Bug Description

Describe the bug

With a project structure like this:

/client
    /src
        /ignore-me
            file.json
        file.ts
    cspell.config.js
cspell.config.js

Running a command like npx cspell client/src/ignore-me/file.json -v gives output similar to the following:

cspell;
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 18:01:45 GMT
Options:
    verbose:   Yes
    config:    default
    exclude:   node_modules/**
    files:     client/src/ignore-me/file.json
    wordsOnly: No
    unique:    No

Config Files Found:
    D:\Programming\Projects\x\front-end\cspell.config.js

Exclusion Globs:
    Glob: package-lock.json from D:\Programming\Projects\x\front-end\cspell.config.js
    Glob: node_modules/** from command line

Checking: D:\Programming\Projects\x\front-end\client\src\ignore-me\file.json, File type: auto, Language: default
Checked: D:\Programming\Projects\x\front-end\client\src\ignore-me\file.json, File type: json, Language: en-GB ... Issues: 1 0.587S
Config file Used: d:\Programming\Projects\x\front-end\client\cspell.config.js
Dictionaries Used: backwards-compatibility, typescript, aws, companies, cryptocurrencies, en-gb, filetypes, softwareTerms, node, npm

Config file Used is not listed under Config Files Found, and the ignorePaths from the “used config file” (client\cspell.config.js) are not included under Exclusion Globs. The file is not ignored as expected.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a project structure similar to that described above.
2. Run npx cspell from the root directory referencing a file under the client directory that should be ignored.
3. Observe that the file is not ignored, as expected.

Expected behavior

The config file under the client directory should be used, which includes the ignore-me directory under ignorePaths.
