ESLint doesn't respect the .eslintignore and hangs on the last step

Tell us about your environment

• Node version: v10.18.0
• npm version: v6.13.4
• Local ESLint version: v6.8.0

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using?

babel-eslint and for ts, tsx files @typescript-eslint/parser

Please show your full configuration:

I created a small project to demonstrate the issue.

https://github.com/lipis/eslint-ts-bug

Just clone it, run yarn and then yarn test.

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue, as well as the command that you used to run ESLint.

When I run yarn test it also parses the lib directory, which is ignored inside the .eslintignore… why is that?

yarn test

# the actual command
# eslint --ignore-path .gitignore --ext .js,.ts,.tsx . --debug

What did you expect to happen?

To ignore the lib directory and finish the task.

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.

Doesn’t ignore the lib and hangs in the end.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug?

No 😦

ESLint only ignores /node_modules/* and /bower_components/* by default. Feel free to make an RFC if you’d like to propose a change!

Does ESLint ignore the files in .gitignore by default?

what I did to solve my problem is to add the ignore list inside the eslint.json file with the additional patterns that are not part of .gitignore

I think the idea would be for ESLint to ignore .gitignore by default as well.
