Problem

vp run check:changed fails its lint step when every changed code file is one that lint ignores. Examples are a vpr sync:repos branch (only .repos/**), a regenerated GraphQL operations file (**/*.graphql.ts), or a regenerated routeTree.gen.ts. The lint step passes those files to oxlint, oxlint filters all of them out, then prints No files found to lint. Please check your paths and ignore patterns. and exits 1. The summary shows FAIL lint even though there was nothing to lint.

Change

The lint step now passes --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern. The format step on the line above already passes it, and so does the staged pre-commit hook in vite.config.ts (vp lint --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern). #8468 made the same fix for vp fmt. Real lint errors still fail: with the flag, a lint error in a file that is not ignored, passed together with an ignored file, still exits 1.

Scope and approval

Very small, focused fix for an obvious bug, so there is no prior issue. It adds one flag that the sibling step and the pre-commit hook already use, and changes nothing else about which files get linted. Overlap search: #29573 (open) adds .astro to the code pattern in the same file, which is a separate problem. Searching for check:changed lint and no-error-on-unmatched-pattern found no other open PR for this.

Verification

  • On main, vp lint .repos/effect-smol/packages/effect/src/Arbitrary.ts apps/server/src/device/ExpoApi.graphql.ts exits 1 with No files found to lint.. With --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern it exits 0.
  • Extended the existing checks changed source paths through the Windows launcher assertion in scripts/check-changed.test.ts. On main it fails with - "--no-error-on-unmatched-pattern" missing from the lint args.
  • vp test run scripts/check-changed.test.ts from the repo root: 14 passed.
  • CI=true vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip 1/2 and 2/2, typecheck, and test all pass.
  • Not checked: I did not run a full check:changed end to end on a branch that changes only .repos. The lint step's behavior on such a branch was checked directly with oxlint, as above.

Walkthrough

The lint step now passes --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern when changed code files exist. The test expectation includes the option.

Changes: Changed-file lint

Layer / File(s)Summary
Add the lint option and update its test
scripts/check-changed.ts, scripts/check-changed.test.ts
The conditional lint invocation adds --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern. The test expects the option between lint and the changed source path.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge, zacharon

Merge Risk: External image Low · up to 881db

The fix is mergeable, but a focused ignored-file test should be added to prevent regression of the workflow this PR addresses.

Explanation

The title names the change: check:changed no longer fails when every changed file is ignored by lint. The raw summary shows the lint step now passes --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern, which matches the title. The title is a conventional commit, and the change is one flag in scripts/check-changed.ts.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification are all present and filled in. The Problem section explains the failure and the expected behavior. The Change section explains the flag and why it is safe. The Scope section gives an explicit reason for no prior issue: a very small, focused fix of an obvious bug, which the template allows. The Verification section lists focused commands with observed results and states what was not checked. The template's agent-attribution line is present, as the author's model and harness line.

Cover the all-ignored lint path.

This test changes a normal tracked TypeScript file. The fake Vite Plus CLI only records arguments and exits successfully, so it does not model oxlint ignoring every changed file. A regression that still fails for an all-ignored change can therefore pass this test. Add a focused ignored-only case whose lint fixture reproduces the unmatched-file behavior and asserts that check:changed exits successfully.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified head 881db05d0ae36356b7aaab098de21f1490ee2d71 on linux, using the real dev web app, repository playwright, and google chrome. i created projects and threads through the app and used real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns.

  • reproduced on github/main (30084f0018c5): a codex edit touching only .repos/effect-smol/packages/effect/src/Arbitrary.ts made check:changed HEAD exit 1 with FAIL lint and "No files found to lint."
  • repeated the same edit on this head. the codex turn ran check:changed HEAD through blacksmith: exit 0, including the lint step with zero eligible files.
  • neighboring behavior: ignored plus normal source passed lint; the same invocation with a temporary eslint/no-empty-pattern error exited 1. restored all temporary edits.
  • check:changed against the pr base passed format, lint, both knip passes, affected typecheck, and all 14 existing check-changed tests through blacksmith.

no fix or source change was needed. the recording shows the successful command result and its real turn checkpoint.

ignored-only check passes and its checkpoint opens in the running app

Not verified

native desktop, ios/android, macos, and actual windows execution were not exercised on this linux vm. the existing windows-launcher test passed on linux. no remote/relay/tunnel client was exercised; this change is in the contributor check command.
