Using Local Plugin throws "TypeError: normalizedName.indexOf is not a function"

Using the Local Plugin example from the docs: https://commitlint.js.org/#/reference-plugins?id=usage-example

Expected Behavior

Given I use the examples for Local Plugin from the documentation When I make a commit such as “some message” Then I should see a list of errors containing “Your subject should contain Hello World message”

Current Behavior

Given I use the examples for Local Plugin from the documentation When I make a commit such as “some message” Then commitlint throws an exception and exits with no error list of invalid commit details

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Possible Solution

This error is due to the function normalizePackageName in @commitlint/load/lib/utils which is expecting to be called with a string. When using a Local Plugin there is no package name, instead it is called with the plugin configuration object as specified in the commitlint.config.js.

This doesn’t appear to be the only area expecting a string, however.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

// commitlint.config.js
module.exports = {
  rules: {
    'hello-world-rule': [2, 'always']
  },
  plugins: [
    {
      rules: {
        'hello-world-rule': ({subject}) => {
          const HELLO_WORLD = 'Hello World';
          return [
            subject.includes(HELLO_WORLD),
            `Your subject should contain ${HELLO_WORLD} message`
          ];
        }
      }
    }
  ]
};

and using husky

{
  "hooks": {
    "commit-msg": "commitlint -E HUSKY_GIT_PARAMS"
  }
}

1. make a commit git commit -m"some message"

2. View the error:

.../node_modules/@commitlint/cli/lib/cli.js:131
  throw err;
  ^

TypeError: normalizedName.indexOf is not a function

Context

I wanted to write a plugin on my local within the context of an existing project before moving it to a separate package

Instead I will symlink a local repository and write the plugin there until I want to publish it.
