Why is Actions in .github folder not included in ./**/*.yaml

[andreas-lundgren-qlucore]

When doing npx prettier ./**/*.yaml --check, my github action workflows, as example ./github/workflows/run-unit-tests.yaml, are not included in the analysis.

If I explicitly calling npx prettier ./.github/**/*.yaml --check, they are included.

I have an empty .prettierignore (and .gitignore) file.

Is there a way I can obtain a list over all files that was analyzed?
Is there a specific syntax to include dot folders or dot directories) when running prettier?

👋 @andreas-lundgren-qlucore! This might be to do with glob unwrapping in bash. Try running

npx prettier "./**/*.yaml" --check
## or
npx prettier './**/*.yaml' --check
## instead of
npx prettier ./**/*.yaml --check

I don’t know bash well, but I guess that in the first two cases Prettier gets a glob and in the latter case it gets a list of files provided by bash.
