Excluded syntax not working anymore in 0.58.0

New Issue Checklist

• I've Updated SwiftLint to the latest version.
• I've searched for existing GitHub issues.

Bug Description

We are using swiftlint in our project for years. In the .swiftlint.yml file we were excluding some folders.
In the latest release this doesn't work anymore and swiftlint tries to correct all files from the ThirdParty folders.

excluded:
  - "ThirdParty/**"
  - "*/ThirdParty/**"
  - "**/ThirdParty/**"

Mention the command or other SwiftLint integration method that caused the issue. Include stack traces or command output.

  swiftlint --fix --config "../.swiftlint.yml"
  swiftlint --no-cache --config "../.swiftlint.yml"

Environment

• SwiftLint version: 0.58.0
• Xcode version: Xcode 16.2 Build version 16C5013f
• Installation method used: Homebrew
• Configuration file:

excluded:
  - "ThirdParty/**"
  - "*/ThirdParty/**"
  - "**/ThirdParty/**"

What is a typical file path that gets linted while it shouldn't?

Please also provide your include and exclude patterns together with the command you are executing (like @dtodereanfourthline did).

example file path MyProject/ThirdParty/Lottie/Private/Model/DotLottie/ZipFoundation/Archive+Writing.swift. Literally everything under ThirdParty, thousands of files.

I'm affected by this as well.

excluded files:

excluded:
  - Generated
  - <package-name>/Sources/<package-name>/Services/Networking/GraphQL/Generated/*
  - "**/Package.swift"

command:
swiftlint lint <workspace-path> --config <workspace-path>/.swiftlint.yml --quiet --reporter json

What's funny is that I cannot reproduce locally, not sure why - on my machine, the files are properly excluded, but on CI they are not (both cases using 0.58.0 and using same command), so hundreds or warnings are reported there

My team has just observed that if we add the following syntax, everything works. So this means that most probably wildcards are not working anymore in the latest release.

excluded:
  - MyProject/ThirdParty

For the time being, I've reverted the change that was causing the regression. File filtering will hopefully work as normal again in 0.58.1.

Thank you @SimplyDanny
When can we expect 0.58.1 to be available via Homebrew?
