ignore-file does not appear to work in vacuum.conf.yaml

[thom-nic]

My vacuum.conf.yaml looks like:

ruleset: "api/ruleset.yaml"
ignore-file: "api/ignore.yaml"

When I run: vacuum lint -d api/swagger.yml

I see the output:

INFO  Linting file 'api/swagger.yml' against 69 rules: https://quobix.com/vacuum/rulesets/recommended

so it appears to be using my ruleset. If I add the option argument:

vacuum lint -d --ignore-file api/ignore.yaml api/swagger.yml

I see the intended effect:

version: 0.17.0 | compiled: Sun, 08 Jun 2025 18:08:07 UTC
🔗 https://quobix.com/vacuum | https://github.com/daveshanley/vacuum


 INFO  Linting file 'api/swagger.yml' against 69 rules: https://quobix.com/vacuum/rulesets/recommended

 INFO  Using ignore file 'api/ignore.yaml'

...

So it seems like that option is not supported in the conf file. Is this a bug?

[thom-nic]

I figured it out. These options only apply to the lint subcommand, so the options have to go under a lint key in the config. My conf now looks like this:

ruleset: "api/ruleset.yaml"
lint:
  ignore-file: "api/ignore.yaml"
  fail-severity: warn
  no-clip: true
  details: true

This would def be something helpful to mention on the configuration page on the website.
