check stops when encountering a dangling symlink #1494
Description
Hello,
First thank you for this great tool :)
When using robocop check, if there is a dangling symlink among the files, robocop will halt and I found no way to circumvent that.
Here is what I tried:
$ ln -s /non-existing-file dangling-symlink
$ ll
total 8.0K
4.0K drwxr-xr-x 2 ncarrier ncarrier 4.0K Oct 16 10:43 .
4.0K drwxrwxrwx 31 ncarrier ncarrier 4.0K Oct 16 10:42 ..
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 ncarrier ncarrier 18 Oct 16 10:43 dangling-symlink -> /non-existing-file
$ robocop check
FatalError: File '/non-existing-file' does not exist
$ robocop check --exclude=/non-existing-file
FatalError: File '/non-existing-file' does not exist
$ robocop check --exclude=dangling-symlink
FatalError: File '/non-existing-file' does not exist
$ robocop check --exclude=${PWD}/dangling-symlink
FatalError: File '/non-existing-file' does not exist
$ robocop check --exclude=${PWD}/dangling-symlink --exclude=/non-existing-file
FatalError: File '/non-existing-file' does not exist
$ robocop --version
robocop, version 6.8.0
Maybe robocop should resolve symlinks only after applying the filtering options? Or have an option to ignore symlinks, or maybe just dangling ones?
