What did you do?

eslint **/*.js

What did you expect to happen?
ESLint would run fine as previous versions. No code was changed for this repo since the lat time I ran eslint, suddenly stopped working after ESLint update.

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

ESLint: 5.1.0.
No files matching the pattern "node_modules/complex.js" were found.
Please check for typing mistakes in the pattern.

This happened for complex.js, decimal.js and fraction.js. The correct path for the three of them is, for instance, node_modules/complex.js/complex.js. If I move the file to node_modules/complex.js eslint works fine but actually running the script breaks as it looks for node_modules/complex.js/complex.js.

Hi @gnobre, thanks for the issue.

Do you mean to lint in node_modules? That's not something we usually recommend.

I think due to the name of the complex.js package, your glob pattern is matching up to the folder name rather than the filename. That said, the glob pattern is probably being handled by your shell, not ESLint. Perhaps you could try quoting the glob pattern? Then ESLint would be handling the glob, and maybe our glob logic would pick up the necessary files.

[gnobre]

That was exactly it! I just had to add quotes to the pattern: eslint '**/*.js'

Working like a charm, thank you.
