pre-commit flag --files is not respected

[piankris]

I have a yamllint config file and I use it together in the pre-commit hook. What I'm trying to achieve is to run the hook only on specified files (in my case, files changed in a pull request) but the hook ignores the --files flag and instead runs on all yaml files.

My yamllint config:

---
yaml-files:
    - '*.yaml'
    - '*.yml'
    - .yamllint

ignore: |
    d2b_dbt/
    .venv/

rules:
    braces:
        level: warning
        min-spaces-inside: 0
        max-spaces-inside: 0
        min-spaces-inside-empty: 1
        max-spaces-inside-empty: 5
    brackets:

    new-line-at-end-of-file: disable
    new-lines:

The command I run:

 pre-commit run yamllint --files .github/linters/.yaml-lint.yml .github/workflows/main.yml .pre-commit-config.yaml d2b_dbt/.sqlfluff

The output:

Check yaml files with yamllint...........................................Failed

- exit code: 2

Hello,

I'm not sure I fully understand your problem, but your question seems related to pre-commit and it --files option. I suggest using a community-powered Q&A service, like Stack Overflow for topics like this. This issue tracker is only meant for bugs regarding yamllint.

Thank you!
