[BUG] commitlint.config.js gets ignored

1. Please make sure you have installed @commitlint/config-conventional.
2. Please make sure your commitlint config is valid. See Commitlint Website.

I don't understand. Where do I have to install @commitlint/config-conventional?
I'm using Visual Studio Code with your vscode-conventional-commits extension, but I want to change the type-enum.
I don't have a Node project.

So where or how do I have to install @commitlint/config-conventional?

You write in your README: "Respect commitlint configs." So you don't read the commitlint.config.js?

[vivaxy]

You have to install @commitlint/config-conventional in your project or in global.
And your commitlint.config.js is not valid. Please correct it according to Commitlint docs.

By design, vscode-conventional-commits extension does not install commitlint configs. Because there are lots of configs and lots of versions. If you'd like to use commitlint, please at least follow the commitlint config specification.

Here's some details about logic. The @commitlint/config-conventional preset represents some commitlint rules. The vscode-conventional-commits extension reads the config file, and finds out the preset rule name as @commitlint/config-conventional. But the extension does not know what exact the rules are, until it finds out the detailed @commitlint/config-conventional config files. You can install @commitlint/config-conventional in your project, which is recommended. Or you can copy the @commitlint/config-conventional rules to your commitlint.config.js.

Thank you for your question, looking forward to your response.

Ok, thanks for you explanation.
I installed @commitlint/config-conventiona and fixed my commitlint.config.js and and it works.

Unfortunately after every "type" you put a colon ":", which is against the commit rules for TYPO3 projects. Is it possible to get rid of the colon?

[vivaxy]

vscode-conventional-commits follows Conventional Commits which is not compatible with Commit Message rules for TYPO3 CMS. Maybe you can try to find or build another extension. 😃
