Bug: breaking API change in one of commitlint cli's dependencies: read-pkg

I notice that commitlint cli in versions 8.3.0 and onwards, you’re using read-pkg version 5.2.0. Please be aware that there is a significant API change in that module starting at version 4.0.0. The read-pkg API was changed to accept an options objection where one of it’s keys, cwd, specifies the directory of the package.json to read. If not specified, it will default to the current directory that commitlint is run from. This is buggy since I believe you actually want to read the package.json where commitlint is installed.

Expected Behavior

commitlint >= 8.3.0 reads package.json from install area

Current Behavior

commitlint >= 8.3.0 reads package.json from current workding directory:

cd $HOME
[hvo@hvo-mac ~]$ npx commitlint
/Users/hvo/.nvm/versions/node/v10.18.0/lib/node_modules/commitlint/node_modules/@commitlint/cli
ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/hvo/package.json'

Affected packages

• [ x ] cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Possible Solution

downgrade read-pkg to 3.0.0 update the CLI to correctly use the new read-pkg API

Terrific job @byCedric. Next coffee is on me.

@byCedric Don’t mention it. You’ve been preventing worse things from happening for several months for us now. So the balance is still uneven.
