Typos reports typos in _typos.toml

[emilk]

Adding your own extend-words is quite problematic:

❯ cat _typos.toml 
[default.extend-words]
grey = "gray"

❯ typos
error: `grey` should be `gray`
  --> ./_typos.toml:2:1
  |
2 | grey = "gray"
  | ^^^^

I would suggest typos ignore its own configuration file when checking for typos

[MAHDTech]

You can ignore the config files if you create a .ignore file in the root of your repo, you can add this.

# Ignore any typos config files
typos.toml
_typos.toml
.typos.toml

Yeah, I can also add it to _typos.toml itself:

[default.extend-words]
grey = "gray"

[files]
extend-exclude = ["_typos.toml"]

it just feels a bit silly that the default behavior is that typos trips on its own config file

[epage]

There are a couple of ways for us to fix this

• Automatically put it in extend-exclude
  • This would allow someone to explicitly do spell checking of the file if they want (typos _typos.toml)
• Add a new filetype and exclude chekcing the file by default
• Hard code this directly in the source

Any thoughts on what approach to take?

[emilk]

For me it makes sense to hard-code typos to ignore its own config files since the main purpose of the config files is to contain typos and their corrections

[sshishov]

Agree, why people want to check for typos the typos configuration file which contains all the typos?
