What happened?

biome lint --config-path .\biome.jsonc panics, where otherwise, biome lint completes correctly.

❯ biome lint --config-path .\biome.jsonc
Biome encountered an unexpected error

This is a bug in Biome, not an error in your code, and we would appreciate it if you could report it to https://github.com/biomejs/biome/issues/ along with the following information to help us fixing the issue:

Source Location: C:\Users\runneradmin\.cargo\registry\src\index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f\ignore-0.4.21\src\gitignore.rs:229:9
Thread Name: biome::worker_0
Message: path is expected to be under the root

Expected result

It should not panic.

@ematipico Are you able to reproduce this bug?

[ematipico]

The error comes from the ignore crate, so it's possible we are passing an incorrect path. However, we need a reproduction. This is an issue generated by the VCS integration

[rivy]

@ematipico , why are you closing this issue? It's a fundamental problem when running the application.
😕

[ematipico]

We requested a reproduction, but that was never provided. After so much inactivity, we close the issue.

[rivy]

I don’t understand.
A reproduction was included in my initial post about the issue. It includes the simple WinOS command line which prompts the bug and the output (including the request to post it here to help you fix the issue).

Could you share the .gitignore in the directory where you executed Biome? Without it, I think we are not able to reproduce the error.

@Conaclos , happy to do so, and thanks for looking at this issue.

Any use of --config-path causes the error (eg, biome lint --config-path .biome.lenient.jsonc, ...).

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help track down the cause.

[rivy]

@Conaclos , notably:

1 - an empty or missing .gitignore avoids the error
2 - a .gitignore with only comments avoids the error
3 - a .gitignore with any actual "ignore" (non-commentary) content => ERROR

I hope that's helpful.

[Conaclos]

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue.

Here is my attempt:

❯ git init

❯ npm init --yes

❯ npm i -D @biomejs/biome

❯ tree 
├── biome.jsonc
├── package.json
├── src
│   └── index.js

❯ cat biome.jsonc
{
  "vcs": {
    "enabled": true,
    "clientKind": "git",
    "useIgnoreFile": true
  }
}

❯ npx biome lint --config-path ./biome.jsonc 
Checked 3 files in 909µs. No fixes applied.

Note: I am on Linux.

@Conaclos ,

Yes, it looks like a WinOS-specific problem.
Using WSL with the exact same project files of my prior example, there is no error.

Here's a minimal reproduction (file repo at https://github.com/rivy-fix/biome-config-bug).

[ematipico]

Thank you. That's what I meant with providing a reproduction. Providing only the commands isn't enough.

[rivy]

Sorry, your prior message seemed internal, not directed at me for additional information.
I'm happy to help narrow down the issue. Just ask if you need anything else.

[rivy]

Ping @ematipico , any progress on this?
It's still an issue as of v1.9.4.
Thanks for any updates.
