Can't unignore patterns inside of ignore option

[nzakas]

Environment

• OS Version: Windows 10
• Node.js Version: v16.3.0

Actual behavior

When specifying the ignore option, negated patterns are ignored.

Expected behavior

When specifying the ignore option, negated patterns should be honored.

Steps to reproduce

1. Call fg or fg.sync with an ignore option specified containing a negated pattern.
2. Note that the results do not reflect the negated pattern.

Code sample

This should return all JS files inside of a directory, ignoring lib but including lib/rules:

fg.sync[["**/*.js"], { ignore: ["**/lib/**", "!**/lib/rules/**"] })

However, the result is that no files from lib/rules are included in the results.

Note: .gitignore allows negated patterns such as this to re-include files that were previously ignored.

Hello, @nzakas,

Thanks for reporting this issue. Yes, you are right. Right now there is no way to use negative patterns in the ignore option to cancel previous patterns.

There is already an issue for this problem — #86. I will close this ticket in favor of the existing one.

Ah thanks! I will follow that one.
