config

Problem

Since #458 glob expressions are allowed in linked and ignored packages. Trying to use changeset status with a glob expression in linked produces a ValidationError:

$ yarn changeset status
🦋  error ValidationError: Some errors occurred when validating the changesets config:

I am encountering this with backstage/backstage which has the linked configuration:

"linked": [["*"]],

Proposed solution

Could you take a look at this PR #504 ? Given what it is changing it will solve your problem as well, right?

[timbonicus]

#504 doesn't seem related, that just appears to limit the packages checked rather than changing anything about the config validation?

[Andarist]

Oh, okay - in a hurry I've assumed that your issue was related to something else and that this could have helped you.

From what I've noticed this call stack was not using the latest @changesets/config in your repository and this is a very probable cause that would result in this validation error. So I've prepared a quick PR for you here: backstage/backstage#3577

Thank you so much, that does the trick! Sorry for the noise, I should have checked the versions in yarn.lock 😅
