"subject-empty" is over-flagged

Expected Behavior

Lint a comment message like “try out commitlint.” Two errors are flagged:

Error: You have commit messages with errors

⧗   input: try out commitlint.
✖   subject may not be empty [subject-empty]
✖   type may not be empty [type-empty]

✖   found 2 problems, 0 warnings
ⓘ   Get help: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/#what-is-commitlint

The “subject-empty” error seems silly: the commit message has a subject, it’s “try out commitlint.” In my opinion, “subject-empty” should only be raised for messages like “fix:”, with a type and nothing else.

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

This also causes issues when trying to disable the type-empty rule. subject-empty will fail if the : delimiter is not provided.
