and are skipped. Closes yamadashy#1872

Include absoluteRoot in the Git-root search.
The search for .git starts at path.dirname(absoluteRoot). When rootDir is the repository root, this search does not see rootDir/.git. This is the default repomix run.
In that case, gitRoot stays undefined unless an outer repository exists. The second loop then reads .ignore and .repomixignore from every directory up to the filesystem root. For example, a ripgrep ~/.ignore or /home/.repomixignore is rebased to **/<pattern> and silently removes files from the pack.
This breaks the documented rule: "stop at the git repo boundary." It also changes behavior for users who never target a subdirectory.
🐛 Proposed fix
- let cursor = path.dirname(absoluteRoot);
+ let cursor = absoluteRoot;
while (true) {
const gitPath = path.join(cursor, '.git');
@@
- const walkRoot = gitRoot ? path.dirname(gitRoot) : path.dirname(path.parse(absoluteRoot).root);
+ if (gitRoot === absoluteRoot) {
+ return [];
+ }
+ const walkRoot = gitRoot ? path.dirname(gitRoot) : path.dirname(path.parse(absoluteRoot).root);Add a test in which rootDir contains .git. The test must confirm that no ancestor patterns are collected.

fast-glob 3.3.3 source ignore option negative pattern !ignore behavior
💡 Result:
In **fast-glob 3.3.3**, `ignore` entries are treated as exclusions—not as a second list of include/exclude patterns. The source combines `ignore` with negative patterns from the main `patterns` argument, then converts them into negative patterns for matching. So putting `!something` in `ignore` does **not** mean “re-include `something`”; it gets turned into the opposite exclusion pattern. ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob/3.3.3/src/managers/tasks.ts))
Use a positive pattern in `ignore`, e.g. `{ ignore: ['**/skip/**'] }`. To express exceptions/re-inclusion, put negative patterns in the main `patterns` argument instead; fast-glob applies negatives before positives, regardless of order. ([github.com](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob?utm_source=openai))
For excluding a directory from traversal, the docs distinguish `!**/second` / `!**/second/**` in `patterns` from `!**/second/**/*`, which can still read the directory. ([github.com](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob?utm_source=openai))

fast-glob 3.3.3 GitHub source ignore option micromatch negative patterns
💡 Result:
In **fast-glob 3.3.3**, `ignore` takes an array of ordinary glob patterns (without a leading `!`) and is an alternative to negative patterns in the main pattern list. The 3.3.3 source combines `settings.ignore` with negatives from the input, then converts them into exclusion patterns. ([github.com](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob/blob/3.3.3/src/managers/tasks.ts))
```js
fg.glob('**/*.js', {
ignore: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/*.test.js']
});
// Equivalent exclusion style:
fg.glob(['**/*.js', '!**/node_modules/**', '!**/*.test.js']);
```
**Directory traversal matters:** to prevent walking a directory, exclude the directory itself (`'**/node_modules'`) or its subtree (`'**/node_modules/**'`). A pattern like `'**/node_modules/**/*'` can leave the directory traversed while filtering its entries. ([github.com](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob))
The project documents `micromatch` as its pattern-matching library. In 3.3.3, negative patterns also match hidden paths when excluding; that behavior was specifically fixed in this release. ([github.com](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob))

Do not pass negated ancestor patterns to ignore.
fast-glob converts ignore entries into negative task patterns. Therefore, !keep.txt becomes an exclusion of keep.txt, not a re-inclusion rule. It does not exclude unrelated files, but it cannot re-include keep.txt after another exclusion. Drop negated ancestor patterns or document ancestor negation as unsupported.

Rebase in-subtree ancestor rules without removing rootedness.
When rootDir is /parent/sub, the ancestor rule sub/secret.txt or /sub/secret.txt from /parent/.ignore targets /parent/sub/secret.txt. The current translation discards both rules, so secret.txt can enter the pack.
Use the ancestor directory as translation context. Do not remove leading / before checking scope. The anchored rule /outside.txt must remain outside /parent/sub and must stay skipped. A partial implementation diff is omitted because it could lose this distinction.

Summary
When repomix is pointed at a subdirectory, ignore rules from ancestor
.ignoreand.repomixignorefiles were silently dropped. Only ancestor.gitignorewas honored, because globby handles that itself via thegitignoreoption.Concretely:
repomix packages/fooin a monorepo would pack files that the project's root.repomixignoreexists to keep out, even though the same pattern was honored when running from the repo root.Fix
Added
collectAncestorIgnoreFilePatternsinsrc/core/file/fileSearch.tsthat walks up fromrootDir(bounded by the git repo boundary so we don't leak rules from an unrelated parent repo) and feeds ancestor.ignore/.repomixignorepatterns to globby'signoreoption..gitignoreis excluded -- globby already handles its ancestor walk.Pattern translation uses gitignore semantics:
secret.txt) apply at any depth below the ancestor's directory. SincerootDiris a descendant of that directory, the same set of files matches at any depth belowrootDir, so they're re-emitted as**/secret.txt./secret.txt) and relative (src/secret.txt) patterns target files outsiderootDir's subtree, so they're skipped.The walk stops at the git repo boundary (one level above it) to match globby's own behavior for
.gitignore, and at the filesystem root otherwise.Reproduction
