Nested file scan help

I am wonder if this is a feature or a bug.

I want to do spelling recursively in my project. But it doesn’t seem like cspell is looking through the files recursively throughout the nested folders.

In the end I had to set up something like this:

My npm script:

"spell": "cspell **/*.ts |  cspell src/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/**/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/**/**/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/**/**/**/**/*.ts"

When I run

npm run spell

I get:

> cspell **/*.ts |  cspell src/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/**/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/**/**/**/*.ts | cspell src/app/**/**/**/**/**/*.ts

CSpell: Files checked: 4, Issues found: 0 in 0 files
CSpell: Files checked: 9, Issues found: 0 in 0 files
CSpell: Files checked: 22, Issues found: 40 in 2 files
CSpell: Files checked: 62, Issues found: 1 in 1 files
CSpell: Files checked: 88, Issues found: 0 in 0 files
CSpell: Files checked: 165, Issues found: 1 in 1 files
/Users/me/repositories/repo/project/src/app/my-component/my.component.ts:7:43 - Unknown word (dont)

Is there a simpler and more reliable way to scan through all my files in my project?

Hey, @dereklin, I don’t know if is too late to help you, but I had this same problem for a moment. After a time, I figured out how to solve it.

I created a “.cspell.json” file, and inside the config object I placed a “files” property with the value being “**/*”. It will scan all your files, and if you want to ignore some of them, you can specify it inside “ignorePaths” property.

This is how my file looked:

{
  "language": "en",
  "minWordLength": 2,
  "files": ["**/*"],
  "ignorePaths": [
    "*.lock",
    "*.json",
    "dist"
  ]
}
