Ignoring rules from .rooignore

[AlexBlack772]

App Version

[3.25.23] - 2025-08-22

API Provider

Google Gemini

Model Used

gemini-2.5-flash

Roo Code Task Links (Optional)

No response

🔁 Steps to Reproduce

Make any request to LLM, for example, I made a request “what task does the current project solve?”

💥 Outcome Summary

When viewing the logs of requests to LLM, it can be seen that roo includes in the context a list of files from the directory with logs, which is blocked in .rooignore.

I excluded the data directory in .rooignore, but the data/logs/* files are still added to the list of files.

It is expected that if the user has excluded the directory, then it does not need to be processed in any way.

I'm exploring a potential fix for this issue where ignored files are still being listed in the environment details. I'll open a PR to share progress.

[roomote]

I've opened PR #7369 with a fix for this issue: #7369

The fix changes the default value of showRooIgnoredFiles from true to false, which prevents ignored files from appearing in the environment details sent to LLMs.

Note: There are some CI test failures that appear to be unrelated to this change (the tests are failing on assertions not related to the showRooIgnoredFiles functionality). The integration tests are passing successfully.
