Recursive glob patterns

[chopfitzroy]

Running 0.18.1 on Ubuntu 16.10 with Node v7.7.1.

I have the following command: xo resources/**/*.js.

I am trying to use it on the following structure:

├── admin
│   ├── assets
│       ├── main.js
└── webpack
    ├── config.js

Now that reports all linting failues in config.js but not main.js if I change that command to: xo resources/**/**/*.js. it now works but obviously I don't want to have to add a /** everytime I go one directory deeper.

I have looked at globby#24 and cpy#10 but neither seemed to really address the issue.

Is this by intentition or is this a bug?

In an ideal world xo resources/**/*.js would traverse all folders underneath resources recursively.

Cheers.

What happens when you use xo 'resources/**/*.js' (in single quotes)?

Also, how are you running XO?

Hey @Qix- that seems to have fixed it.

I am running as an npm script: "lint:scripts": "xo 'resources/**/*.js'",.

Cheers.

Yep - without the single quotes, it's your shell trying to expand the double star, not XO. To get it to work otherwise, you'd need shopt -s globstar in your .bash_profile. But the single quotes is a better solution since it works for everyone. :)
