unable to use the '--force-exclusion' flag in the rubocop executable path about linter-rubocop HOT 5 CLOSED

It's actually already there. I edited the main Linter package to see the log, and here's the command it runs (without anything but the executable in the path):

/Users/steven/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/bin/rubocop --force-exclusion --format emacs --config /Users/steven/Development/MyProject/.rubocop.yml /var/folders/5m/fw5tzfv51pn_182x0_1js9v80000gn/T/AtomLinter115529-76624-1w4doni/schema.rb

As far as I can tell, the exclusion problem (which is, I assume, why you're trying to add --force-exclusion) stems from using a completely different path to the file from the one Rubocop would exclude - and that's how the Linter package works. As far as Rubocop is concerned, it's just a file somewhere else on the system that has nothing to do with the files in the include/exclude paths, even if they share the same name. There's no .rubocop.yml in /var/folders/5m/fw5tzfv51pn_182x0_1js9v80000gn/T/AtomLinter115529-76624-1w4doni, and it doesn't even preserve the /db/ part of the path, so it's all sorts of wacky.

I'm not sure if this has to be "fixed" in rubocop, or the linter should parse the found .rubocop.yml file and not try to lint excluded files in the first place.

My findings can be tested by running these two commands from the project root (assuming it's a Rails app - replace db/schema.rb with any excluded file if not):

cp --parents db/schema.rb ~/Desktop
rubocop ~/Desktop/db/schema.rb --force-exclude --config .rubocop.yml

👍 this is a very annoying issues to not have the rubocop exclude rules applied inside atom, rendering the rubocop linter quite painful to use.

Guys, can you review the PR #75 ?

To test it :

• remove the official linter-rubocop package
• clone my 'understand-exclude-parameters' branch
• cd to the cloned repo
• run apm link
• add '--force-exclusion' to the Additional Arguments in the package's config
• append/merge this in your .rubocop.yml config file

AllCops:
  Exclude:
    - '**/db/schema.rb'

• open a "schema.rb" file in Atom, lint and see if you get errors or not

This is fixed in 0.4.0
