[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.

• 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.
